I don't believe buds are measured in TROY ounces...

read that, "A troy ounce (abbreviation: t oz) is equal to 480 grains. There are 12 troy ounces in a troy pound. Consequently, the international troy ounce is equal to about 31.103 476 grams."

this is what bud is measured in... just so people don't get mis-informed...

"An avoirdupois ounce is equal to 437.5 grains. There are 16 avoirdupois ounces in an avoirdupois pound. In 1958 the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations defined the mass of the international avoirdupois pound to be 0.453 592 37 kilograms. Consequently, since the definition of the international avoirdupois pound in 1958, the international ounce is defined to be equal to about 28.349 523 grams."

so if we want to get down to it, 3.5 g's technically is not an eigth...
