Saw in the news today that police arrested someone in Eugene with enough mushrooms to supply 2300 "hits".

Haha, "The spores would be able to produce a crop of mushrooms every 40 days."
Ya, i suppose if you were retarded at growing.
"Eugene Police Sgt. Jerry Webber said a pound of dried mushrooms can sell for up to $500."
Holy crap, i need to move to eugene oregon. That would sell for like 3k here.

Yup, thats what they go for here. $10 bucks a gram. $120 for a half ounce(14 grams). $200 for an ounce (28 grams) $1600 for a half pound (227(ish) grams)
I've never seen it for sale for more than that, but i'm sure a pound would have some discount to it. If not, i assume that a pound would be double a half pound, so $3000 to $3200 bucks.
Thats just my area, psychedellics are in short supply, and there is still high demand. Which means, high prices. This goes for acid too, it sucks.

I'm from Eugene, and while $500/lbs seems low for an individual pound, but it's about what I'd expect if one were buying multiple pounds. Ounces are $80-$100, individual 1/8ths i think usually go for $20 or $15

Hey!
2,300 mason jars of spores can only produce 10 to 15 pounds of mushrooms?
More like... millions and millions of pounds.

Sgt. Jerry Webber is a douche bag! He and a few other officers busted a house party I had in Eugene a few years ago with my roomates. We had a huge PA, a pair of tec12's, and my buddy was spinning dnb, jungle, hip hop, some rap. It was a tight party until they told us someone called them from 5 blocks away!

Ya, that is another interesting part of this story. Why was the guy sitting in a house with 2300 jars of mushroom spores. Spores!
Was each jar a print? Was each jar multiple prints? Do cops know the difference between spores and mycellium?
Also, i know why you need spores, but why do you need 2300 jars of spores? If we assume those are prints, and lets say you make 6 10cc syringes(i'm not really sure how far you can stretch a print, i always make them super dark). Now you have 13800 syringes full of spores.
Lets assume he doesn't use liquid cultures either. So, for each syringe, thats 10 jars(if the fool still was on the pf tek method). Now thats 138,000 half pint jars going.
Now lets say, just to get a low numbers, he got two dried grams per cake per flush. And he only gets three flushes out of the cakes. that would be 138000 times two. 276000 grams per flush. That times three is 828,000. Convert those grams to pounds and you have 1825 lbs(plus a little). Thats a lot of mushrooms.
Anyway, sorry, i just got bored and thought i'd add up the numbers. Please correct me as i'm sure i've made a mistake somewhere and i'll update the numbers.
Edit: Oh ya, and at 500 bucks a pound thats $912,875. Thats in oregon. Here in texas that would be $5,477,250.

Well since spores aren't illegal, this guy should get off if the cops really busted him for spores. Dumbasses. He will get off if he looks outside the box or has a lawyer that isn't a retarded coke-head.
