    Nearby, they recovered a sealed bag crammed with 79 strips of the opioid buprenorphine, 0.94 grams of methamphetamine and the USB drive that was found to contain pornography, prosecutors said.

    Is $75k the prison value here or something? Seems like an incredibly random value for such a small amount.

      Yeah this is the second time I’ve seen this story and the first time didn’t try to include a dollar amount.

      Whoever wrote this pulled the number from their ass for clicks.

      A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.

      As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.

      No no… you’ve got it all wrong. It’s $75,000 total value for the drugs plus the porn.

      So it’s like $10,000 worth of drugs and $65,000 worth of porn. After all, you can cream a lot of porn into a USB drive these days.

      For anyone doubting that the porn is worth that much, well… you’ll just have to watch it and decide for yourself.
