I love the way the Bovine Excrement specialists jack up the estimates of what they've found.
"as much as $3,500 per pound..."
In real life, possibly a third of that unless the guy growing it is selling it by eighth ounces on the street. Of course, why not extend the lie by using it's possible costs by the gram. Find a real rip-off artist who sells it for $35 a gram. That's $15,689.00 USD per/pound.
"officials say millions of dollars of pot was found, since each plant could be harvested four times a year."
Well hell, why not say they COULD have grown it in 6 separate layers using vertical hydroponic growing methods and harvested 6 times that many plants.
Using just a little more lying, they could claim a BILLION DOLLAR bust.
What a shame that the so-called JUSTICE system has to LIE and CHEAT to justify it's own existence by FIRST cheating and making this wonderful plant ILLEGAL by requiring a TAX STAMP and making it IMPOSSIBLE to have a TAX STAMP without first performing an ILLEGAL ACT.
THEN they lie about how much the busted plants are worth so that they can INCREASE the amount of MONEY they receive from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to PAY more ANAL RETENTIVE PIGS.
The marijuana laws, government support and police actions are a joke.
The only people who believe them are the ones too stupid or too uninformed to know better, or the ones who just WANT to believe anything that makes the POLICE get more of our tax money.
