I know a guy pretty well who got involved in a grow op. They had a house rigged up nicely. 8 HUGE plants, producing about 3-4 pounds per plant.
Thats 24 pounds minimum. These guys were paid out at $800 or $900 per pound - I cant remember really. They definitely were NOT getting rich off this. Especially since they shared the profits between 4 people.. and they paid a shitload of cash out upfront for expenses..
But where does that 6 billion figure come from? Thats like 1.5 MILLION pounds of weed sold at $4000 per pound... no way.

Well at about $300 an ounce, 16 ounces in a pound, that would make it just about $4800 a pound, actually people who buy more in bulk get a price break. If your friends were selling it that cheap I assume they sold it more in bulk?
8 plants is nothing, trust me. I betcha that figure of 6 billion is not too far off. Marijuana is a HUGE industry, its a shame they don't legalize it all over to take advantage of the money people are willing to dish out for it.
Seriously!
