I always find the cop math fascinating. Their #'s are always heavily exaggerated. $250k - $350k street value. MAYBE $500k in especially dry areas, but with current MJ laws around the country, it's far easier to get legally these days. I'm surprised the mexican brickweed is still being imported. I haven't come in contact with any of that stuff in over 10 years. Maybe their #'s are so high because it's such a rarity these days. Lol.
Some areas of the country, you get $400 a pound for 20-25% potency weed.
Same weed will get $1200 a pound in other states...
In my financial services career, we refer to such regional price mismatches as “arbitrage opportunities”.
Just like any other commodity the worth is only what the market will bear.
But yeah I tend to agree, law enforcement tends to want to lean on the higher end of estimated value.
Makes it a “bigger bust”.
