Five keys of pot is worth $3 million?

~$65k here if you buy by the gram from the medical dispensaries, OTD taxes paid.

For reference, 5 kilos of gold at 1250/oz troy would be ~200k or ~225k if using oz avdp

Someone is using monkey math.

that's Illinois politicians and media. Usually the news reports a arsenal of weapons was found and in reality it was four guns.

An M2 was recovered in a drug bust in NY maybe 15-20 years ago. IIRC they traced it back to a National Guard armory theft back in the late 1960's.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one has a similar story.

For the record, I don't touch the stuff. I also have no issue with people that do smoke.

My issue is that you get a sham state card for $300 a year and can possess it, yet not be protected by the state in a lot of professions. Make it Federally legal or illegal and enforce uniformly across all jurisdictions.

sounds like he lived in a 17,000  square foot mansion  on 30 acres of land. Would hate to be the swat team approaching the house in a bearcat and have a false sense of security. more details below.

Seems to be all the rage with Mexican cartels.  Recently saw a video of a cartel turf shoot out...pew, pew, pew...then a white flatbed rolls in, Ma Duece and gunner on back.  That rig settled the argument.

I'll bet that M2 is on a form 4 and the guy paid for it with his hard earned money.

Nobody says a 'kilo of pot'.

That thing looks in good order though. Semi or not.

Couldn't be a legally owned transferable in Illinois anyway. No machine guns or silencers allowed.

Most likely semi auto, but it could be double super felony full auto.

Something sexy about a M2 sitting next to a cash counting machine.

I have seen the Mexican dirt weed metered by the kilo on television.

A doper with an M2? I wonder if it operates reliably? I doubt he knows how to set timing and headspace. I've met very few soldiers that could do it unless it was their primary weapon.

Don't they always after drug busts?
Break it down into the smallest quantities sold and then pick the highest street value possible.
