I love the way these guy always drive up the value of their busts. If it's $20 for 1/4 gram and 28 grams in an ounce and 16 ounces in a pound, that adds up to around 36k for a pound. They found three pounds or 108k. Is that correct?

They do the same thing here in California. They find one pot plant and I guess they assume the plant has seeds which beget more plants so they estimate the value 20 generations down the line.

Apparently the $800,000 figure is inaccurate, even for 3 full pounds.


The price of methamphetamine in Oklahoma is stable. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Dallas Division, which oversees the state of Oklahoma, reports that the price of methamphetamine throughout Oklahoma remained stable from the third quarter of FY2000 to the first quarter of FY2002. Methamphetamine in Oklahoma City sold for $65 to $90 per gram, $350 to $1,600 per ounce, and $12,000 to $20,000 per kilogram in the first quarter of FY2002. The price per pound was not available. In Tulsa the drug sold for $600 to $1,200 per ounce ($1,500 per ounce for crystal methamphetamine) and $8,500 to $15,000 per pound. In McAlester methamphetamine sold for $100 per gram, $1,000 per ounce, and $10,000 to $12,000 per pound. In Duncan the drug sold for $30 to $60 per gram and $700 to $1,000 per ounce.
