Well let's see. Using the moulding on the wall as scale, we can guess that the bags are about 2 mouldings tall. They actually look like the same exact mouldings at my house, so I can tell you they're just about 4 inches tall. That makes each bag 8 inches tall, and what appears to be a banana and a half wide. Bananas are usually about 8 inches wide
[src] so that makes them a foot wide. Ironically, they also appear to be about as wide as the banana laying on it. The banana is about 5 inches wide
[src] so let's say the bags are 12x5x8. That means they have a volume of 480 cubic inches per bag.
I'm having a difficult time finding a figure on how dense the average nug of weed is. If one of you would like to shave a large nug down to one cubic inch and weigh it for me, that would quickly solve this problem. However, for the time being, I'm going to pull a number out of my ass and say that a cubic inch of (unground) weed is about 2 grams. There's gonna be a lot of air in there, so let's say only 2/3 of the bag volume is occupied by that marijuana. That puts us at 640g per bag, or 22 and a half ounces.
I count 11 bags per row and 2 rows, so 22 bags plus the 9 on top. That's 31 bags at 640g per bag; just under 20,000g. That's about 44 pounds.
The math is crude, but my best estimate is that you've got about 50 pounds of weed there, or as
Wolfram Alpha helpfully points out, about 1.8
gold bars.
For fun, let's do a price comparison. 50 pounds of pure gold sells for about
$755,000. That looks like mids weed, and let's use New York City as the area we're offloading this at. So 50 pounds at $261.27/oz
[src] is about $210,000. Alternately, if that entire 'couch' were made of solid gold, it would be worth
5.7 million dollars.
Much more accurate estimate: those are gallon bags. Filled at 2/3 marijuana at a density of 2g/ci that's 308g (11oz) per bag, roughly half of my original estimate. 31 bags * 308g per bag = just under 10,000g or 22 pounds. That's $377,000 in gold or $92,000 in weed. It was still fun trying to calculate it using floor mouldings and bananas though.Actually, they were much more likely 2 gallon bags, which puts my estimate almost right exactly on point. forget yeah bananas and floor mouldings.
