  We used to just call that an eighth.

    Yes, but a metric eighth.

    Gosh, I wonder how many grams there are in a quarter ounce?

  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.

    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.

        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…
