How much does Xanax sell for on the street, per milligram? I’m referring to genuine, pressed Pfizer tablets or generic equivalents from a recognized manufacturer, not the type sold on blotters on the darknets. This question was prompted by something I saw on last week’s episode of _Chicago Med_. I do not now, nor have I ever, nor _will_ I ever, sell Grandma’s Little Helper on the street.

Street drug prices vary quite widely, moment to moment, location to location. There’s a site called street rx where one can check out reported prices in your neighborhood, along with site user’s comments as to whether that was a good price or not.
