it was sold in imperial units because we were an imperial nation, and as kids we learned how to do fractions. and we had the coinage to support this; 1/2p is a 16th. a penny is an 8th, 2p was a small female (daughter) quarter.
the weights and measures act isnt applied to pot sellers... i suspect its because everyone seems to be using the digital scales which measure in grammes... drop a 2p on them, it ought to weigh 7g... one oz being 28g... oh yes, its 28 NOT 25...
and powders are sold by the milligramme... 1/2 a G of whatever is around 1/64th of an oz... our coins arent that small.
so ive heard anyway...

Because coke comes from Columbia and mdma is usually made in factories around Europe. Both of these places use g and kg etc. Weed usually comes from North Africa or Afghanistan both old English colonies that still use lbs and oz. My friend who is a police man said that it depends if you buy it from eastern Europeans ( g kg) or blacks and Asians (lb oz)

Good question! Maybe because you can't do much with a gram of MJ? Don't people ever say a kilo of pot? Or is it always X lbs or oz?
note to above: In what country do you refer to a "daughter quarter" ????

Probably for the same reason gold is sold in Troy ounces.

Depends on whether the dealer went to school in the UK or America. Or if they were educated on the continent.

Buckcherry sells albums? rather? haha. Buckcherry sucks, yeah, yet i in my opinion do not think of you would be able to desire to rigidity approximately that band coming in and taking up the music marketplace. Why do those bands which you indexed sell? because of the fact human beings like them and are uncovered to them on a familiar foundation. that's the radio and music television stations that are afraid to take the dangers and reveal the ordinary public to different music accessible. accountable the record labels is ridiculous as those labels sign acts like against Me! and The Flaming Lips for a reason, they prefer them to pass directly to sell hundreds of thousands of albums. yet one element to think of approximately is the area of interest markets that the bands you suggested have. might the punk rock young ones nonetheless like against Me! in the event that they went directly to strengthen into the subsequent green Day and sell out stadiums international extensive? in all probability not. might the alt-rock hipsters like attending a Ryan Adams stay overall performance alongside Bon Jovi followers? the folk in those area of interest markets like listening to music that is going against the grain, music that may not "mainstream" and whilst it ever does strengthen into nicely-known they often abandon deliver.
