Lincoln deputies seize 345 pounds of marijuana | thenewsstar.com | The News Star
One of the few seizures that does not over value the cannabis confiscated.
345 pounds @ 16 ounces = 5520 ounces
if taxed @ $50.00 an ounce = $276,000 in revenue for the state.
$276,000 @ 55 weeks = $15,180,000 a year for the state.
$15,180,000 @ 50 states = $759,000,000 a year.
And this is a low conservative figure, I'm willing to bet that it would actually be 4-5 times higher.
