    Question How many grams in an ounce? Have I been getting ripped off over the years?

    New poster. Bored at work and this article that I came across today got me thinking. At first I thought the post was going to be some joke or something for newbs, but it points out that an ounce of weed isn't just 28 grams it's actually 28.349523125 grams. So we've all been shorted .349523125 grams for every ounce we bought. That adds up. It's nearly half a gram, right.

    Sorta reminds me of that scheme in Office Space to put all those fractions of a cent into an account. But makes me wonder how much weed i'd have if i had that extra bit of weed each time i bought it.

    Do you think dispensaries put all those fractions of ounces in a bag and then sell them to us as budlets or shake or something? Or does nobody really care?

    Grow you own then and you won't need to worry about it unless you're paying more for a Kwh of electricity than their actually supplying

    Most dealers round my end sell a oz at 185 to 205.
    That's my electric bill for a grow for 3 months which I thinks not to bad. Might be less next year when the solar panels are up lol

    As bud says, grow your own & you don't have to worry about fractions

    I'd rip someones face off if I had bought a 25g oz.... Having said that, the majority of street weed is shit anyway, always best to grow your own, it's cheaper, and tastes sooo much better.

    Most don't know that an oz is slightly over 28 grams... but any good provider will add at least half a gram on the top of an oz, out of courtesy. In my experience at least. Not to say I haven't had my share of shitty deals haha.

    That said, there's really nothing to complain about here in terms of quality. I'd bet I could grow better though, glad I legally can

    Most weed sold on the street looks like trimming
