Building a simple scale

Ok, we can all agree scales are fairly important when taking any good amount of shrooms. I have never presicely weighed out a dose, until recently, and I recomend everybody does this, especially when giving a friend some.
Who wants to buy a scale just to trip on shrooms?
The answer: just make one!
I've been using a 2.5 gram standard for a while, this is how I make it.
Materials: -tape -a penny -a gatorade bottle cap -a book, or block of wood approx. 1 inch thick. -a piece of plastic or springy metal (flat)
So basically I tape the bottle cap to the flat piece of plastic, and tape the penny to the center of the bottle cap so it doesn't move around when I'm zero'ing the spring standard.
I then place the plastic on top of the book so that the bottlecap is hanging over the edge of the book, and make it so the bottom of the cap barely touches the flat surface the book is on.
Remove the penny after securing the plastic in the correct position.
This will measure 2.5 grams accurately. Simply fill the lid with material until the plastic sags to barely touch the flat surface, and you know that's 2.5 grams.
This needs pictures and clarification. Tek verson .9

I honestly think the whole thing sounds stupid. A letter weighing scale is like a dollar. Ghetto!

On a budget it isn't a bad idea, but if you can afford it, I got mine for like 25 at a little corner store that had them in a plastic case, thing is 2 years old and still going strong, I always just throw a dollar on it to see if it comes up to a gram to make sure it's accurate still.

Ghetto=Eating a random amount of drugs cause you don't have a weight standard. Weigh your drugs before consuming them this scale can be built in thirty seconds, and is accurate enough to use without worries when it comes to coke, shrooms, or weed, and is the simplest weight measuring device you can build ... plus, nobodies going to see that and yell "OMG Is that a DRUG SCALE???", in fact, this would fit in well with invitro stealth grows,...

I hadn't thought about the stealth aspect. Most of the folks I know have a unhidable fuckton of paraphanailia.

If you really have to DIY scale, just take a flat piece of wood or metal and balance it on some kinda edge Then you can put as many pennies (or whatever standard) as you want on one side and weigh out any amount you want by getting your scale back into balance

I don't know why I did it - think I was just bored, but I made a balance scale out of index cards once. I used coins as counterweights. Nickels to be exact.
