I agree with Elvis, but as one who does some traveling and hobbies while traveling the correct question is "How much in XXXXXX?" fill in location.
Each market is different and to get an equivalent experience you need to adjust your budget in different places. In a lot of ways Chicago is a great place to hobby - lots of providers, active community, fairly reasonable prices, and that supply covers a broad range of price points. Having said that, there are also a lot of other excellent places to hobby, too. One could start with all the places where the hobby is legal, which has less effect on the experience than I expected, but certainly changes the risk equation and overall process.
As far as price, my normal reply is that you should spend as little as possible to get what you enjoy. That is going to be specific to you, and the only way for you to figure that out is to do some (hands on) research. I have spent under 200 and over 700, and both were disappointments. Somewhere in the middle I have found lots of happiness. That used to be in the 300-350 range for the most part, but it seems to have moved closer to 400 over the last year.
One other thing that is going to affect your total cost is whether you are a one-and-done, or long-term relationship guy. Becoming a regular can help to contain your costs as some ladies like to find ways to lock in good clients. A few ladies never do that, but most do, in my experience.
enjoy,
