You must not be very experienced with drugs lol.

Both systems are used for both drugs.

Coke is sold in grams(metric), but also in 8-balls(1/8 oz), quarters, ounces, etc.

Weed is also sold in grams, as well as ounces/fractions of an ounce.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74785112

Any idiot can put drugs on a scale and look at the number. It doesn't take any amount of intelligence to remember that 3.5g=1/8oz.

Grams are used for small amounts, fractions of an ounce and ounces are used for larger amounts.

I didn't know that an 8 ball is American standard version

I never heard of a gram of weed. Not in America. Maybe in crazy Canada.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74785112

People buy grams of weed all the time, especially in high school. It's the smallest amount of weed most dealers will sell you.

But since weed is cheap, people tend to buy in higher amounts such as hal-ounces, ounces, etc. Coke is so expensive that it's much more common to buy a gram.

Simple, it would be difficult to always have to weigh out a gram of coke in ounces or an ounce of pot in grams.

Also America didn't invent the system of ounces, pounds, pints, quarts, etc. It's a British system known as Imperial.

It's also an inferior system, and most of the world has switched to Metric by now.

Here's a classic article about this very topic:


WASHINGTON, DC–Despite other academic shortcomings, inner-city youths possess a firmer grasp of the metric system than their peers in suburban and rural areas, according to a Department Of Education study released Monday.

"While the typical teen has only a vague notion of what a kilogram is, teens in the Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago and the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles were thoroughly familiar with this unit of metric measurement," said Ira Danielson, the researcher who spearheaded the study. "They were able to identify a kilogram of weight by merely tossing it back and forth in their hands."

For petty purchases, it is measured in grams(metric), while for large scale purchases it is measured in American standard.

For small purchases(poor people purchases), who have less education, the metric system is used. For larger purchases of Cannabis, by people who have more money and are more likely to have college degrees, they use American Standard.

So you have it arse backwards...
