Comment on everything actually important is already metric

What are you talking about with the weed? It’s sold in pounds, ounces, quarter ounces and “half quarters” which is as ridiculously un-metric as it gets.

Gosh, I wonder how many grams there are in a quarter ounce?
OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Sold in grams for small amounts, then back to Imperial for larger amounts.

Yes, the very metric package sizes using multiples of 7.

It doesn't matter what the multiple is. It could be 28.35g exactly, it's still metric because of the unit.

Bro can you post that to me in Australia

I don’t think I’ve seen a gram for sale since legalization. I see pre-rolls and half-quarters. Weighed in grams but packaged in imperial.

1g prerolls are actually the only round-number metric sale I see.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Right. I haven’t seen a 1g bag sold ever.

My theory on this is we use the imperial weights when describing the size in relation to the jail time associated with getting caught with it and then switch to metric for personal use.

I guess because no one buys 20 pounds of weed, but 20 grams is just fine…

Should have bullet measurements instead

We used to just call that an eighth.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Yes, but a metric eighth.
