RE: California Marijuana Legal 1-2018 & Shut Out Bank Investors: Cryptocurrency The Answer?
Here the laws penalize the consumption and distribution, but the reality is something different, because of the political and social disaster. Which is a breeding ground for any thing, even it is possible for some people to have more profits selling basic products in black markets than with drugs
PD: basic products, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, sugar, coffee and so a long list
What is the normal cost vs the black market prices for those consumer essentials?
For example a kilogram of Vermicelli costs regulated by the government about 7,000Bs and in the black market it is sold between 70,000Bs to 90,000Bs. about 1,000% - 1,285% more
Update: To put things in context, the monthly salary is Bs. 700,000, which is about $ 5 or $ 6 at today's exchange rate.
