It probably accurately describes the higher end of the street value, yea. But representing drugs by their street value is like representing a crate of apples as having a value of $1000, because they could be turned into apple pies and sold at Marie Calendars.
These guys had the apples and they had pie crust and they had ovens, so they were definitely planning on turning the apples into apple pies. But there's a lot of work that has to be done between having the raw materials and actually having that much in cash.

My point is that the 2.2 number has that data in it. 100 lbs of pure is worth more. The 100 lbs of cut pill product is worth 2.2.
