Enough to get high, in Dallas the drug houses take copper and other metal as payment. No need to make the trip to the junk yard.

Source? I can't find any.

It would seem like sitting on a large inventory of scrap metal would be a dumb way to run a "drug house".

Some local plugs are closer to fences as they will take pretty much anything of value. Recently heard of someone taking a high end bottle of cologne or expensive bottles of wine. Whether the plug enjoys the product themselves or is able to turn them around somewhere else is more information than I want to know.
