$21 million for 8415 plants equals about $2500 per plant. Street retail prices for dried marijuana flowers run about $250/ounce. A plant that would yield 10 ounces of dried flowers would have to be a pretty big plant since the water loss in drying is about 80% of the weight. I wish the people who write these stories would do a little math. It would enhance their credibility.

I wish the people who write these stories would do a little math. It would enhance their credibility.I think the value of the plant is calculated by the number of joints it would produce, rolled as thin as a sewing needle, at a dollar a joint.

“The facts are that marijuana is growing in practically every county,” said SLED Chief Robert Stewart.We'll be winning the War On Some Drugs any day now. Until then, keep paying your taxes!

That is an old law enforcement tradition. They find a hundred pot plants and announce they have just busted a fifty million dollar growing operation. I think they borrow the calculators from the IRS that are used to calculate interest on penalties and penalties on interest, before figuring in the interest penalty penalty interest on the interest on the penalties.

York County officials have made 13 arrests this year but most of those have been connected to small-scale backyard busts — usually less than a dozen plants in plastic planters. I think most means 12.
To: Stirner
Street retail prices for dried marijuana flowers run about $250/ounce. First off, how do you know this? And 2nd, prices range anywhere from a couple hundred and ounce to over $400 an ounce depending on quality. Top notch kind bud can easily bring in over $400 an ounce and people will line up to pay it.

I teach at a High school in Rock Hill and thought that you may have been a "MR LeMay" that worked with me in a program here called "CCC Lab".
I was looking for a local freeper to associate with

Most large-scale pot farmers are “guerrilla growers.” They plant on land they do not own, on utility right-of-ways and in reforested pine fields. Imagine that. People engaged in the act of felony gardening don't want to do it on their own land.
