you're right. Boring rainy morning for me obviously
In the northeast and midwest sections of the US, today, the average price of marijuana runs from $700 - $2000 per pound, while in California the market jumps to $2000 - $6000 per pound.

But it remained a tiny fraction of the cost of pure cocaine in the United States: roughly $17,000 per pound among major distributors, $48,000 per pound at the retail level.

· Prices for methamphetamine vary throughout different regions of the United States.
· At the distribution level, prices range from $3,500 per pound in parts of California and Texas

so at $2000 per lb for the pot (lowest price), 17K/lb for the coke, and $3,500 for the meth you’re talking $76 million, $45.9 million and $234,000 respectively or $122,134,000 total. Check the cops at the door.
