"Canadian growers produce cannabis plants with powerful buds, often using sophisticated hydroponic cultivation techniques. While the term “BC Bud” literally refers to the bud of the female cannabis plant grown in British Columbia, the term has become synonymous in the popular media for high-potency Canadian-grown marijuana. Such marijuana has a THC 1 content ranging from 15 percent to as much as 25 percent, far more potent than the naturally grown cannabis plants of the 1970s, which had a THC content of only 2 percent. Marijuana traffickers in Canada employ the most current methods of growing cannabis. Growers isolate and clone selected female plants for sinsemilla production, and they use high-tech equipment to electronically regulate temperature, light, and nutrients in hydroponic greenhouses that enable them to grow up to six marijuana crops per year. According to the Canadian Government, a cannabis grower operating a 50-plant hydroponic operation that harvests three crops of 15-percent potency can realize an annual profit of Can$225,000."

Getting $225,000 per annum for 50 plants is pushing it a bit, I'd say. you'd have to have lots of lights and huge plants to get that much $$. The cops and the media always exaggerate that stuff. - Mon, 20 Dec 2004 1:55pm

they still think weed is all sold by the joint....
more like $42,000 - 84,000 for three average crops and that is if you know what you are doing and also have good conections to get rid of the shit.
most people relise that it's hard to obtain those numbers and would only see profits of $24,000.

this all only a guesstimate.... do your own math at home kids. - Mon, 20 Dec 2004 2:07pm

Well, mathematically it would break down like this

Basising it on "oldschool" pricing of $5 a doobie, and 3 doobies/gram.... There are 452.2 grams/pound

$6780 is what is turns out to be

Average street price for a pound is $2000-2400

But then again, who is BC actually buys a doobie any more?

5 bucks for a .33 doob? yikes. i would consider a joint to be half a gram but if the pot is 15 percent plus then i guess thats fair enough. - Mon, 20 Dec 2004 5:33pm

The DEA isn't telling us anything we didn't already know. What a waste of money, and you can bet it was BIG money.

Canada should disregard anything related to drug policy brought forth from the US.

PM Martin would like to tip-toe around and decriminalize, but truly, fully legal status is the only sane choice. I wont hold my toke while waiting for that, but whether you smoke or not, the earth is filled with more pressing issues of the day... - Mon, 27 Dec 2004 1:57am
