Think of it like this, when people make drug busts and they find huge amounts of cocaine or whatever and they say oh this is 300 something mod a million is worth of stuff. No it’s not. It’s maybe like not even half that not even a quarter of that, they just make it up just to make their bust even bigger

I remember it used to be calculated on the lowest value extrapolated out so a gram of smoke was 20/25 bucks so a kilo of smoke “had a street value of 20,000 - 25,000.”

Not to mention they usually count the weight of whatever they’re in too. See a big news story about the cops seizing tons of product at a port? Well they’re including the shipping container weight.
