There are 28 grams in one ounce... Don't you have a English-to-metric conversion table somewhere? :D

Wow.  I can't believe the how something like an 1/8 (referring to an eight of an ounce) is even debatable?!  
2.5 in Cali?  I'm sorry, numbers don't work that way.  You're not being sold an eighth, you're being sold 2.5 grams for the price of an eight.  Math is math, there is no way to evenly divide 28 grams into eight equal pieces and have ANY of them weigh 2.5 grams.
To say an "eighth" is a loose term is wrong, just more marginalizing of the english language.
If someone is selling you anything less than 3.5 grams and calling it an eighth, tell them they're wrong, it is a percise messurment.
If someone sells you MORE than 3.5 grams in an eighth... shut the fuck up and smoke!

Thank you. Its was a little different when we talked a dime. That was a bit variable. 
But an eighth is just that......
I know people who accept that and 6 gram quarts but I would never. And I all but slap them when they do it. Ugghh. 
Electricity cost me about $45/Mo and I get an Ounce/Mo. 
Do the math.

Bay Area: 3.5 for an Eighth for $50-60. Most dealers will give repeat customers a bit more too.

In southern Cali in the suburbs of LA its about 60$ for an eighth. Here an eighth is equal to exactly 3.5G (unless you get hooked up like me haha).

yeah prices in new york are pretty crazy too. im paying about $65 an eighth now. i mean its pretty good shit but still im burning about $130 a week...kinda sucks when you think about it that way. back where im from an eighth would only run you about $25-$30 for some decent stuff. shits getting expensive these days!

You DON'T. Everyone on the lease would face legal trouble if anything happened as a result of your grow.

Something that annoys me in my neck of the woods (and it really IS the woods) is that most of my friends refer to "eighths" as "half quarters".  They mean the same thing, but "half-quarter" seems foolish to me.
