Darn. I used to live there 20 yrs ago and I was hoping to know how some of my favorite outdoor strains were doing.

Gainesville Green?
Micanopy Madness?

Forget about it. Everything in Gainesville is absolute crap that comes from some south Florida douche bags.

Well. Looks like the war on drugs is over. Mission accomplished.

testsicles		2007-12-10 11:29:18 AM

At least the War on Drugs has made it unprofitable to be in the drug business.

Crap! A lot of those were around here and I didn't even know about it. On the other hand, this area has become a lot more interesting lately.

Baumer		2007-12-10 11:33:03 AM

Nice of them to not mention Myakka City, home of (obvious) Myakka Gold. I guess that's not so much up and running anymore, though.

Fishflinger		2007-12-10 11:34:23 AM

Amateurs.
The weed farm busts in DFW have been thousands of plants, not just 100s. On one of the bust they had to bring in a Chinook helicopter to haul the plants out.

j_moriarty		2007-12-10 11:34:33 AM

Oh, the "other kind" of weed. I was looking for crabgrass and dandelions.

High Springs is named that for a reason....

Jeebus, I read that as "weed killer". I need to wake up.

thisisntnamtherearerules		2007-12-10 11:43:22 AM

Anyone who grows in the Miami Ft lauderdale area is stupid. They do infared, check electric bills, all that shiat. You might get away with a few plants, but try more and see what happens.
/know of a few busted growhouses down south
//not sure if these are them

Who decided it was ok for journalists to use widely available tools like Google earth and create a story from it? Same goes for little factoids they love to slip in to stories like "...when typed into google it comes up with over 3 million hits..."

Do some farking reporting.

slick_rick2k		2007-12-10 11:47:30 AM

I call shenanigans. The "street values" they mention are a farking joke. $160k for 25 pounds = $6400 a pound or $400 an ounce. That is some insanely expensive ganga, especially for a state that not only grows a bunch of it but is close to Kentucky AND is one of the two primary smuggling routes for drugs from South America. If pot really is $400 an ounce then it gives a whole new meaning to the term "Columbian Gold"...

No Expectations		2007-12-10 11:55:45 AM

The latest Rolling Stone (with Led Zeppelin on the cover) has the best overview of the "drug war" that I have ever read. Well worth tracking down.

Good South Florida hydro is $100 a quarter oz. You can get a oz for cheaper then $400 buying bulk, but to answer your question, yes it is $400 an oz

I thought the good stuff was $300.00/oz. That way some guy buys an oz and sells three of the four 1/4 bags to friends and gets his free for the trouble.

*apparently away from the drug culture for too long.

I feel safer. How 'bout you?

Rik01		2007-12-10 12:24:19 PM

(Yawn)

They missed the other 260 grow places and forgot about the landing sites along the beaches.

Florida has been a thriving place for pot since the 60s and, back in the 70s, you almost had to watch where you walked because it seemed everywhere.

A couple of hundred pounds of the stuff washed up on local beaches one year -- and the cops were a bit slow to react so 'sea-weed' wound up all over town. A few years later, a big growing operation in the woods was discovered, complete with security systems, sophisticated watering and fertilizer and a guard shack. The growers cleverly worked the plants into the wild Palmettos to hide them from the air and placed them in a secluded spot.

They made one mistake.

They put their major field right next to a Boy Scout Camp. The Scouts noticed the odd plants growing in the woods and, soon after, the cops swept in and cleaned them out.

Dude, I just bought a quarter for $50. Primo Canadian shiat, too. Man, I love living in Ontario.

So that's what in real dollars? Like $65?

Wait a sec, Floridians, since when did Palm Bay rate its own map label over Melbourne? Hell, from the looks of that pot map, you'd think it was the size of Orlando.

/now if it was a meth map, I'd understand Palm Bay being so prominent....

It's probably not a coincidence that I can't get the map to work. It's the same thing every time I try to find weed!

OS 2 Warp 9.5		2007-12-10 02:51:31 PM

347 plants weighing approximately 68 pounds with a street value of $435,000.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

68lbs includes all leaf stems and stalk, 347 grown hydro, is going to net you max (this is EXTREME conditions) 1 lb/plant on avg about 1/4 lb per so to just be nice to said grower say 1/2lb per plant so 347 plants @ 8 ounces per is 173.5lbs now if d00d is selling it himself he's looking avg 1.25K/lb if he's off loading the entire bag at once,for a total of 216,875.00 if he's nickel and dimeing it, 1.5k/lb for a total of 260,250.00 Now you take into consideration chemicals, lamps, tables, rockwell cubes, buckets and clay pellets and watering systems he's making between 150 and 180K for a 3 1/2 month turn around, not a bad lil haul but its not 435K.

/Not that I know anything about this stuff
//Weed? what weed.

I believe those numbers were pulled from some narc's very tight ass.

OS 2 Warp 9.5		2007-12-10 02:58:47 PM

And the weed has made me stupid I just realized I had it weighed out at more than the cops.

puff puff fark off this is mine.

Slapguts		2007-12-10 03:20:08 PM

I was under the impression that weed street values were measured in joints @ $5 each. Or dime bags.

Wasabi-Burn		2007-12-10 04:58:34 PM

In Arcata , Ca weed is truly everywhere .The quality is the best I have ever seen. $225 oz at most. Get to know a grower and the price drops way down. Paying $150 oz for blueberry.
not that I would know anything about that

I lived there about five years ago, and I can pretty well assure you that there's still some stuff growin' up around there. I reckon they're calling it by a different name, now, is all.
