40,000 pounds of cocaine seized

Just saw on the news that 40,000 pounds of cocaine was just seized off a boat. Anyone care to guess the street value?

Narcotic Weights to Street Value: (estimate only)
Methamphetamine: 1 lb equals 16oz.
28 grams in 1 oz.
$80-100 per gram street value
Cocaine: 1 Kilo equals 2.2 lbs or 1000 grams
$100 per gram street value
Marijuana: 1 lb. sells for between $3-5,000 street value
rough estimate.....

Oregon State Police News Releases News and Events: OSP Meth Initiative Team Detectives Assist in Multi-Agency Drug Organization Investigation


40,000 lbs = 40,000 divided by 2.2 = 18181.818181818181818181818181818 grams or 18181 grams x $100 = $1,818,100

did i do that right????


anyone here do math? Obviously I DON't!
