Driver arrested with $5 million in pot
104 pounds of pot, which police estimated to have a street value of $4.7 million.
According to my rough math, that’s over $45,000 a pound or $2,824.52 per ounce. That makes it about three times as valuable as gold.
Hmm…. When I was in college, the good stuff cost about $50 an ounce.
Assuming, of course, that Naperville police aren’t just making stuff up. They wouldn’t do that, would they?…
[Thanks, Nick]
Correction: The arrest was in Ohio — it appears that the bizarre math came from Ohio state troopers, not Naperville police.
