Another tidbit I noticed from this article...the 1000 plants valued at $400,000... that's only $400 a plant. Even *I* can do better than that! Don't they typically use a figure closer to $2000 a plant? In which case, this should have been reported as a $2 million bust...Wonder why the discrepancy?

maybe and huge maybe; it was a sog grow which is 3 plants p/sq foot, which would explain the high numbers. in this method it's the sheer number of plants that yeilds you, at 1-1.25z per. again this is totally a guess i don't know any of the facts. its a pretty old school way of doing it and most people I hear of steere clear of it, high high risk to reward situation.. :/
or maybe, they use a lower dollar value for street prices? (why!?)
neither of these would account for why the ME sherriffs didn't go with the higher number to boost their own success numbers, still weird.
good eye blue, i don't know why they went with such a low dollar value..

I have always thought that the LEO calculations of street value per plant were painfully overblown...That's why it struck me as very odd about this one. This one is actually probably closer to reality...think about it. Most "home op" growers average 1-2 oz per plant. At the average caregiver rate of $200-$220 per ounce, the $400 per plant calcuation passes the "reality" test, unlike the $2k per plant they typically report.
I'm thinking Ryder knew somebody important...

5 will get you 10 that 80% of the "plants" were unrooted cuts that won't count against the guy at trial. 200 plants * $2,000 = $400k.

[FONT=Georgia, Century, Times, serif]Good article about the states trying to get the feds to back off med. patients. Rep. Deborah Sanderson was one of the signatures on the letter
