Question about 1/8ths.

[ephlaxplaya21]

People have been trying to pass off 1/8ths as 3.5g's.. and i've always thought it was 4g's.

What is the real amount of g's that should go into an 1/8th?

[el_fantistico]

An ouce is 28 grams...

A half ounce is 14 grams...

A quarter ounce is 7 grames...

An eighth (or half quarter to some) is indeed 3.5 grams...

That is all.

Was hoping for 4grams... =D

Thanks though.

[Testament]

..........3.5, and it never was 4 grams.



unless a O has 32gs........

.
unless a O has 32gs........
Now THAT would be a lovely O.

[ephlaxplaya21]

Haha!

*Another question*

How much do glad sandwhich bags weigh? Im almost certain its a g, but i thought i'd ask..

[Testament]

varies.

[affasd]

ya the normal bags way 1g sometimes goes between 1 and 1.1g but ziplock bags way more of course

[el_fantistico]

Not sure, but if you're getting from a reputable dealer they probably either zero the scale with the baggie already on thus negating the weight of the bag or have the weight factored in to the final number. If a dealer (well one with some sense anyways) was going to rip you off they wouldn't be weighing the stuff out in front of you, it would be much easier for them just to pre pack the baggies light and sell it to you already bagged up.

I never weigh the bag, I weigh the bud and then put all of that in the bag. No need to weigh the bag at all unless you sell.

[ephlaxplaya21]

Nah, my dealers chill. Usually gives me 4g's.. that's why i asked. When its from another person i usually get 3.5g's.

just recently got a digital scale though.

[Testament]

I weigh out plenty of bags daily and always way the bud seperate.....but I do have a dealer who weighs out Os while still in the bag. all you have to do is place a bag on the scale, TAR or Zero the scale, and then put the bag with the weed on the scale, but i would only reconmend it for like a 1/2 O to an O on a small scale, but it will keep you from over handling the weed.

[stinkyattic]

Your scale should have a tare function on it.
Dollar-store ziploc sandwich bags weigh .3-.4g, brand-name sandwich-sized ziploc bags generally weigh out at about .5g. If the bag is the sort with an actual plastic ZIPPER, it will be more, or if it's 'food storage' weight and the plastic is thicker.

[ephlaxplaya21]

That's what tares for.

I feel like an ass

=D

noob.

[FUNKNUGGET]

from my dealing days I remember glad fold tops are 1 gram even, ziplock sandwich bags are 2.7, ziplock freezer bags are about 13.5

[ephlaxplaya21]

Yeah, the glad fold tops iz best too. :D

[SmokeyTokey]

An eighth is always 3.5 grams of material or more. If you are friendly with the dealer and don't cause him trouble you may get 4 grams. Never expect 4 grams every time.;)

[Iambreathingin]

In london because of some big shutdowns including an automated factory with over 1 million plants, 8ths are at like 2.9-3.4 grams now...

If you pick up in brixton from the thugs (providing you don't get stabbed) you get 2.4 grams. at £20

[dean0000]

I found on google that 1 oz = 28.3495231 g

So the exact weight for an 1/8oz = 3.5436903875

So if you get a 3.5g bag you are technically being skanked by 0.045g. Just to be pedantic.

[el_fantistico]

I think it's a good idea for all serous marijuana "hobbyist" to have his or her own digital scale, doesn't hurt for your dealer to know it too, just to keep them honest. I certainly don't mean that every time you pick up you should be like "Better be an ounce, buddy, I'm going home to weigh it and if it's light you're dead!!". No, that would not be tactful... but if you say something like "I just picked up an XBrand scale, what's your opinion of it?" it gets the message out in an everyday (dealer) conversation.

Let's be honest, we're dealing in a black market that cannot be effectively policed because in the eyes of the law, we're all guilty regardless of the side of the dispute we're on. There are ways to protect our own interests... owning a scale is one of them.

Yeeees, an 1/8 is a unit of measurement. It will never change.

But when you do buy ounces, technically, it should be 28.3 grams.
