The article said that there were just 239 plants. That would be almost $3000 each. The figure I had always heard when drug raids' takes were figured had been $1000 for each plant. I guess Ohio pot is 3 times as good as regular pot.

How do investigators instantly know the value of drugs they find? What, does it have a price tag on it or something?

They smoldered for hours, and hours.

And, then the Chief showed up on-scene. And, they smoldered, and smoldered some more.

They just can't seem to extinguish this fire.

Plus, the males (half of them) would be destroyed once sexed, leaving 129 approximately female plants.

So that's $6,000 each.
