First legal harvest of marijuana fueling gray market for pot in US capital

[Sforza]

Welcome to the first crop of legal pot in America's capital - where residents may grow and possess marijuana but are still forbidden to sell it.

In recent weeks, a small army of mostly novice gardeners who took up growing when the District of Columbia legalized marijuana in February have begun to roll, pack and smoke the joints, bongs and bowls of their labor. By one estimate, they have grown upwards of 45 kg with a street value north of a half-million dollars - far more than most of these amateur cultivators are likely to consume on their own.

Only 45 kilos and it is worth $500,000? Everything is too damn expensive in Washington DC.

Not as bad as Lake County (wherever that is). A recent raid there netted 20 lbs of marijuana worth $510,000...

I wonder what they were smoking????
