hey, people in england, we just started to do a bit of dealing and i just wondered if the same weights applied everywhere else
8th= 3.5g
1/4=7g
1/2=14g
oz=28g
also do you give the same weight if someone asks for a £20 instead of a 1/8? with an 1/8 being £20. just wondered cos a dealer round here does that just wondered if he was being shady.
answers from all over england would be great but staffordshire would be most helpful cos thats where i live.

An 8th? What about the metric system?

An 8th is 3.5! Some people try to sell it for lower sometimes but a true 8th is 3.5.

Aye a true eigth will always mathematicaly be 3.5 but a dealers "eighth" could be a bit less or they could sell 3.5 for £25 and 3.0 for £20.

The english use both metric & imperial systems. Depending on if it's weight, mass, length, area etc.

Yeah, I was there for a while and was surprised to see speed posted as miles. I expected kilometers. Anyway, I absolutely despise paying for an eighth that weighs less than 3.5g. Calling it a "dealer's eighth" is allowing yourself to get ripped off. Buy a scale and carry it with you when your guy "forgets" his.

to be honest i have only ever seen scales used by a dealer once and he was selling us a £10 at 1.5g, and he said that was a special offer. everything is done by eye and what you usually get for each weight thats why im so puzzled about the weights and how mush they go for. i have brought some scales from ebay today so i will be able to do things properly

If possible, buyers should weigh weed in front of the dealers. After all, he's going to count the money.

^^^ I've made that point on occasion. But at the end of the day it comes down to whether you are willing to pay the asking price for the drugs in question. But an 1/8th is 3.5, has nothing to do with drugs, simple math.

An ounce is ALWAYS 28 grams. Divide as necessary.
