Illegal drugs vs. candy bars

The Dear Leader said that illegal drugs (actually, I think he just said drugs - I'm assuming illegal) were cheaper than candy bars.

What a shock. He lied.

Just checked the google

Crack cocaine, $600 per gram.
Meth, $120 per gram
Heroin, $110 per gram
Marijuana, $15 per gram
Cocaine, $110 per gram

Okay, I realize (now that I looked it up) that a gram can provide x number of hits, and these vary by drug, so there's that to consider.

But here are some per gram prices for candy bars:

Hershey bar, $.012 per gram
Pure 7 chocolate bar, $.25 per gram
Valrhona Signature range, $.0325 per gram
Zchocolat, $.28 per gram

Nope. Candy bars still cheaper than illegal drugs.
