Different strains have different densities.

So how do I tell?

A) Buy a cheap $15 electronic scale on ebay or some other online store.

B) Buy a letter scale. They cost like $1-3

C) Use american nickles (they weigh 5 grams) and compare them in a bag with the bag of bud.

Example: You buy a 1/4 and want to know if you got majorly ripped. Take the bud and move it to one corner of the baggy. Place 3 nickles (15 grams) in the corner of another baggy. Compare weight of the two baggies.

Obviously B and C are not as accurate (specially C) but bottom line....

You can't tell the weight of bud with your eyes.


K. but on average about how much does a bud weigh?
