The sheer amount of it makes me think that tampering with it will get you in trouble with some bad people

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the kind of people who own that much, or even let on that I'd seen it.

Replace two of the bags with oregano and tip off the police. The police report x kg of weed seized instead of x-½ because they want to look good. Dealers believe all is accounted for and you have 2 whole 9 bars to enjoy at your leisure.

I guess it depends on where you're at? Those look like ounces not pounds, honestly not that much value even if they were pounds, especially if you're in a place where it's legal.

Maybe quarter pounds. Still tens of thousands of dollars in a legal state.

Usually (at least in Britain) they'd be packaged into 9 ounce bags (otherwise known as a 9 bar) for distribution to dealers. It's sold by the kg on the international market and ounces on the British market and 9 Oz is approximately 250g so it's a handy way to convert from metric to imperial when selling to dealers.

Thats pretty interesting, does Britain use ounces generally? I thought that was a US thing.

The drug trade is American, they also use pints for beer though
