Hunh, "unweighable" to me expressed so much crack that it really could not be weighed in any practical sense. Not so little that it couldn't be. The shift in mindset is interesting.
There is no large amount too large to be weighed. They make absolutely sure to tout the mass of it if it's a large haul; it's essential to the propaganda for the war on drugs to parade every large bust possible*. And a large haul would never get a measly 15 year sentence. That guy would be away for life if it was a large amount or at least what would reasonably be a life sentence in terms of how old he is versus how long his sentence would be.
*Even if it's something as laughable as a marijuana bust.
