Please don’t insult the noble gram by comparing it the filthy ounce. It won’t help anyway. You have to use objects. Just tell them the pot weighed about 3 decks of poker cards, was about a slimjim in diameter and had a volume capacity of a medium bottle of coke.
Comment on How much grams?

For our American friends: A gram is just a unit of measurement, like an ounce just with less freedom and fewer calories.
You’re welcome.

Bro, I’m American. Just tell me how many burgers it is
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s about one burger and four sliders.

Looking how the things are going over there, I’d say a gram is like an ounce with a little more freedom in it

We measure lots of things in grams in the US, like weed and psychedelic mushrooms

Not ounces? I heard people say quarter, or half, etc. when referring to both mushrooms and weed.

Terrifying enough it is both. You measure in grams as a fraction of ounces until you get to an ounce and then you measure in those until you get to pounds unless its so much that you move back to kilograms.
Joint = 1 gram
1/8th = 3.5 grams
1/2 = 14 grams

I’ve heard both in the US
