Americans will use anything but the metric system ... unless it's important.

Who says 3000 grams instead of 3 kg anyway.

People do it when they want to make the thing they’re presenting sound more impressive or bigger.

This isn't a real thing, I've never heard anyone say "thousands of grams" in my whole life.

When people (and I mean, usually law enforcement) want to inflate the numbers on drug busts, they convert it to "doses" at some unknown conversion rate, or to "market value". Which kinda makes some sense, because it takes into account the purity level, but still sounds weird.

Drug math, keys are for coke.

Concentrate like that is usually sold by the gram. I'm going to assume they phrased it like that so we stoners can immediately visualize it as 3000 1g pots.

I suddenly want to go bowling. And get high.

You know what, forget the bowling.

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Bring out the bowl

No wonder Saruman started getting weird.

I might be an addict.

I saw this and immediately thought, "I would do anything to have this. I wouldn't have to buy weed for at least sixteen months if I had this."

It really only looks like that on the space station.

3000 grams, otherwise known as 3kg.

For anyone wanting more info on what they are and how they’re made, they are created by a facility named Xtracted Labs right here in my hometown of Seattle WA!

(I don’t partake myself, but I find the stuff fascinating!)
