Big drug haul

[boulder]

POLICE uncovered more than $100,000 worth of cannabis plants that were elaborately disguised at a Wauchope factory bay.

Port Macquarie detectives seized 53 hydroponically grown cannabis plants worth $132,500 on Friday during a search of the Commerce St bay.

Police also searched a Eucalypt Close home at Wauchope, but no drugs were found.

Police allege the drugs had been disguised by cardboard boxes.

A 43-year-old Wauchope man was charged with the cultivation of a prohibited plant greater than an indictable quantity.

The man was bailed to appear at Port Macquarie Local Court today.

A 43-year-old Wauchope man was charged with the cultivation of a prohibited plant greater than an indictable quantity.

Anyone know exactly what that indictable magic number actually is state to state?

I think its over 50, If I'm right then this guy was a complete dickhead to grow 53 plants.

 

Anyway how the fuck do you disguise a plant as a cardboard box??? why would you do that??? where they outdoor hydro plants??? or indoors??? woulda been pretty suss to see a bunch of cardboard boxes with big bright lights above them.

 

$132,500

 

police estimate that, or thats how much they got for it?? I thought that was a wank when I first heard it, $132,500 worth of pot, but thinking about it, it'd only take like 15000w and a big shed to be getting around 100k per crop, that is fucking crazy, some people need to grow 1000's of acres of whatever to make that much per year.

g'day; 50 plants = $100,000.

each plant is deemed as worth $2000 whether it be seedling or mature plant. in nsw.

Yep 50 plants in NSW is deemed as supply and the quantity is an indictable amount, 250 plants is commercial and means a trip to district court instead of local court. The size of the plants does not mater 1 plant 14 foot high will get a much less penalty than 250 seedling that have just sprouted. The most common penalty imposed for cultivation in the local court is a fine $400+ or good behaviour bond, if you go to district court most likely 1-2years in jail and community service.

yeah exactly sols, thats why I'm wondering why they say $132000 and not $102000. and the fact its entirely sane and quite easy to actually grow that much pot.
