That looks like 50 lbs of weed.

Could you imagine just leaving 40 lbs of weed in a closet like that?

I hope they contacted the authorities about that 30 lbs of weed.

The last thing anyone needs when renting is to be responsible for 20 lbs of weed.

    Put the part about contacting the authorities about 20 lbs at the end, and you have the perfect joke.

    What 20 lbs? They just caught a guy with a few ounces on him...

    Are those all drugs? I thought they were just clothes in those vacuum pack space saver things until I saw the one with weed.

    Edit: Oh I guess it's all weed, just some of the packaging isn't totally see through.

    What am I looking at here? I'm guessing that's weed?

    I’ll need a couple bags to test and make sure. Maybe 3-4 to get enough to determine 100%. I’ll get the results back to you in a couple of months.

    I feel like even if Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg worked together on it, they would have a tough time going through 50 pounds of weed in a couple months.

    Like even if they're crazy and they each go through an ounce a day, that's a little less than a pound every two weeks, Which would mean that this is at least a two-year supply of weed for both Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg at the same time.

    Back in pre-legit days, one could get paid "in product" for a few months' work, and even at local market rates (~$1.1k/lb) could improve those wages 10x — if you knew how to get it to NYC, etc. (something something goldfish bulk boxes are foil-lined something something overnight shipping something something "holiday" care package cough)

    People don't shoot each other over 50lbs of weed like that. Heroin maybe. But at this level, you're acting more professional

    This reminded me of a story that happened when I was still in the Navy.

    I was stationed in San Diego and I had a friend who had gotten out and became a sheriff's deputy, in a nearby city, and he offered to let me do a ride along with him for a the day.

    There were a couple of things that happened that changed my opinion of him and cops in general (I am 99% ACAB now though).

    Towards the end of the day, someone made a call that someone was smoking meth in a motel room. My friend was called in to assist the cop already there.

    We got there and he had me stand back until he waved me in a few minutes later.

    I walked up and the OP cop had, what looked like, two skater types sitting on the curb just outside their motel room. Still teenagers.

    My friend said he needed me to help toss the room, looking for drugs while the other cop questioned them.

    Going into the room, my friend asked the kids to do him a favor and just tell him where the drugs were. They told him it was behind one of the nightstand drawers.

    Sure enough it was there (sandwich bag of pot), but my friend said we still needed to search, just in case there really was meth, or something else illegal.

    While we searched, I could hear the cop question the kids. They were from a town over and just got paid. They both lived at home and just needed a place to smoke.

    In the room was a new skate board deck, some Sonic, and an Xbox with some games. No meth. They were begging for them not to call their parents and I just thought these kids were fucked.

    We finished searching and came out, my friend gave the pot to the other cop.

    This part is what blew my mind.

    My friend looks at the kids and says, "Let me guess. You were both smoking and some guy smelled the pot, knocked on your door and asked to have some and you told him to fuck off?"

    At no point did the kids say anything about someone knocking on their door.

    The kids looked flabbergasted and stammered, "How did you know?", to which my friend said that was who probably called in, saying someone was smoking meth.

    They then took the handcuffs off and my friend then says, "Next time, don't answer the door."

    The other cop then GIVES THEM THE POT BACK, and we all walk away.

    I was sure those poor kids were fucked and I said as much. My friend then said, "I don't give a shit about pot. Kids don't break into Grandma's house and rob her so they can get money to buy pot.

    Yeah, ACAB because the "good" ones don't stand up to the bad ones, but some do do the right thing, at least sometimes. In this case, arresting them would have created a situation where they're much worse off, and they end up doing more crime. Meanwhile, they didn't do any harm and just wanted to hang out peacefully by themselves. Our criminal "justice" system creates more criminals than it removes.

    By assuming this is their only site, anyone'd be walking into a world of risk that isn't worth it. "Squatting" on multiple vacant bldgs is merely the uninformed perspective of the maint. crew that had no idea what agreements'd been in place for however long before they stumbled across them - nor any reason to think different, let's be honest. The chance that this is not an isolated, unconnected series of sites is non-zero, and the risk to the associated organization is not something I'd wish on pretty much anyone. Be smart. Don't underestimate the situation — especially in that industry. 🤌🏼

    I guess it depends on where you're at? Those look like ounces not pounds, honestly not that much value even if they were pounds, especially if you're in a place where it's legal.

    Maybe quarter pounds. Still tens of thousands of dollars in a legal state.

    Usually (at least in Britain) they'd be packaged into 9 ounce bags (otherwise known as a 9 bar) for distribution to dealers. It's sold by the kg on the international market and ounces on the British market and 9 Oz is approximately 250g so it's a handy way to convert from metric to imperial when selling to dealers.

    Thats pretty interesting, does Britain use ounces generally? I thought that was a US thing.

    The drug trade is American, they also use pints for beer though

  • No, the drug trade is truly international. You can't buy an 1/8 in the Netherlands for example. But dealers will always use whatever unit their clientele is comfortable with. But, dealers in the states also use the metric system if they're buying from places like Mexico or Colombia.

    The United States consumes a lot of drugs but there's almost no export from the USA to anywhere except possibly Canada.

  • Replace two of the bags with oregano and tip off the police. The police report x kg of weed seized instead of x-½ because they want to look good. Dealers believe all is accounted for and you have 2 whole 9 bars to enjoy at your leisure.

    What do you do with so much weed if you can't sell it? There's some preservation method? Like weed jam or weed pickles?

    Make weed butter and leave it in the freezer. Use it to make mind blowing edibles whenever you want. Keeps for about a year.

    Butter kept in the freezer can be kept indefinitely.

    Sorta. Anything fatty tends to pick up flavors from the environment. Now, in the cold, those chemical reactions are slowed down, but they're not stopped. If you leave it there for a while, it'll pick up off flavors. Still generally safe to eat, but you won't like it.

    Store it in an airtight container and you won't have that problem.

    How airtight is airtight? Cheap Ziploc bags or Tupperware won't be enough in the long run. Maybe if you used a pressure sealed preservatives jar. Those will need to be heated up in a pressure cooker, so butter will melt and reconstitute.

    It gets dry and unpleasant to smoke, but the "quality" is actual drug doesn't really go bad or expire.

    It can go moldy, though. Always check your weed with a UV light, especially if it’s not from a legal dispensary, you don’t wanna smoke mold.

    like the other person said, concentrates. That's why concentrates are so big in the cannabis market, fresh flower doesn't keep very long or sell at the kind of volume that edibles or pens made from concentrates do

    Joints (fingers, elbows), lower back. Relieves pain and symptoms. Plus it's just made with coconut oil so you can actually bake with it, lol.

    One thing to note is that when you make it the smell is pungent. Your neighbours will know and your house may smell for a while.

    There are many websites with instructions on how to make it.

    Thanks. I made some butter once, I don't remember it being smelly. It was a small quantity though. And I didn't use coconut oil but actual butter, although I doubt this would change anything.

    I appreciate that it is at least mostly organized on the shelves. It adds a level of professionalism.
