redbarron77 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 multimillionaire with only $6,000 on hand???if the kid was that good, they will never find the rest of the $$$$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 1) $400/ounce isnt really that expensive2) there were 6 adult accomplices, the media are just using him for the generated story. He's not the kingpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 1) $400/ounce isnt really that expensivemaybe not for a ballin' guido like yourself. but thats twice the price of "average" weed, so it must not be too bad.if i was blowing $400 on drugs, it wouldnt be weed. i would buy an ounce of average weed, and one or two eight balls of cocaine. the cocaine would make the average weed so much better than whatever this kid was selling lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowdog Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 What kills me is they take this kid and accomplices down who are locally growing and stimulating the local stores, only to allow the Mexican Cartel to come back in now that the local pot shop is gone.

JStump Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It really depends on what kind of weed it is. A lot of you are pricing reggie which would definitely not cost $300-400. Hell, I used to pay as low as $40-50 for a half ounce of reggie(aka regular weed) and now I buy an 1/8th for the same price but it is dank(pretty good weed). It is all relative to geographic area and the going price for that area. So that's $100 an ounce of reggie and $400 an ounce for dank which is a huge difference.

Let's just assume that the news isn't bullshitting and he was running (or close to running) the operation, so not only does he have a tidy little nest egg (and assuming the cops only found 6K in cash at the house, he has it tucked away someplace good for retrieval later), BUT he gets everything expunged after a couple of years for being a minor. Scot-free, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaposer Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ah yes, the wonders of drug cop math.Yep. The $3mil in weed growing is figured as if every plant was full grown, ready to harvest, weighed wet, and priced at full street value. The $20k/mo he was supposedly making was gross sale price at end user street value, yet he surely was dealing to his end level sellers for much less. I don't believe he was a "kingpin". He was no more than a high school age middle dealer. I'm sure most ex potheads knew a guy just like him. The $6k in cash was every bit of money had had made from it over a year that didn't get blown on twinkies and taco bell. He doesn't have a hundreds of thousands stashed away somewhere. Credit goes to the older guys who ran the grow operations for pinning it all back on him. He has the least risk of any kind of long term jail sentence. Let him take the fall.

Gixxus Christ! Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hard to pin it back on some kid when you have 200 plants growing in a warehouse you leased in your own name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
