The street value the police state really concerns me. If they annouse how much in weight was ceased it alarms me that they have no idea how much it cost. If they don't know how much it cost how much more do they not know? I will offer a little help. 86 lbs x 16 ozs to a pound = 1376 ozs at $240.00 per oz ( high number ) = $330,240.00

86lbs = $780,000? $9000 a pound? Sweet Jesus, is it gold dusted pot? That being said, let's play their game. What's a 15% corporate tax on $780,000? $117,000. That's what the government could be taking in in corporate tax if they regulated it like they do alcohol. That's a lot of paved roads and hospital equipment. Instead, they probably spent $50,000 of your tax dollars investigating and arresting this guy.
