EXPENSIVE POT

Re: Mike McIntyre's City man convicted in bid to toss drugs into 
prison yard (Sept. 18).
One of his statements is misleading at best, and utterly ridiculous 
at worst. McIntyre
was discussing the resale value of pot within the prison system when 
he claimed "a
single gram could make up to 28 individual joints which could be sold 
among inmates for
about $5 each." If he were assuming this gram of pot would be watered 
down with tobacco,
that condition may have been helpful in attempting to make sense of 
this line. Even 28
joints, each rolled with one-twenty-eighth of a gram of marijuana 
among tobacco leaves
is a stretch.
