    How can purity go above 100? Is this concentrated cocaine? Supposed to water it down first or something?

      It clearly says 2014=100. Ergo a value of 160 is 3222.4 on the purity scale. You’re going to need a lot of water.

      100 is the relative purity and price in 2014.

      Would like to see absolute numbers.

        In the past decade or two, it has increased from 30-50% to 70-80%. Plenty of sources on this.

        It has become… 40%… purer in… 2024

        In ten years between be 2014 and 2024, average(?) cocaine purity in(?) Europe got 40% more pure.

        Is this… 🫴 🦋 Puritan culture?

      This is a relative scale. 100 being the baseline.

        So a random sample will contain 1.4 times as much coke, for 80% of the cost.

          Presumably 40% less non-coke inclusion. So if before it was 90% coke and 10% cut, it’d be 94/6

            That makes a lot more sense. Or the quality was originally absolutely terrible.

            Specifically from around 40-50% to 70-80%.

            It’s impossible to get more than roughly 85-90% purity as that’s the purity they export.

          Not one random sample but the average of all samples.

            The random sample collectively.

            @SCmSTR

            That’s 40% more coke per coke!

      For our purposes, 140 will do fine.
