I would have much rather read where they got another pervert, murderer, or a rapist. Put our tax money out for some real police work.

Times are changing,there was a time that a new GMC pickup was $1870 with a spare tire and heater included,pound of california weed $160,cheaper than flying today.A recent article from a popular mag says latest brands bring up to $600 per oz so figure.There was a time when I was a teenager that gas and movie tickets for two was less than a buck,don't try that today.

Havent yall figured it out yet that the govt. has no clue of realistic numbers. $1,600 for a pound of weed, unemployment rate is under 7%, the economy shows signs of increase, the interest rates are at a low............... none of these are the truth. The govt. chooses to lie to us ( I know, it was a shock to me also) about correct numbers because they want all of us to think they are doing a great job. They think they have us convinced they are exceptional politicians............ They have me convinced, convinced that they are all idiots.

When cops come up with this type of math, it really shows their ignorance. They should not even give a value if they don't know, which in this case, they obviously do not.

If you call a bag a lid you could be from the over the hill gang. I think when I was in the military in the day a lb was 45 dollars. As you came into Ft. Hoot you could see a cloud of smoke over the area. Oh to be young again and carefree. We have over 5000 non violent people in prison in Arkansas on drug convictions. Wonder what that cost. Make it legal, just pot, And help the state relieve cost.

In looking at the picture it's clear to me that he was just creating a new age hair gel and the MJ mixture was intended to add that perfect scent and sheen. This new hair product is called hairyjuana and you can tell he has already used some of it. Then if he gets a little stressed in jail he can cut off a few locks and smoke his own hair for that perfect end of the day relaxer. Besides have you ever seen anyone who looked more innocent than this solid citizen? Give him a break. He was just trying to bring a new product to market. Probably subsidized by the Government in any case as a new green industry. You've got to admire the guy.

People PLEASE! Right now you can get a Lb for around 700 to 800 bucks. And exellent weed too. The cops always jack the value up so it looks like they really did something. And remember, for every Lb they get, 200 Lbs get through. What a BIG waste of time and taxpayer dollars!!!!

I agree charlie! It was a better grade to smoke the too, not as harsh. And I don't remember having to hide it in hair gel! If we had it, we smoked it and didn't mind sharing. If you got caught, oh well!

Wow 6 grand for a pound and a half these days.I used to buy lids for 10 bucks, 16 oz. per pound, 120 per pound. anything over 120 bucks was profit or smoking material.But I agree that was the early 70's.......OHHH the days.
