Loudoun Deputies Seize Potent Hash-Oil Extract That Contains 80% THC
As marijuana extracts expand their presence on the East Coast, an especially potent concentrate is appearing on law enforcement radar.
Shatter, a cannabis extract with about 80 percent THC content, is legal for recreational use in states such as Colorado and Washington, sold in medical marijuana dispensaries in other states and is faster-acting and far more easily concealed than marijuana.
On Monday, Loudoun County sheriff 's deputies intercepted a truck that had about $900,000 worth of packaged marijuana near Dulles International Airport. Included in that load was 15 pounds of shatter, in total packaged weight. Shatter, which is sold by the gram because of its potency, retails for about $60 a gram in Colorado, so 10 pounds of shatter would be worth nearly $270,000 - in a state where it is legal. Black-market shatter probably would cost much more.
