    What are you talking about with the weed? It’s sold in pounds, ounces, quarter ounces and “half quarters” which is as ridiculously un-metric as it gets.

      We used to just call that an eighth.

        Yes, but a metric eighth.

        Gosh, I wonder how many grams there are in a quarter ounce?

      Sold in grams for small amounts, then back to Imperial for larger amounts.

          Yes, the very metric package sizes using multiples of 7.

              Their point was that while it’s using metric, all the available sizes are based on imperial amounts.

        I don’t think I’ve seen a gram for sale since legalization. I see pre-rolls and half-quarters. Weighed in grams but packaged in imperial.

          1g prerolls are actually the only round-number metric sale I see.

            Right. I haven’t seen a 1g bag sold ever.

      My theory on this is we use the imperial weights when describing the size in relation to the jail time associated with getting caught with it and then switch to metric for personal use.

        I guess because no one buys 20 pounds of weed, but 20 grams is just fine…
