Drugs on the cheap

A LINE of cocaine can cost as little as £1, new figures show. The Home Office said a gram of the Class A drug can cost as little as £20.

Experts estimate each gram can yield up to 20 lines, putting the price of a line at less than a cup of coffee. The average price of both heroin and cocaine has plummeted in recent years; a gram of cocaine cost 77 a decade ago.
