Like, a gram of weed, or just a gram in general? More precisely, whose gram?

Probably not weed. Where is weed sold in single gram increments? At least in the US, the most common increment is 3.5 g which is also an eighth of an ounce.
Ohhhhhh, British Columbian and ex professional here on this one.
Personal “bulk” sales are usually some in 1/8ths (3.5 grams) or more but in stores, the first page of their lil booklet is usually half or full gram pre rolled joints.
Admittedly, for what it’s worth, first time I saw this meme in the wild was at a pot shop while buying a pre rolled gram.
You are either young or have middle class dealers. In 2007, you definitely did buy weed by the gram, and hydroponic stuff could be $20-$30 per gram in some areas if supply was scarce. Of course, places with competition had better prices, but some rural areas really price gouged.
Ghetto dealers often sold bags by the price alone. $10 was usually 2 grams to an 8th of either backyard weed or Mexican weed that often had little bits of twine and the occasional Hispanic hair in it from when it was put in a bale and taken across the border. Some dealers would also sell nickel bags ($5) that was .75 to 1 gram—basically just enough for one blunt.
I have been glad that I’ve gotten to see the weed industry evolve heavily over my lifetime, and I know that I only see about 20 years of it. I’m sure the old heads from the 70’s would have real stories to tell. In the words of Bill Burr, “you used to buy your weed by the pillowcase.”
$30 a gram?!? I was paying $35 for 1/8ths of top shelf stuff in the rural western US in 2007. Then again, the rural west is where all the good stuff was grown pre-legalization.
The struggle was real, and there was a lot of variance in prices back then. $30 was in Denton, Texas where they knew they had a captive audience. It was cheaper in Dallas, and much cheaper in Austin.
As they say in real estate, “location, location, location!”
For what it’s worth, I didn’t pay that price very often—I’m no rube, lol.
Perhaps the people that don’t live in the US?
Lol wherever high-school kids and budget minded people buy weed. That is where you buy in gr increments. Also any store I have ever been in has sold grams.
I had to look at the community name before I realized this was about unit conversions and not that alien sticky.
EDIT: I checked the original community it was posted in. Some scientists here have been doing a little experimentation for their thesis.
I’m like y’all scientists asking the real questions
I didn’t realize it until reading your comment.
About three fiddy, but it’s mostly shake.
“We use the same word for all units.”
“Oh, you’re British!”
“About tree fiddy”
how dare you. We do not sell our elders
In Contact (I can’t remember if the movie, book, or both), they counted out things in terms plank lengths and quarks / leptons.
h = 6.626 070 15 x 10–32 kg m2 s–1.
Ah yes… the ol’ Planck approach, I like it!
Gram? What? Drugs are legal here we measure that by the Ton.
Anyway that’s how the first intergalactic war on Drugs was started and space cocaine was made a schedule one.
Isn’t space cocaine also the secret to immortality?
Not in my propaganda it’s not!
What planet are we weighing on, fam?
80 if you’re polite
80 potatoes
