Re: The 90s
As others have said, a night out that only cost a score. Going to the pub for a few jars was genuinely within reach for most people. So few can’t afford it, or justify the expense now.

Re: The 90s
Yes, but substituting cocaine for acid would be like swapping a cat for an orange, nonsensical. Also, I have no idea what it costs these days but a gramme of coke was £50 in 1993/4, my rent was £55 a week. I was a student, not a city boy.

Re: The 90s
I've heard that a single ecstacy tablet could cost between £10 and £20 depending on quality and strength. And an 8th of weed was £15.
I've no idea what it would cost now though.

I'm looking forward to Gladiators tomorrow night.
What are you looking forward to, or dreading?

Re: The 90s
I’ve heard you could buy a tab of acid for £3 or £4 back in the early/mid 90s, Which is in stark contrast to £50 for a gram of coke, which I’ve heard is what that cost.EliotNes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 3:22 pmSubstitute "Cocaine" for "LSD" and welcome to the 3rd decade of the 2000s.Mick McQuaid wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 2:59 pm LSD being readily available and practically given away.

Re: The 90s
I’ve heard £15 was the going rate circa 1990-93, which would see you right for a good 6-8 hours.

Re: The 90s
I've heard that by '95 a dove would cost a tenner. I've also heard that 50% of those 6-8 hours was on the downward slope. So the best way to use 2 pills was to take a half every 2 hours and then rely on the 8th of weed to get you through the comedown.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 9:54 pmI’ve heard £15 was the going rate circa 1990-93, which would see you right for a good 6-8 hours.
Or so I've heard.
