Nearly every weed bust I've ever read about weighed the fucking dirt along with the weed, then multiplied the total grams by what one gram of the highest priced weed goes for in order to say "the plants had a street value of $2.2 million".

Busting weed is the biggest cop racket going. Cops ought to be ashamed for busting weed.
