if ur gonna deal ur providing a service, its the same if you got a shop, u expect to pay for what you get. I'm from the UK but an 8th is 3.5grams, 1/4 7grams, Half ounce is 14 grams and an ounce is 28 grams. These are the exact measurements. I used to work in a bakery and people would buy an ounce of yeast which admittedly was only 30pence, but u would get 28g for 30p as thats an ounce. So when i pick up and its from a dealer i do not know i weigh in front of him and if its under even by 0.1 grams i will say, this means that next time i go to pick up ill get 3.5grams and not any less because i wont buy it if its under and so they know it had better be a proper 8th. I used to deal and it is a service and if i buy shit weed in or theres a drought and i can only get a little in i will still buy that little in at the normal price, maybe a little higher but nothing much but ill still sell an 8th at 3.5grams etc etc. You would go into a shop and buy a shitty t-shirt with holes in it for 50 pounds so why wud i or anyone buy shitty weed for probly more than that. You just have to say im not gonna buy that and say you want it exact or nothing and if they say theyre not gna sell it at 3.5 say ok then and then tell all ur mates and anyone you know that smokes weed to not pick up of them. In the end it's illegal and dealers can be pricks when it comes to selling weed as they wanna make money and you can make more money by pleasing your customers with good measurements as theyll tell theyre mates. I sold weed around my area and ended up selling to nearly everyone in my area and i know that 2 dealers went bust cos of it and i ended up buying their weed. It's the same as any business. Don't pick up shit weed from a dealer as theyll just keep giving you shit deals cos theyll no they can get away with it. Just confront them about it, or grow your own, at least you know what your getting then.

Sorry this is so long, i'm stoned and have realised im rabbitting on lol.

Good luck with picking up again dudes.
