Man arrested in Dublin airport with 300 grand of cannabis
I've always wondered, are they calculating that sale value by the 1/8? Cause a 9-bar used to cost about 150 quid, IIRC, and an 1/8 would be about 15 quid, i.e. 1080 quid - so maybe we should be dividing all these coppers' estimates by about 7 or so?

Numbers the police report to the press,
are most usually the 'street' value as defined by police who stand to gain from promotion for overstating the success of their drugs operations.

Some arseholes sell shit weed for £30 per gram in a nightclub or whatever, therefore an ounce is worth £840 rather than the real 'street' value of ~£150 (which would be 5.6 times cheaper).

Dunno how much a 9bar of soap is these days, not that you can find it, not that you'd actually want to.

Who the fuck buys weed in a nightclub?

Drunk/pilled up people who didn't think to buy some ahead of time.

One of my methadone clients in Kirkcaldy
once asked me (20+ years ago): "is 10mls meff'done about the same as a tenner packet of skag?"

I didn't know. Always heard the £/ml price comparison around then, but doubted it was accurate based on the sheer volumes they were re-selling. Half price for immediately regurgitated methadone sounds about right though.
