The cost of drugs in the media and government talk are almost always wrong.
two million grams of cocaine
Where I live a relatively pure gram goes for €60/g. So that’s €120 million worth of pure cocaine.
I think the price that they used is the price they dare ask in the medical world. Which I’ve seen to be up to $500/g in small quantities. (Posted online by a science student who saw it listed on a certified vendor website). So even if that’s the amount they put on it that would still only be $1 billion instead of 3, and that’s not even wholesale.
