Who actually places the monetary value on seized illegal "drugs"?

Such as 1 ton of MJ being worth 4.1 million dollars? There is celebration going on in this State....2020 lbs of MJ seized on the same day. I don't think I will be alive if the South will ever legalize MJ. I have bit my lip so many times in the past 24 hours because of the joy I have seen on many faces because of these arrests. I told you guys Alabama plays hard...2 of the men are from CA...no bond of course...and not cooperating..have there been any other large arrests not noticed? NOW I understand why I am having to abstain from self-medicating and reading about this makes you want to laugh to keep from crying..think that's the correct "quote". For the South..well Alabama anyway this is big news.:( The other man arrested was from Michigan....stay away folks...don't try it here..our State is being destroyed by Crystal Meth and this is the big arrests??!!:mad:

Same thing happened last winter here in Minnesota. A shipment from Canada was confiscated - the news even made it to the front page of my college newspaper (University of Minnesota, The Daily).

It all stems from this sick media-culture relationship we have in the USA. If anyone ever gets a chance to travel out-of-country for an extended period of time, do it! Quit your job if you have to. You can't really see how fucked up things are in this country until you've seen it from the outside-in. Well... I guess you can, but still...
