For as long as I've been smoking weed (22+ yrs) it's always been:

3.5g per 1/8
7g per 1/4
28g per oz
448 per pound

That's not TRULY accurate because we all know a pound weighs 453.59237g - google to the rescue.

Somebody already mentioned why you get a full pound when you're buying in bulk quantities. Because pot in those quantities is weighed on scales with 1lb increments or maybe even 1 ounce increments and those are going to be calibrated for a full (real) pound.

The reason it's always been weighed out based on 448g in the marijuana market - is because that divides up easy.

448 / 4 = 112g per QP
112g per QP / 4 = 28g per oz
28g per oz / 4 = 7g per 1/4

It just makes the math easy.

Some of you are right that it's really 453.59237 grams per pound and an ounce should weigh 28.3495 grams if we want to be 100% accurate.

But I ask you-- Is 0.3g per ounce really that much to you? 1/3 of a gram in an ounce?

IMO everybody is technically right - but it's such an insignificant amount that I wouldn't worry about it. I haven't worried about it for 22yrs and I'm not suffering for it.

Relax smoke a fatty. :jointsmile:
