CANNABIS seized from an Adelaide northern suburbs property yesterday had the potential to equate to more than 67,000 street deals.

 

Operation Avatar police officers seized the packaged drugs valued at more than $1.3 million from a Cheltenham home. It is believe the home is linked to an outlaw motorcycle gang.

 

More than 32kg of cannabis was discovered at the Colston St home about 11am (ACST) and police said they were "pleased" to find the drugs before they were sold.

 

A 41-year-old Cheltenham man was arrested and charged with the possession of cannabis for sale, and for possession of fireworks.

 

Detective Inspector Graham Goodwin of the Avatar police anti-bikie section said the large quantity of drugs was dangerous to the community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"It's always threatening when a large amount of drugs like this is on the streets and what we are taking out from the community is the potential of 67,000 drug deals," Det-Insp Goodwin said.

 

"It's pleasing to see a large quantity of a drug removed from the community." Fireworks and two firearms were also found.

 

Meanwhile, Holden Hill police found more than $100,000 worth of stolen property at a house and unit in Kilburn.

 

A large amount of a substance police believe is methylamphetamine was also seized. Jewellery, electrical and musical equipment, clothing, tools and ammunition was seized at the two properties.

 

Three Kilburn men, aged 33, 45 and 44, were charged with property and serious drug offences and remanded in custody.

 

 

So whats this, 67000 "deals" from 32kg, Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt that work out to about 0.4g per 'deal'? :peace: :peace:

This reminds me of a bust they did a while ago and they found a few pounds (less than 10) and said that it worked out to be approx 600,000 joints! $800,000 worth, they said!

 

Ive got a few problems with this kind of thing. It makes the small time grower out to be som insanly huge drug lord whos sole purpose in life is get 600,000 people hooked! when in reality it was prolly some stoners perso stash!

 

2ndly, even if this guy was selling id like to see what 600,000 joints rolled from 10 pounds looks like. I never knew they got so small! (who sells joints anyways! Ill sell it to you by the cone!)

 

And lastly, WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET THIER PRICES FROM!!!! That weed must have been fucking amazing for that kind of money! If the cannabis plant was extinct and that was the last stash on earth then maybe someone would pay that much but for christs sake! I wish they would stop the propagander!

 

I had a few mates grow back home (ACT) and when they got busted they were 'drug barrons' and were running "an underground cannabis factory", supplying the underworld with drugs to peddle to kiddies"

Jesus Christ! They were growing like 15 plants!
