650 pound marijuana bust

650 pounds of marijuana was confiscated by the police worth 10 million dollars. I live within a mile from where the bust was. The police think they made a big bust but there is still 1000s of pounds still out on the streets. This bust hasnt effected my marijuana connection at all.
here is the story http://wjz.com/local/local_story_135124813.html

Perhaps they calculate cost based on smaller transactions...I don't want to do the math but if you're selling those pounds by the 8th or even quarter your profits will obviously be a lot higher than if you're selling by the pound(which would be the case).

Damn, you guys pay $120.19 for an eighth? That's pretty pricy by my judgment.

Even if you sell that 8th for 8th at $50 bucks each straight up,all the way, you would only make 7.28 million.

It's still fucked up to use the street and not the wholesale. In any case they are both vastly inflated. DEA pulls numbers out of their asses.
Like someone else said, I couldn't see that being worth more than a couple mil at that level.

I think they added the price of all the other drugs they were doing when they came up with that figure.

The article says that they found 650 pounds of weed, in addition to other drugs. Im pretty sure in order to add up to that huge amount it would have had to be a LOT of other drugs, in such quantities that they would mention it. So they still definitely inflated the price.

The pigs have been inflated prices since the 60's.
Wish I could find a street like that to sell drugs on.

From what i understand alot of drugs busted on the streets usually go back out on the streets to catch more users and big dealers looking for large amounts.
