True not everyone wants to deal with the hassles of growing bud. So they rather just buy it, quick and easy. And where the hell does a pound go for $5000?

Lots of places! Anywhere with a lack of quality and/or quantity. My area calls for up to $400/oz of quality so $5K isnt unrealistic.

That sounds high, $3-3200 sounds about right.

Shit, for most of my smoking life I never grew. Thank goodness for commercial growers who supply most people. Most people would never risk a day in jail to grow weed. Not that important to them. Luckily I always had good connections, but I always marvel at the anti dealer/commercial grower platitudes. WHo did those people buy from before they grew?

It sucks going to jail. Too bad for those guys.

Around here you would be crazy to pay more than $2300.00 for a pound of primo. Usually a pound of really good bone dry goes for $2000.00 to $2200.00. Exceptional stuff that only comes around in a blue moon fetch in the $2300.00 area, sometimes may be a little more, but not much.

On another note, I really think putting down commercial growers whom do their job responsibly and safely is kind of silly. Everyone here (okay, most anyways) started smoking stuff that was purchased. If you never had that opprotunity, you probably wouldn't be enjoying that nice home grown you grow today. Some growers are in it only to produce as much as possible without taking into account the quality. This is the stuff I steer clear of. Other growers you can see spent the time and cared enough to go for more quality with lack of production. This shows me that there was more than just dollar signs in their eyes and a love for the plant. This is the commercial you should seek out. Some poeple can't grow period, should they go without? I think not. Just my 2 cents.

Why dont these guys just gets real jobs? I dont understand these stupid people....there's no such thing as easy more anymore unless you've got a white collar job.

You've obviously never worked a commercial grow before if you think it's easy money. Be thankful there are people out there that take the risk, but just as anything else there are stupid people that go at it the wrong way. I guess that's why you hear of them getting busted.

I couldn't get the video & I was born in Highland Park, and have friends in Northfield AND Chicago Heights, and the worded story was vague. Did they show the guys? Were they at least 40? Otherwise they would just be kids of folks I know.

This sucks. Illinois congress is preparing to vote on Medical Cannabis, that's why they are hitting on 'em.

ONe kid was 27

well these gus were stupid, keeping hard drugs and ganja in the same premises, even if 5 grams of brown was there percy(not that inprobable its not much) but that acid was 4 sale id reckon.... these guys are not weed people, theyre drug dealer people.... Nothing wrng with commercial growers at all, someones gotta grow the shit for ppl who cant, but if you gonna grow commercially, ou have a responsibility to keep up the quality, flush, dont use harsh chem pesticides and such sell for a fair price, and if the quality of ur crop goes down the price goes down(not up).....things like that seperate the real commercial grower from the drug dealer........ These guys were obviously criminal drug dealers and so i have no sympathy, especially iftheyre telling tales...if theyre informing then u could say that the bust was karma doing a pre-emptive strike lol

what i love is this guys bail is according to one the papers set at 2 million.

Earlier today I read about the only woman on the fbi's most wanted list was arrested. She was wanted for murder of a rival gang member, and might be involved in 5 other murders and up to 50 other shootings. Her bail as set at 250,000.

Hell she will probably get get out before him. Hooray for justice

those two busts u linked to happened two weeks ago, the link he posted last page was about a bust that went down on april 8th...which makes it look like the original clowns rolled on someone...although in the most recent article it makes mention of them stealing power as well so i guess it is unclear...if i had to guess i think the guy got popped on his own for stealing power but what do i know...

Chicago police seize $1.1 million in marijuana

Tribune staff report
Published April 8, 2007, 11:57 PM CDT

Kevin M. Usewicz, of the 4600 block of North Kasson Avenue, was charged with production of 50 or more plants of cannabis and manufacturing and delivering 5 kilograms or more of cannabis, both felonies...

Usewicz, who was also charged with theft of services from Commonwealth Edison, a misdemeanor, was arrested at 2:20 p.m., police said. One other person was being sought in connection with the seizure...



they were dumb to have 300 hits of cid and H at the growhouse for sure, no doubt about it...IMO their plant counts were too high too but u know that's up to them...

in the vid it said somebody narked on them via a tip and the piggies staked the place out...

ok i agree but the other two could not be handled by CPD narcotics b/c they weren't in chicago proper...CCSD handled the other two cause they were outside the city limits...i think its hard to say whether they were related or not at this point...

its also unclear as to the nature of their 'tip' or if the guys were stealing power or what...

:yeahthats ...I have absolutely no pity for commercial growers......don't care for them at all. tuttlebudd is right when he says they give homegrowers a bad reputation...

You want to make easy money? Prepare to pay the piper.


You have no pity for commercial growers? So you would just quit smoking altogether if you could not grow? Marijuana is marijuana -whether for personal use or for bulk sale-. Not all commercial growers do so for money. Many provide medicine to the sick and others grow commercially so pot smokers (like you) can have smoke readily available if you can't grow. Some commercial growers are greedy -there's no dought- but to make a blanket statement like that is just ridiculous.

dude i don't know what to say, CPD is not going to make a bust in highland park or chicago heights...CCSD is going to defer to the CPD narc unit in the city limits...
