According to an article by Ken Dermota in the July/August issue of the Atlantic, cocaine costs four times as much in Atlanta as it does in New York.
Quoting U.S. government stats, Dermota says cocaine cost $80-$100 per gram in Atlanta in 2005. In New York the same year, it cost $20-$25.
Note: The Atlantic is not trying to be Clark Howard for cokeheads. The story is actually about how Plan Colombia, the U.S. government’s $4.7 billion effort to attack cocaine production in South America, has coincided with an overall drop in the price of cocaine. In other words, Plan Colombia is a failure.
