Santa Maria Beach, Los Santos - Drugs; we all know it’s there being sold and being used. We might even use it ourselves, sometimes medicinal, sometimes recreational and sometimes we do just to make playing ‘Go Go Space Monkey’ more fun. But why is it so easily available to average citizens? SA News went in to take a closer look at the drug trade. We talked to some of the main characters and made some astonishing discoveries.

After the crates are delivered, the drug dealer buys the crates for about $1000 to $1200 per crate, each crate holds 10 grams or ounces. The drugs are sold for about $200 to $300 each gram or ounce which comes down to an astonishing 100% to 200% markup. We asked O.G. (Original Gangsta), local rapper (from the song: “Loonies Prospa”) and professional drug dealer Yuri Dela Cruz about his job: ”The reason drugs is widely available in Los Santos? Yeah, that’s probably all because of me” he said with a proud smile on his face. “On an average day I buy and sell about 2,000 grams / ounces per day” which means a profit of about $200,000 to $400,000 per day. When we asked Mr. Dela Cruz whether he would like to remain anonymous he replied: “No, on the contrary, put my name all over the article!”
