Weed prices around the world

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.

weed is 10 a gram for mids.15 a gram for kinbud.and 20 a gram for skunk.25-30 for haze and hydro. so there are very different ways that you could break up the prices of weed in the united states and it also depends on who and where you get it from. the better that the deals become the more that people are going to smoke the weed that people have in the united states. so if america really wanted to make money then they would leagalize the trade of weed in the way that it would be taxable just like in the netherlands. and also the crime rate would go down so there is no need for the extra spending on the people to get trained in the ways of finding it. it would just be like growing and the manufacture of tabbaco.

This was posted about 4 years ago, back in 2007, truly an amazing data presented! So, who can now tell me the updates? Is Japan still the costliest place in the world for weed?
