via The Economist:
THE costliest place in the world to get high is Japan, according to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime’s annual World Drug Report. The street price of a gram of cannabis weed was $58.30 in 2005, over twice as much as in the next most expensive nation, Australia. Americans pay nearly twice as much as Canadians. Similar disparities occur in Europe. Although the Netherlands is the only Western country where cannabis can be bought legally, punters pay more there than in Germany or France. Prices are cheapest in developing countries, where enforcement is less strict.

Well well well, what do we got here? It looks like Japan is not a place that welcomes drugs comparing it with other places. Now that I see this I, I realize that doing drugs it’s quite expensive: it costs you money and eventually it costs you your own life.
