Ohio Cops Make $3.75 Million Marijuana Bust * 1

Ohio Cops Make $3.75 Million Marijuana Bust

In an elaborate undercover operation, authorities in Ohio seized nearly $4 million in marijuana shipped from medical dispensaries in California, Colorado, and Oregon. Along with the leaf itself, candies, drinks and brownies laced with the potent drug were also part of the haul.

According to the reports of several outlets, the Warren County Drug Task Force, Ohio State Highway Patrol and other officials worked in tandem across three Ohio counties to shut down the shipment of edible pot and weed. Warren, Montgomery and Drake counties were the areas the operation took place, taking down Bradley O'Neal, 26, and Casey Oakes, 27, with several other indictments to come.

O'Neal and Oakes purchased 100 pounds of marijuana for $180,000 in Warren County from undercover officers, resulting in cops establishing six search warrants across Montgomery and Drake counties. Each pound has a street value close to $5,000, said task force Commander John J. Burke.

The bust yielded an array of edible marijuana-laced items such as brownies, candies and drinks. Ohio has been dealing with an uptick in these manner of busts for the past year, which seems to have a connection with medical marijuana centers found on the West Coast.

Also on the national radar recently was the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's seizure last week of a truck that was supposed to be carrying Mexican squash into lower Texas but instead was hiding pounds of marijuana with a street value of $10.1 million.

The Warren County Drug Task Force press release can be read here. http://www.wcdtf.org/news/press_releases/112613.pdf

Does Ohio, home to Meigs County, really need to *import* pot?  I went to college in Athens, and there was never a shortfall for local herb.

$5000 for an elbow?  I'm guessing these are the medicinal prices...

I know we have some great herb and herb products here on the west cost, but like Clifton said, there's local herb...

Interesting story...

Wow, so the cops busted them for weed that they sold them?

In other words, they only committed the crime they are guilty of (possession of 100 pounds) because the cops were the ones selling it

Even top shelf can't be going for 5k/pound. The dispensaries could never turn that into a profit, they'd need to sell at 312/ounce just to break even, that's already nearly the price they sell them for and still get a good profit. Unless you count taxes and inflate the price I don't see any dispensary paying more than 4k for a pound.

Based one what has been available on the black market here i suspect a lot of stuff we get in ohio is coming from the legal states.  It seems to be drivnig the prices down on everything tho do to competition which is nice.

Just fucking legalize it and take the criminal aspect out of it ....

The street value means how much the pot is worth when sold in 1/8's and 1/4's etc.  In which case, $5000 a pound is correct.  In other words, the retail value, not the wholesale value. ±±±±±Just FYI

I'm from Cincy area I remember seeing this on my local news recently. This article has some of the facts messed up.

Undercovers bought 100 pounds imported from legal states they didn't sell it like the article erroneously states, and in total they seized 750 pounds. I don't know if that weight is just the green or if that includes the edibles.

Ya if you click the link to the drug task force press release at the bottom it says the cops purchased the weed from them, and it also only says 750.  The writer of this article is a bit off.


All the weed I see around my parts is shipped from west coast.

Importing weed from California is bad, you are supposed to import it from a cartel that cuts peoples heads off and bribes your local police.

So the cops sold weed and busted the buyers?
So all we have to do is be cops then buying and selling will be legal?

Also they said almost 5 for a bo
That's slightly over 300/zip, and that's about what it goes for in non new states.

Propaganda by the police.


It is as shame that some of us can't get on main stream news and defend ourselves from these lies.

A pound of good grade BUDD in my part of the country sells for about $1600.00

You are in Canada though... and the article says they paid 1800 a pound.  they said 5 g street value because that's what it can be sold for, obviously not at wholesale.
