Is that funny because of the price of weed in Australia, or because the assumption is that they'll gank the stash before it gets to the locker?

Either way it's funny.

Or the massive inflation drug values somehow experience in police possession.
 
2010-07-14 08:31:31 AM
Or the fact that lockers are notoriously small in Oz.

48 kilos with 1 light, I suppose?

Well at least someone responsible is in charge of the drugs. I realize their are probably a few bad apples behind police badges, but most (at least that I know) are good, hard working, honest folks. Wait til some of you have children and have to face this topic from the angle of a responsible adult charged with raising kids properly - and YES that includes teaching them to steer clear of drugs or 'friends' that want them to try drugs.

There will be room for both plants once they remove the bulky buds from em.
 
2010-07-14 08:43:52 AM
Just get a spiffy pot for the one plant.
 
2010-07-14 08:45:02 AM
Hmm. If those were U.S. price estimates, they wouldn't be overinflated for a per-gram street price (assuming the weed is halfway decent). What gives? Doesn't your aussie fuzz know you have to add a zero to the value of seized drugs to make it look like they're saving society?

bigsnail: Or the massive inflation drug values somehow experience in police possession.

It actually seems to be a pretty decent estimate in this case. 48 Kilos is roughly 1695 ounces. At $300k total, that's a little less than $180 an ounce. In fact, if anything, the estimate is low.

That's really more of a Shelbyville idea.

Four plants = 300k?

How much does an oz cost these days?

That's $75,000 per plant. Let's say a plant yields four oz of flowers. The leaves and stalks don't get smoked.

Who is paying more than $18,000 for an oz of weed?

177$/ounce, which would be really too low for any sort of quality pot where I live. Ditch weed full of seeds, maybe, but nothing good.

You know, if everyone kept their standards a little higher, no one would have to smoke schwag anymore. Granted, the estimate could have included bulk pricing, but since when do cops take bulk pricing into consideration when they declare the value of a bust!

Seriously. Break it down into gram bags and sell them for $25 a pop. Bingo! 1.2 million.

Good, judicious use of misspellings and random capitalization. Fairly well executed overall. You've got a future in this business. It's good to see a troll on this site who's at least trying these days.

I assumed it was a dig at the ridiculous play monopoly money the Australians use, and its poor value to the USD.

sounds about right if u sold a pound at a time for $3k. Better be some good shiat, tho.

Where the hell do you live that Weed costs that much? Seriously, that's ridiculous. Unless you consider anything less then dro ditch weed...

From what my friend told me, the leaves are really good for making assorted food stuffs. I've still yet to try them, but it sound delicious.

There is no way in hell I'd ever pay $25 for a gram, I don't care if you tell me it's "Hitler's Grandmother" and it will make you feel like you can tiptoe on asteroids, that's nuts.

Exactly. A gram that was watered with the tears of cherubs and laced with the mane of a virgin unicorn would only be worth maybe $10.

Well, $15 is reasonable, depending. But not more than that.

Jesus folks, where do you live? My area's pretty well awash with smoke ranging from passable to downright tasty. I've still seen and purchased some stuff a decade ago that was in the $20-25/g range, because one toke off a tiny little bat was a one-way trip to majestic space. We're talking stone you into the couch, afraid to operate motor vehicles, the-snozzberries-taste-like-snozzberries high. It was almost too potent.

As a legal grower, I never ever waste the leaves. They either get made into hash or into cannabutter/cannaflour.

While the big fan leaves don't contain many trichomes, the other leaves are full of them.

That's odd. I've got a friend who lives in Australia that basically spent the entire trip she was home visiting baked out of her ever loving mind because of her complaints that Australia only has "bush weed".

When you see improbable weights like this listed, the cops are usually counting the entire plant, dirt and root ball included. It's not 48 kg of smokable product.

img1.fark.netOn Fark, sometimes people make repeated jokes and expect you to understand jokes that are related. One of these jokes is that police officers both A) Over estimate the value of weed B) are likely to consume confiscated drugs.
