    these street value estimates that are given all always so absured. Why is it that they always overly dramatise the numbers?

  2. Jason says:

    That’s bernudas police and government not knowing sh&t about anything!!!

  3. StreetSmart says:

    The estimates are broken down to the lowest street value in size. Example I bring in the drugs by the pound then sale wholesale in pounds, someone else will than sell in quarter pounds or onces, the next dealer will sell in quarters, the next corner hustler would by a quater and sell $50 pokes. You see if a smuggler brings in 1 pound with a whole value of $8000 by time you break it down sell it by the ounce than the next dealer sells by the quarter and the last dealer sells it by the $50 pokes total profit can equal $42,000…………do the math!

    • StreetSmart says:

      $44,800 if the dealer doesnt smoke which they usually do! From that $8000 investment; you see thats why the weak minded take the risk!

      STOP SNITCHIN LOL

  4. StreetSmart says:

    street value if drugs were sold by .5grams $50 per poke!

    340 grams mutiplied by 2 = 680 multiplied by $50 = $34000

  5. onion says:

    Yup couldn’t agree more, they take the amount break it down to half a gram and say each half is worth $50

    So 340g *2= 680 , 680 * 50= $34,000

    A little over the top, it assumes that you’re (the suspect) breaking it right down into these pieces to sell. It’s almost like the police stopping you for speeding and rounding up to the nearest 10K because you probably slowed down a bit before they got you.

    It’s exaggerated ppl!
    1. Different types of weed with different prices
    2. 50& pokes of regular weed is 1.2-1.4 grams
    Exotics like haze, kush etc are .6 or .7 for 50$
    3. Now u do the math!!
    It’s like beer compared to rum or vodka. Not the same price

    • David says:

      And it was probably nothing special, putting the average price around $12,000. A little over 1/3 of the value stated in the report.

  7. jredmond says:

    a gram of weed does not sell for $100 dollars in bermuda, no matter how good it is. And if you are buying it for that price you’re a moron

  8. Reality says:

    And who says our people aren’t good at maths! LOL..shame on you all.

    Well some of you seem to be very knowledgable about this!
