Default Why the perpetuation of "One Pound per Plant" by DEA ?

I'm sitting here watching a MSNBC special on Drugs in America.
One of the most prevalent statements by Police & DEA is that each plant will yield one pound. They showed different grow houses they busted, some were major operations while others were equal to or a little better than a closet grow room. In each instance they claimed that each plant would yield one pound of marijuana and assigned a street value that to me seemed very very high.
I'm curious how many of you who grow your own for medicinal purposes have achieved a yield of one pound per plant?

I'm also curious as to how many actually grow FOR PROFIT.
Even from the Medical patients perspective, do you sell some of your grow FOR PROFIT? I understand it is tempting, especially for those of us who survive on SSDI. There are only a few people who know what I am legally able to do today and, each of them have offered to sell my excess for a profit as a means to help me out financially. Personally, I refuse to go that route, one because I don't believe I can grow enough each harvest to have any excess and the other is that I wouldn't want to place my legal status in jeopardy for a few hundred dollars.

Are the members of this site willing to discuss this aspect of our community ?
I see people talking about growing pounds each harvest and it makes me wonder if I am just being naive.

I thought of another question which I do not know the answer to.
In California, they have a dispensorary system. Naturally they have people external to their organization who grow marijuana and 'transfer' it to the dispensorary for dispensation to those who carry a medical marijuana card.
Naturally this transfer would garner a recouping of costs yet, I'm curious as to how much profit is gained.
Is it equal to that gained on the street or are these individuals doing so out of compassion?
I have no idea about that entire system and am curious because there are people in Michigan fighting to allow a similar system in our state.
