1/8th of what exactly? Is it an ounce? A pound?
I'm guessing an ounce.
What's funny for me is that in NZ, retail cannabis dealers typically work in units that start with monetary terms but then progress into imperial weight units.
So you can buy a foil/tinny ($20 - 25 worth), or a fifty bag ($50...), but after that you tend to start talking in terms of ounces - yeah mate, I'm after half an O, a couple of Os, etc.
And when you're you're buying from growers or wholesalers as a retail drug dealer, then you tend to work in pounds.
But then anyone measuring out a foil/fifty bag/half an O/an O/a pound will do so in grams. A foil is usually 0.9 - 1.2g, a fifty is 3 - 4g, half an O is well, half an ounce in grams (around 14g). Etc.
Meanwhile, methamphetamine has always been sold in metric, with the smallest unit available being a "point bag", 0.1g.
I always wonder if it's because cannabis culture in NZ predates the switch from imperial to metric that started in 1969 and finished up in 1976, whereas meth was very much a child of the definitely metric 90s.
