Two Billion Marijuana Plants Seized & Burned!

[Hazy Lady]

yeah, I doubt it too. they just got tired of counting!
The story says: 4.6 million square meters of land were under cultivation. How big is that in acres or square miles?

Here you go Skip
4.6 million (square meters) = 1 136.68475 acres or
4.6 million (square meters) = 1.77606993 square miles

I'm not sure, cause I'm not a "farmer on a ranch" but does anybody know what the logistics would be to plant 2 BILLION plants?

Hemp seeds apparently weigh about 11.5 grams / 1000 seeds (Finola).

So to start off you'd need 23000 kilograms (50000 pounds) of seeds. Assuming all germinate.

"Assuming all germinate" LOL Thats a lot a seeds! thanks love?.

Lazyman- Luckily,nobody was arrested. and it wasn't planted in the most "legal" of places by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[Alienate420]

Buncha effing math nerdz here...

 

[Painfull]

What a waste to just burn all that mj. They could have given it to people who are sick.

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

bullshit...

 

[resin_lung]

"math nerdz"

LOL I Thank GOD somebody can do it!

 

[Lazyman]

"math nerdz"

LOL I Thank GOD somebody can do it!

AMEN brother! I do fine when sober, but for some reason I have a very hard time with math when impaired.

 

[Marshmello]

It doesn't even SOUND legit.

Are we missing the point?

Are we missing the point?

The first thing that comes to my mind when I read that was Price Fixing.

I'm willing to bet we are talking about markets and price control.


Do ya think? How could such large farms be a surprise to anyone in the age of spy satellites?


It's always about the Money.. Must be a surplus of cannabis or they are expecting to raise the price or trying to..

In the USA during the Great depression Milk producers poured milk out on the ground even while people were going without food because of prices.

There probably isn't any subsidizing to these farmers so burning the crops is probably good for the soil and the profits.

I think I would skip their hash next year for all the petro that was used.. I assume it was petro ( gasoline or such )

Just my

Jack

Edit

Operations are under way to catch the people in relation to the raids.

LOL sounds like the Mexican National grow-ops here in California.. They knew they were coming long before they got there.. How can they not have caught anyone?

They found two tons of Hash nearby That's not a "Grow" That's an industry..

See my point on Price fixing? We may be seeing a Glut in the market and a drop in consumption in relationship to the Global economic situation.

 

[ojd]

what a shame
that is 1 hell of a crop

and to think that hash could of been in my pipe in the near future, bastards

great find skip

peace

 

[BENJI]

Wow...I bet those soldiers are still baked...hehe

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

I have a hard time even buying that there was even 2 million plants. 2 billion outdoor plants would supply enough weed for the whole globe for like a month. It would supply every U.S. citizen with like 8 plants worth of weed.

I doubt there was 2 tons of hash either. I say 200 pounds, maybe.

 

[ddrew]

The haul was discovered after gendarmerie forces received a tip in the eastern province of Van. Gendarmerie raided the field which was owned by 41 villagers and found nearly 2 billion stalks and roots of cannabis planted in the field.

It took a tip to discover 2 billion plants?
What else is over there that these genius's haven't discovered yet?
Stolen blimps parked in people's yards?
Cops-we never noticed that giant stolen blimp in their yard.

 

[ddrew]

The person who made the tip gets my vote for Narc of the century
Turning in 2 billion plants, what an ass

 

[Sleepy]

wacky exchange rates??

wacky exchange rates??

2 billion plants @ $20 billion = $10/plant . . . ouch.

how come our cops value each plant at $1000.00 or more??

what can you buy in Turkey for $10.00??

He probably got like a 300 dollar reward too, what a moron that guy is.




As an aside, woudn't it make more sense to just till all the plants under and let it fert the land instead of burning all of it? that's a ton of pollution and a complete stripping of the land of nutes, seems like a really stupid ass way to do it.

 

[Jenn]

2 Billion...classic

 

[ndnguy]

2 BILLION, only 41 people working it , no way they could plant that many plants it would cover the whole country of Turkey lol 2 MILLION maybe, to plant 2 billion plants with 41 people it would take about two years,lol/.

 

[EllieGrows]

Something is fishy here.
