Millions in pot and cash seized in drug busts
By Herald Staff
Seven hundred fully-grown marijuana plants with a street value of $14 million and $2.4 million in cash was the total amount Hollywood police seized during Thursday afternoon's drug busts in Hollywood and Dania, police said.
Hollywood police Lt. Tony Rode said Thursday that the tally was so large that officers would have to work late through the night to weigh the pot and count the money.
Eight of the busts took place in Hollywood. The one in Dania Beach was in the same neighborhood where Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne lives.
The suspects arrested were Robert Pelletier, Mark Stephen Bettencourt,Robert M. Bettencourt of Hollywood, and Micael R. Blood of Hallandale, police said.
The homes and businesses where the pot and cash were stashed - all expected to be seized through forfeiture laws - have several million dollars in value, police said.

That is some expensive ganja... If I did my math correct, 700 plants at one pound of bud per plant is 11,200 ounces of bud. At 14 million, that is $1,250 per ounce. Down here an expensive ounce is $400 and a cheap ounce is around $100.
In the US, the courts assume 1lb per plant regardless of size, sex, or age of the plant. Most plants that I have seen generate less than a pound.

I'm calling bullshit, no marijuana is really worth more than $50 USD for 1/8oz. and if you've payed more, you're getting ripped off. Theres no such thing as bud like G-13...
