Title: Lebanon, Ohio high school kid nabbed as kingpin of marijuana operation
Post by: LVGaryD on July 16, 2012, 06:02:10 PM
http://news.yahoo.com/ohio-high-school-kingpin-arrested-major-drug-bust-164911807--abc-news-topstories.html

Editor's note: These dumbass "journalists" need to ask questions and be more informed before running with such b.s. "Facts".

The article says the group made $20,000 per month selling weed for $350-$400 per ounce in local schools. Then they say they seized 600 plants worth $3 million. Horseshit!!

A hydroponic grown plant will generally yield about 3-5 ounces of high-quality dried weed buds. Let's say 4 1/2 ounces to be safe.

Using their high dollar figure of $400 per ounce, that would be $1800 per plant. 600 times $1800 does not equal anywhere near $3 million, and I highly doubt that they actually got more than $300 per ounce, or that the plants actually yielded that much dried bud.

I know professional growers that would love to sell $1800 per plant, but they say it just does not happen. Out here, the growers get only about $1000 per pound wholesale to dispensaries, so that is about the yield of four-five plants.

I am calling extreme bullshit. If they sold $20,000 per month, my figures are still way high, but I would say the plants are worth less than $1000 each, and actual cost was more like $100. I know a grower who grows outside and has 99 plants. He says he nets $100,000 per year from 99 outdoor plants, which are not hydroponic and yield about one pound or so each plant.

So much like the "horse theft" thread, I am calling bullshit here on the Lebanon, Ohio sheriff's figures.

Don't be so sure that they are not getting around $300 an oz for the pot.
I personaly know  2-3 people who are selling the hyprobonic weed for $50-$60 for an 1/8 of an oz and doing a booming business.

slaphead For top quality medical weed in Nevada, the price is $200 an ounce retail. If you have a caretaker, that's the price. If not, you have to buy it illegally and the price is higher.

Graduated in December, working in a small Accounting firm probably until after next tax season.  Hopefully will pass the EA exams soon as the new rules kind of limit the value of tax preparers

I hope we get a non-commie government in place so us non-EAs who have done taxes professionally for over 30 years can once again make a living without the government's permission.

Weed is not my thing, but I would immediately release every non-violent inmate who is locked up for posession. I'm sick of paying for it.

Throw the book at the mean ones.
