Now THIS is a drug bust

Chicago cops arrested Luis Miguel Herrera, 29, after he was caught with more than 5,000 grams of marijuana (approximately 220 pounds; estimated value, $1,596,644) and $8,000 in cash, and then they confiscated 25 kilograms of cocaine (estimated street value of $3,125,000), four pounds of methamphetamine (estimated value of $598,620) and a 9 mm handgun.

A sharp reader submits this:

"5,000 grams of " boo---

1000 grams = 1 kilogram
1 kilogram roughly 2.2 pounds

therefore, about 11 pounds of pot?
----------
220 lbs of mootah would be about 100 kilograms or 100,000 grams of grass

It don't add up no way. However, I consider the metric system an attempt by effete European degenerates to corrupt America's Purity of Essence, so maybe it doesn't make any difference.
