Since it mentioned grams I assumed it was cocaine.
Weed is measured in grams as well. For instance, an eighth is 3.5g. Most drugs in the US are measured in grams, with the exception of those that come from illicit pill houses. There, you're paying by the pill and getting what you get.
In California cannabis is usually sold as ounces or fractions of an ounce.
I've worked in the business previously. Back of house always worked with grams but the customer was usually presented with oz.
In Arizona, cannabis is usually sold as grams because almost everybody buys concentrates now. I still see the occasional blunt but it's not as common as it was before legalization. Everybody moved onto to carts and dabs.
Right. So the fraction of an ounce is in grams. We're saying the same thing.
Basically. When I go to the dispensary the flower is listed as eighth, quarter, or ounce. Everything else is in grams.
Ok? You're paying by the gram regardless of the terminology on the display. If you buy a family size bag of chips, it isn't being weighed in "family sizes," it is still sold by US ounces.
