Taking shwag of the streets is the most honorable thing a cop could do.

I wonder if the pigs ever stop and realize that every time they're pulling a "record bust" it just means they're getting a miniscule sample of what they're not busting? Fucking morons.

well how do the budget people get hooked up? It's a bit harder to find some dank home growns than it is mids.
Then again heart is what matters and weed that is grown for the sake of quality is better than weed grown for money.
anyway.... makes you wonder how much of the bust gets pocketed, I'm sure there are cops that would dip their hands into it if they could.
plus what do they do with the bust.... they can't just hold it in their station.... they probably BURN it all!

I guarantee you that some of those cops pocketed some of that weed and they are making some money today.

Cops may be dumb, but not dumb enough to pocket and attempt to sell shwag.

Why not?
How is it dumb to throw 20 pounds of schwag in your car, call up your neighborhood dealer, and make a quick $15,000? And how do you know this stuff is schwag? It could be anything...from midgrade to funk.

2500 lbs worth $11.6 million? Thats like $4640 a lb. $1160 for a QP, jeez. Like $290 for an ounce. Thats expensive bud, even if its nice. But maybe i don't know philly prices.
That, or ,more than likely, the actual value of it is way overexaggerated.

Philly has generally low prices compared to other places I have been...that number is way exagerated...no one pays that much for pot.
Check the related stories in the link. The border patrol just siezed 36,000 lbs this weekend....now that's alot of herb.

That, or ,more than likely, the actual value of it is way overexaggerated.
here let me show you some DEA conversion formulas 50 DEA lbs = 5 American lbs $1000 DEA = $75 American 1 jar of mushrooms = complex mushroom cultivation lab. threat to society. 5 pot plants = 20 pounds of marijuana (they decide to weigh all the growing materials, soil, etc, for the hell of it)
The cost of creating a black market where easily growing weeds are worth millions of inflated untaxed dollars for you and your corrupt government officials to prosper over under the counter? Priceless.
