By my estimate 500,000 200 !bs Sized divided by 730 days is $684 a day. Plus the street value of the flower is at best 1000 !b for an additional 200k but that’s not cash. That’s the offset.

Six people were arrested as part of the takedown of a massive Mary Jane-selling network that spanned four counties of the Garden State, authorities announced Monday.
The two-year investigation started in December 2023 when detectives looked into the illegal sale of flowers in Bergen County, according to a statement from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.
As the lengthy investigation continued, the office learned that the scale of the criminal network reached beyond their jurisdiction and included Essex, Passaic and Morris counties, officials said. Prosecutors in those counties then joined with the DEA in the investigation.
On Nov. 19, detectives from multiple agencies executed search warrants at the homes of multiple alleged conspirators and other properties related to the investigation, the office said.
Investigators seized more than $500,000, more than 200 !bs of Mary Jane , various items of dug paraphernalia, and hundreds of additional gardening products packaged for distribution, authorities said.
