    Are you sure it’s that cheap in Singapore if it’s illegal there? A kilo is about 20 grand here in Estonia, has been for ages. When buying by the gram anyway, I don’t know anyone who buys it by the kilo. Assume it would be a bit cheaper them. And we don’t execute smugglers, it’s just illegal.

    I’d assume if they kill smugglers it’ll be way more expensive in Singapore

      If it’s 20 per G retail, it’s probably about a third of that price per kilo. Risk premium and distributor profit.

      And yeah, I’ve never smelled it anywhere I’ve visited in Estonia (or any of the other Baltic states). I like a simple life not involving fines or police shakedowns, so I never buy it unless it’s legal, or (as in the Netherlands and Spain) if not strictly legal, effectively so.
