    What are you talking about with the weed? It’s sold in pounds, ounces, quarter ounces and “half quarters” which is as ridiculously un-metric as it gets.

      My theory on this is we use the imperial weights when describing the size in relation to the jail time associated with getting caught with it and then switch to metric for personal use.

      Sold in grams for small amounts, then back to Imperial for larger amounts.

          Yes, the very metric package sizes using multiples of 7.

            It doesn’t matter what the multiple is. It could be 28.35g exactly, it’s still metric because of the unit.

              Their point was that while it’s using metric, all the available sizes are based on imperial amounts.
