UK people-weights

[ilovebongs]

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.

Im in London and yeah, if you ask for £20's worth you'd expect an eigth.

An 8th? What about the metric system?

[henrypj]

the metric system is whack. and no an eighth is 3.2.

[Reefer Rogue]

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

[Mirno Sctlnd]

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
