![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | nigel, i just did the math and 330,000 x $4000 is $1,320,000,000, but still, there has to be some serious exaggeration in there somewhere. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | but we share the same view delta9nxs; exaggerated scare campaigns; with bogus figures. all plants in OZ , are according to police; worth triple figure sums; whether they are sprouts or mature plants. It is based on 'commercial potential', yet quite often LEO'S figures are far in excess of street value. Unless it is a very rare strain, nobody is going to give you $4000 for a sprout. I think that Leo using 'dealer prices' in their estimations, continually raising the price so thier hauls look good, is an influence on the rising price of mj. Thanks for pointing out my maths, i look at all those 0 s and see o's; get distracted thinking about how many words will i need to use up all the o's. When i return to the arithmetic, i often find i have lost an o, in the process. I think that's what happened here. lol nigel

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | At least it wasn't a raid on every dispensary at once. 330,000 plants X $10 a gram = a billion. Street value is lowest common unit, multiplied by whatever the latest bustee/holder of said unit told the the cops they paid. Except Dimes, of course. All cops know dimebags = $10 that's why they are dimes. They ain't stupid! ![]() 28 gr X 16 oz per plant =448 (they count stems and roots) 448 gr/plant X 330,000 plants =147,840,000 total grams seized. 147,840,000 grams X $10 per 1 gram dime bag (feds unable to conceive of a 'dime' as anything other than $10!!) = $1,478,400,000 (1.478 Bil) minus what took for themselves = 1 billion, or in other words they kept 47,840,000grams or 1,708,571 Oz. (106,785 pounds ) {I love the calculator on google}This is enough to fill about 3 (3!!) 53' foot long semi- trailers completely full. Fuckers. if weed is decriminalized, and the mexicans claim 1 plant belonged to each illegal alien in a 10 mile radius, could they get off with a $100 fine each? 330,000 X 100 =33,000,000 33MIL!! what a boon to Cali's budget crises!! That'll hold them for about 3 or 4 days, at least.
