In the northeast and midwest sections of the US, today, the average price of marijuana runs from $700 - $2000 per pound, while in California the market jumps to $2000 - $6000 per pound.

But it remained a tiny fraction of the cost of pure cocaine in the United States: roughly $17,000 per pound among major distributors, $48,000 per pound at the retail level.

· Prices for methamphetamine vary throughout different regions of the United States.
· At the distribution level, prices range from $3,500 per pound in parts of California and Texas

so at $2000 per lb for the pot (lowest price), 17K/lb for the coke, and $3,500 for the meth you’re talking $76 million, $45.9 million and $234,000 respectively or $122,134,000 total. Check the cops at the door.

There is no way that it was 38,000 lbs of Cali's finest. It had to be mexican commercial bud. $300 a pound at the very most with that much quantity. more like $100 a lb.

17k for a lb of c is also too high. could be about 13k tho.

I only know this from internet research
