The Story:
Everyone remembers that Medical Marijuana patient/activist that got arrested about a week ago right, Pierre Werner, 33, well he was released after prosecutors failed to file a criminal complaint. So at least he won't have any problems getting his medication now. Anyway here's the good stuff, Metro Police reported Thursday that the street value of the marijuana this guy had was around $750,000 and I'm about to show you why it's very likely that someone just made that number up, maybe as a joke. Because putting someone's life in jeopardy is hilarious...

The Math:
Pierre Werner was arrested June 15th, Metro officers have said that Werner was found in possession of 121 marijuana plants and 10 pounds of finished marijuana. Ok, well I don't know the price by pound, but I do know the price by ounce. So we're going to cut the sellable marijuana down into ounces, 16 ounces in a pound right? Of course there is, I Googled it! So 16oz x 10 = 160oz, wow that was so hard. Now an average ounce cost on average around $200 - $300, but im going to give Metro the benefit of the doubt, big time, and we're going to pretend an ounce costs $500. So 160oz x $500 = $80,000. Hmm yeah that's real close to $750,000. Now I know some people are saying what about the plants, he had 121 plants too! Well once again I will give metro the benefit of the doubt and say that ALL these plants were mature and harvestable, even though I'm sure they weren't. The average yield from a plant, according to the DEA "Mean average yield per plant (11.25 square foot density): 4 oz" Ok so 4oz times 121 plants is 484oz of smokeable goodness. Now here comes the fun part, 484oz times $500 (huge benefit of the doubt again) comes out to $242,000, lets add that to the sellable marijuana he already had shall we. $242,000 plus $80,000 is $322,000. Now, that's just simple math something that I guess isn't required at the metro police station, it's very easy to see that the number placed in the newspaper $750,000 was umm, what's the word I'm looking for... Bullshit. Just my two cents.

The Truth:
Also to seal the deal, Pierre Werner has said how much he sells the marijuana for, 100$ an ounce to about 50 medical marijuana patients with a license. Wow hold the phone, I just realized something while typing that last sentence. In total Werner had 644oz of marijuana, IF it ALL was harvestable. 644oz divided by 50 people comes out to 12.88. I did this to see if he had the legal amount per person, but your only allowed to have one ounce right, check this out though. Really you're allowed to have, "One ounce of usable, three mature plants, and four immature ones." Remember how many ounces come from an average mature plant, 4oz. Four ounces times three plants is 12oz, plus one ounce is 13oz that each person is legally allowed to have and he had 12.88 per person so it turns out he had under the legal limit for each of those 50 people in his possession at the time of arrest. Damn I'm good... Well... Good at basic arithmetic at least.
