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

      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.

          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.

                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.
