Bullshit Detector

Mall of the Americas in Miami

From Central Florida 13 News
"DEA agents found a hydroponics lab with more than 200 marijuana plants, standing 3 to 6 feet tall in the air and worth millions of dollars, in a storage area on the second floor of the mall."

First of all, that took balls. To grow that much Marijuana (which we all know is illegal!! HA!) in a public place... wow. Second, I hate reading bullshit in published material. "worth millions of dollars"?  OK. The average idiot would buy that story...  but then... Oh look!  I have found another segment ON THE SAME NETWORK that has this to say about another find in April of this year.

ALSO... from Central Florida 13 News
"LAKE COUNTY -- Deputies busted what they called the largest and most sophisticated marijuana growing operations they've ever seen."
"Inside investigators said they found an estimated 2,000 pot plants, with a street value of at least $2 million."

How do 200 plants become worth millions of dollars, when 2000 plants is worth an estimated $2 million?  Last I checked 2000 is more than 200. But correct me if I am wrong. 

I am just using this story as an example. It is important to not base your decisions on one source of information. If you read something, and think its bullshit, then look into it more (Google) and find multiple sources to make your own assessment.
