110 lbs stocked and more growing holy shit. Cops are claiming its a $750k street value? ~15$ a gram in Colorado on the street when they are flooded with pot? Sounds like what they would get selling retail with taxes.
In the uk if you get caught near the end they weigh the whole plant while its still wet and value at £15 a g! Sent from my SM-J330FN using Grasscity Forum mobile app
