Read the comments below the story. Looks like some members here were commenting, including a Joe Rogan "alias", or maybe it's him. First article I've seen where they didn't exaggerate the value of the herb. One guy commented that 300 pounds was only one blunt for a Jamaican

A routine traffic stop led police to a 300-pound stash of marijuana in the Bronx.

Detectives noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from a car they stopped on Wednesday afternoon. Police say there were two bags containing about 25 pounds of marijuana in the trunk.

The driver, 66-year-old Denroy Morgan, a Jamaican reggae artist from Springfield, Mass., was arrested.

But that wasn't all. Further investigation led to a house nearby on Taylor Avenue.

Police arrested a man seen leaving the house. They say 46-year-old Wayne Swavy of Mount Vernon, N.Y. had 16 pounds of pot in his car.

But the big find was inside the house. Police say they found 300 pounds of marijuana there, which could be worth anywhere from $120,000 to $300,000 depending on quality.

Defense attorney information wasn't immediately available.

Morgan created the Black Eagles reggae band in New York City in 1974. The peak of his career came a decade later when he signed with RCA Records.

He had one hit song: "I'll Do Anything for You."

That's a few blocks away from where I grew up! LOL! Since I'm familiar with the terrain, I'm gonna go ahead and say it was some straight schwag. I'm sure more than half that weight is seeds and stems. Rarely, if ever, was it better than that.

Even if you don't drive someone driving to you can get busted and flip. It's a dangerous world we live in.

Schwag doesn't have the strong smell the police were describing no?

25 pound of the shittiest weed in the universe will still have "a strong odor of marijuana."

sucks about this guy getting busted, now he will spend the rest of his life in prison. for harmless plants that naturally grow out of the ground on the planet we all 'woke up on one day' really retarded that people just sit back and let a few people dictate their lives to them when none of us are any more powerful or knowledgeable than the other when it comes to who we are and what we're doing.
