DALLAS -- Dallas deputies stopped a tractor-trailer loaded with marijuana late Tuesday night.

Deputies spotted the truck weaving on Interstate 30 and stopped the driver. Inside the truck they found 11,000 pounds of pot worth an estimated $12 million.

"When you've got $12 million worth of marijuana in one single vehicle, that's a huge risk and when they lose that kind of money and can absorb that type of loss it shows the size of some of these organizations," said Sgt. Don Peritz with the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.

Officials arrested two people who are now charged with possession.


The truck is registered to a Houston company

That's 704,000 quarter bags.
Even if you only sold them at $50 a bag, which would be cheap, you'd get $35,200,000.
Not 12 mil. What do they think the going rate is? $15?

What an idiot! If you're hauling something illegal be sure you DON'T attract attention of the cops...

Morons!
Did the cops have to burn the evidence? And how many pounds of pizzas were eaten afterwards?

honestly it depends on where you are, the quality of the bud, and how fast you want to move it.

really depends ya know... prices vary quite heavily on the factors above plus a large collection of others: such as it the bud in season or is it just of season backyard dooday
