I mean, you'll need to test one bag just to confirm what it is right?

What would I do? Contemplate where the fuck I went so ethically wrong in my life that I became a landlord, that's what.

Don't do it, they can count the bags.

2 hours is enough to watch No Country for Old Men.

I thought it was cocaine at first and I was thinking End Of Watch

Man I have been too destitute to buy any for a while and this photo got me drooling a bit fr

I thought the white ones were powder and I felt a lot less conflicted. but I see now that it looks lumpy, like more weed

The sheer amount of it makes me think that tampering with it will get you in trouble with some bad people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Until 1971 our currency was not decimal. Britain has undergone an extremely lengthy process of metrication that lasted from the 60s to the 90s and to this day people still use imperial units for measuring driving distance, beer and cider, body weight/height, horse height. It should be pointed out that imperial units are not the same as American units.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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.

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the kind of people who own that much, or even let on that I'd seen it.
