As for the estimates. The problem with the estimates has more to do with the return than the amounts. A healthy marjijuana plant can probably grow a 1 lb/ year pretty easily. The problem is they always use "street value" when measuring the value of drugs. The people moving bulk amounts are not going to stand on the corner with dime bags. They are moving volume so probably getting less than $1,000.00 per pound.

Weed, cigarettes and booze are considerably less expensive in Amsterdam than they are here. All legal. Granted the Dutch dont believe in taxing people to death on anything but parking, but thats neither here nor there.
