The Economics Of Trafficking In French Cannabis
CANNABIS and how to make money from its dealing - an equation. As told by The Croydonian:
The dope dealer’s necessities - long overcoat, loose tobacco, skins, scientific calculator….
That equation comes courtesy of the Observatoire Francais des Drogues et des Toxicomanes, also known as the OFDT. Said organisation has been examining the economics of trafficking in cannabis, and that equation shows how the pusherman can maximise his, or indeed, her profit, with variables including wholesale price, street price, purchasing cycle and number of competitors on the block /street. There do not appear to be variables for paying off les flics, or cutting the resin with Oxo. Anyway, the full methodology and supporting report is available here.Libération carries the tale too, and in what I suspect may well be a first for a national newspaper uses ’sh*t’ in its headline, that being a leading slang term for resin in French.
Who knww pot heads were so good at maths..?

i find your closing statement very insulting an steriotipical (excuse spelling)
and (not not targeted at you in perticular) but it wouldent hert for jernolists to reaserch into the positive things cannabiss has givern us
and the affect cannabis has on the sosioty in conparison to alcaholl, i for one have never seen or heard of a report where a “stoner/Pothead ect. sat at home stoned
into a happy “chilled out state” is compered to drunk drivers, alcohol fulled vilonce and drunkern disorderly citticens (excuse the spelling once more)
i just think there is fare to much bad publicity going round about cannabiss and i think if your oin to do it you might as well do it properly
how about looking at the effect canabis has on breast cancer i hear the news it quite positive
if this request/comment could be spread about the jernolistic circles eather by word of mouth or whatever method springs to mind it would be much aprecieated
