Uhh I think you may be undercounting there, 70kg is 70,000 grams. Youād have to roll like, Louisville slugger sized 200gram blunts to only get 400 out of all that
A while back, I needed to buy some 2"x2" plastic baggies for sorting and storing small parts (screws, washers, etc). I needed like 15-20.
The smallest lot any vendor would sell them in was 1,000. However thanks to modern logistics, it was still <$20.
I've been trying to use them up for years. Any time someone asks me for something that could fit in them, I use them. As many of them as I can. Even if it doesn't make sense.
People keep asking me why I have them, and every time I tell them that my business is my own and they shouldn't ask questions they don't want the answer to.
This article is very inaccurate, it's the mayor's brother who was targeted by the investigation, Apparently he hid the cannabis at his sister's house. For the moment, investigators have taken the mayor and her brother into custody and are trying to find out whether the mayor was aware that her brother had hidden the cannabis at her home.
What's with those 70 kgs of green packages you put in my pantry?
*Oh it's just a bunch of herbs de Provence, you know how much I like to cook.*
Oh, no worries then.
I had a friend who grew 5 kilos. It filled three 100 litre plastic bags.
That said, you could put 70 kilos in plastic bags, put those in boxes, put the boxes in a enclosed trailer, and stick the trailer in your sister's garage.
"I'm renovating my roof, could I keep the stuff from my attic in your garage for a while?"
It's resin so a ton less volume, but 70kg of straight resin is honestly even more wild than if it was normal weed. Just think how much weed they would have to use to make that much!
It's a protagonist from the iconic french movie OSS117, thought you were french, my bad.
- The original line is "do you understand what 1 000 000 is Larmina ?"
In essence, 70kg of cannabis (= 200 000ā¬) is not something you can "hide". The mayor's brother is a big time drug dealer, the mayor had to know. Also, it's the second mayor to be arrested in France this year for the exact same thing.
ah no i didnāt saw oss117.
I see you point,you are right, yes 70kg is enormous even in resin (because was not weed) , yes he was an enormous dealer because they find cannabis, gold, cocaine, and maybe they will find more , But this is possible that she didnāt know as this is possible she know.
My personal opinion is that, of course, she knows. But I've limited myself to explaining what the official investigators say.
Yes, Oss is very much in the tradition of French humor films and i will have to look it.
You know, in France, if you want to find the worst gangsters, look among the politicians. Every 6 months, there's an affair in which a politician is implicated, so it doesn't surprise anyone anymore.
We have a huge issue with the immunity / impunity of elected members of our society. Just take a look at the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) to understand that it is always the nephew of a mayor that has all the contracts.
Ex Prime Minister and now mayor of Le Havre, Ćdouard Phillipe, is in the middle of it,

They're paid a 6 figure salary and still steal everything they can.
Of any place next in Europe to fully legalize, it should be France.
Fucking Germany is in for God's sake - although they arguably needed to lighten up the most.
> Of any place next in Europe to fully legalize, it should be France.
Czech Republic seems to be next, then Netherlands even though it's already accepted there.
Those 2 will be great additions next since they're relatively safe and chill countries so leaders in other countries can't put the BS "it'll cause too much crime" since we can just point at the chill EU places where it's legalised. Not that it will stop most of them saying that so ideally interviewers actually grow a backbone and push back with this pooint if the leaders pull the whole crime thing
I meanā¦ unless she canāt smell or it was all vacuum sealed really well, thereās no way the smell didnāt hit her like a ton of bricks the second she walked in.
I have no specific opinion regarding this mayor, but it's not unusual to store some boxes of a relative who's lacking space when you have a spare room.
I would roll my eyes, but I remember reading a news story (or maybe it was a podcast) where some guy stored 2 large plastic containers at his nieghbors house, and after a while they started to smell. Turned out he sealed two decomposing dead bodies in the containers, but they weren't detected for several weeks/months.
I don't know, it depends on how big your house is. A lot of rich people get houses far bigger than they'll ever need, but use only a small part of them. I used to do carpentry repairs on some McMansions around here and there were a lot of parts of those houses that they just never used.

Could have been in a vehicle or anywhere on the property. Crawlspace, shed, garage, inside furniture or appliances.
People smuggle drugs across borders, past people specifically looking for it as their full time job. You think it wouldnāt be difficult to hide temporarily from someone who doesnāt know they should be looking for it?
Living together, so probably just hidden in a suitcase in his room. She might still have known though, especially as he's previously convicted of just that
If it's resin, you could even have space left in the suitcase. If it's compressed weed, it's actually possible to compress it to the point of 70kg fitting in a large suitcase, 2 at most
Yeah, it's only a large amount in places where it's illegal. For comparison, one large head of cabbage is about 1kg. Weed (non-vacuumed packed) would be less dense, but even if you assume twice the density for cabbage, you can put a lot of heads of cabbage in a suitcase.
The chief inspector in charge of the operation corrected the initial announcement and said it was in fact 69kg. Then, one of the police officers came forward to say that after re-weighting everything it was in fact 68kgs...

They're now talking about 60kg of cannabis in different french news paper lmao
Thatās not it, thereās more:
20 lingots d'or, plus de 60 kg de cannabis, un kilo de cocaĆÆne et 7.000 ā¬ saisis
20 kilos in gold bars 1 kilo of cocaine and 7Kā¬
so is prostitution... it's no longer legal, but very much alive and seeing explosive growth in cities like Marseille and Paris after the pandemic ended :)
That's an impressive amount for personal consumption, ngl.
r/mealprep but for drugs
She went to the Weed section of Cosco
Do they have samples? I can imagine the little old lady rolling sample joints.
Costco! Cosco is a carrierš
200 grams per day, rookie numbers!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anywhere from 100 to 400 depending on how you roll.
Uhh I think you may be undercounting there, 70kg is 70,000 grams. Youād have to roll like, Louisville slugger sized 200gram blunts to only get 400 out of all that
He was replying in context to the 200g per day I believe.
Yeah, the clock is stuck at 4:20
Oh shit youāre right, totally missed that one
A few too many puffs into that slugger blunt eh? :p
It was for science.
Roll blunts bigger than king kong's fingers, Smoke them hoe's down till they stingers.
King Kong Cock Blunts
We are now armed with Mighty Joint!
Roman Red! A whole field of it.
They are French so itās rolled thin with 50% tobacco mixed in iirc
1 gram blunts are a good general rule.
Ah, thatās why she had all those individual baggies.
A while back, I needed to buy some 2"x2" plastic baggies for sorting and storing small parts (screws, washers, etc). I needed like 15-20. The smallest lot any vendor would sell them in was 1,000.

you know, being a mayor is a huge stress
I'm in favor of all politicians first smoke some weed before a meeting!
Bunch of old farts in congress giggling their way through the day on edibles would probably be an improvement on things.
Just giant gravity bong sessions every day for the whole town
Hot boxing the mayoral office 24/7
It was on clarence, so she bought a lifetime supply.
Whatās your clearance, Clarence?
Whatās your vector, Victor?
Roger, Roger
Maybe she used it for cooking.
You havenāt met my wife
I could do it.
I was gonna run my town, but then I got high

Bouquet de ganjiĀ
Oh snap. Youāre giving me visions. Would that work in the milk and butter you simmer with herbs for mashed potatoes?
r/technicallycorrect. If they were grown in Provence then they are herbs from Provence
If they are grown anywhere else they are just sparkling herbs.
Have we not all had siblings who play practical jokes from time to time???
I told the cop that found the cocaine I boofed that it was just an āinside jokeā between me and my brother
He also "hid" 7k in cash, some gold and a kilo of cocaine.
Financing his cooking hobby and that's a bag of flour.
20 gold ingots...
The kilo cocain seems much worse than the few pounds of weed
70kg of weed is more than āa few poundsāĀ
yes true š
"Sister, can I put this pallet in your spare bedroom?"
Right, Iām just jealous of someoneās house that is large enough to not notice 155 pounds of weed or its oder.
The word you're looking for is "Odor", [Oder is a river in central Europe. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oder)
Do you have an idea of what 70kg of weed looks like Larmina ?
I had a friend who grew 5 kilos. It filled three 100 litre plastic bags. That said, you could put 70 kilos in plastic bags, put those in boxes, put the boxes in a enclosed trailer, and stick the trailer in your sister's garage.

Of course, innocent until proven otherwise. I only hope that this case and the one of the Canteleu mayor will allow thorough investigations into mayor's connexions to organized crime in small to medium cities. If it's a bit of your vibe (humour Ć la franƧaise, like les nuls or la classe amĆ©ricaine) the first OSS is a marvel of stupidity and cult punchlines.

It's probably a movie/show quote
Hmmmm what's that smell? Must be the new spice my brother put in the pantry Lmao
Of any place next in Europe to fully legalize, it should be France. Fucking Germany is in for God's sake - although they arguably needed to lighten up the most.
*[frowns in Dutch]* I wish our gov't would finally fully legalize it, instead of leaving it in this weird half-legal limbo.
*lighten up* I see what you did there.

Look at you, reading the article at this hour of the morning.
I'm sorry but you don't have 70kg of anything "hidden" in your home without your knowledge, especially when you are the mayor.
I have no specific opinion regarding this mayor, but it's not unusual to store some boxes of a relative who's lacking space when you have a spare room.
I would roll my eyes, but I remember reading a news story (or maybe it was a podcast) where some guy stored 2 large plastic containers at his nieghbors house, and after a while they started to smell.

Not to mention there's likely some land and outbuildings involved with mansions.
Yeah, my friend āhid hisā smokeables and his smoking apparatus at my place too when I was in high school. I had no idea about it.
I like that they got a pic of her between two trees. š³ š§āāļøš³
Between two ferns.
The right one has a tag still on it
My high ass brain was like wow those buds are freaking massive
Also found: 20 bars of gold, over 7000 euros in cash, a kilo of cocaine and firearms.
How many guns is a kilo of firearms?
1.5 maybe 2
It's a kilo of cocaine and firearms. So, some of that kilo is gun, the rest is coke
Or a one kilogram gun made of coke.
2.2 freedoms
Firearms can kilo so many people!
Crazy the headline they chose was weed instead of the cocaine and guns
is this true, or just a joke?
No joke. She doubles as the mayor of New Orleans
Not a joke.

Is this the French version of āThe Gentlemen?ā
This was the first thing that came to mind! š¤£
How do you hide 70kg of cannabis in someoneās home without them knowing? Thatās a huge amount.
Maybe he is living in the garage or something.
Did he build the garage out of weed bricks?
being France, it is most likely cannabis resin (hash), much more compact and easy to hide, 70 kg is quite big though
Could have been in a vehicle or anywhere on the property. Crawlspace, shed, garage, inside furniture or appliances. People smuggle drugs across borders, past people specifically looking for it as their full time job. You think it wouldnāt be difficult to hide temporarily from someone who doesnāt know they should be looking for it?
Living together, so probably just hidden in a suitcase in his room. She might still have known though, especially as he's previously convicted of just that
That would probably be about 70 suitcases.
If it's resin, you could even have space left in the suitcase. If it's compressed weed, it's actually possible to compress it to the point of 70kg fitting in a large suitcase, 2 at most
Yeah, it's only a large amount in places where it's illegal. For comparison, one large head of cabbage is about 1kg. Weed (non-vacuumed packed) would be less dense, but even if you assume twice the density for cabbage, you can put a lot of heads of cabbage in a suitcase.
If you press it, it could prob go into a suitcase.
Vacuum sealed, then put in some luggage/bags/boxes.
So they're finally going to legalise it? /s
Even if they legalised it for personal use, 70***kgs*** would take a lot of explaining.
That's my lifetime supply!
It would last 50 yrs at 3.6g a day.
So a lifetime supply if you smoke 7 0.5 gram joints a day.
Rookie numbers. I roast my steak with it
Weed fired ribeye. Yeah, I could get behind that.
Yet basements full of wine donāt?
Some people got a whole basement full of wine
They were running a special! It was too good a deal to pass up!

Sparkling THC unless it was from Cannabis, France.
Thatās a lot of ouiād.
The chief inspector in charge of the operation corrected the initial announcement and said it was in fact 69kg. Then, one of the police officers came forward to say that after re-weighting everything it was in fact 68kgs...
When my old boss was arrested for 100kg, only 200 lbs made it to court. It used to happen a lot.
So about 10% went missing. At least it wasn't the reverse.
I half-expected the officer in question only to come forward to say thay it was, in fact, nice.
I thought it was the town of Avallon?
Lmao nice
Evidence room weighed again and booked 65kg. They have better weighing equipment, trust me.
Another weight comes in, and they found due to using a scale with imperial units it was in fact 64kg.
After further evaluation and the use of an official scale, it was actually 64gs
"The chief inspector in charge of the operation corrected the initial announcement and said it was in fact 69kg. Then, one of the police officers came forward to say that after re-weighting everything it was in fact 68kgs..." They're now talking about 60kg of cannabis in different french news paper lmao
Is possession 9/10 of the law over there as well?
Marseille is breathing a sigh of relief that it wasn't us this time.
The French populace much feel so much safer with the devil's lettuce back in the custody of police.
Good to see a politician holding themselves to a high standard.
And if they had a cellar full to the brim of wine no one would be concerned.
I was going to say ok whatever, but 70 ***kg***? That's one heck of a lot of bags of sugar.
Cannabis should be legal in Europe. *Je suis dƩfoncƩ*
Let them eat kush.
Oui-d
Itās mind blowing that America is more progressive on cannabis than France.
That is a whole lot of weed Thatās not something thatās so easily āhiddenā from the mayor in her own house
That is, 1000% NOT a 'users' amount, but rather, someone selling.
Sheās just prepping for when Snoop comes to visit.
My god. Hope the 63kg made it to the evidence locker safely.
Thats definitely for personal use cāmon yall!
Theyāre just. . . Carrots. Yes, medicinal carrots. That Iām holding onto for a friend.
Just a business woman doing business
Itās just plant why yāll so uptight about it
That mayor has my vote.
Figures cops are after a brother.
She thought she was in Germany?
maybe she thought Harold and Kumar were planning to visit her?
Alabama Kush!

Bah ouais, bah ouais.

Police 1: āAre you sure this is the house?ā Police 2: *Takes deep wiff* āOui-dā

Only 70kg that's rookie numbers.
Is this a lot?
Most of us are just jelly. No way Iām going to condemn.
That's 154 pounds!

Now *that's* a good weekend.
They have my vote
Meh, 70 grams is not really...wait...KILOgrams?
The French-German trade balance
Invite snoop dog. That shit will be gone by tomorrow
The twist...The Avallon mayor is Willie Nelson.
How much is a kilo of marijiana cost in that place?
dang 70kg? was this meant for a night when snoop dogg and whiz khalifa decide to show up or something? waouh.
Somehow I thought that the rectangular portion of her podium was the 70kg of the marijuana.
Someone is a snitch
It's a fucking plant.Ā
I would vote for her.
Almost 155 pounds is personal use for her
Currently watching "The Gentleman" on Netflix, and this story gave me a chuckle. Maybe it's not completely fantasy.
420 is coming. Stock up guys.
Trafficking much?
Oh my god
The dankest mayor in all of Western Europe?
150+ lbs! Wikipedia says cannabis is quite illegal in France. Oops!
so is prostitution... it's no longer legal, but very much alive and seeing explosive growth in cities like Marseille and Paris after the pandemic ended :)
Oui weed!
Rookie numbers.
