Weight, and volume are different........something could be relatively hollow yet still have a fairly large external volume. Don't think your gonna be able to figure it up with a measurrng cup.

Possibly if they were finely chopped or cutt, to get the air out of them for a more precise measure.

A level tablespoon would be about 1g.  I don't have a scale, haven't weighed a dose in a year at least.

You can jerry-rig a scale using a coathanger and string.

See how many 100mg vitamin capsules are equal to whatever you're weighing.

P.S. Buy a scale :smile:

This won't work, the tablets may contain 100mg of vitamins but will also contain several hudred mg of filler.
Definetely buy a scale.

... use a nickel it weighs 5g, wire coat hanger 2 baggies 2 paperclips. if you wish to dose under 5g make sure the nickel is lower, if you wish to dose above then ofcourse reverse the situation. ect ect. i dont know the weight of a dime but im sure its online someplace and might work better. also a dollar bill weighs 1g but youd want to fold it up about the size of a nickel so it balances right.

Personally, if I didn't have a scale available, I would postpone my trip to a time in which one was available. I usually have a mind set in how high I wanna get and with a scale you can pretty much get yourself to that ideal destination. Without one, you'll either end up being pissed off that you're not as high as you want to be, or be way higher then you intended to be curled up on the floor trying to comprehend where you are and what the hell has happened to you.

Well, when I said dry, I meant cracker dry and powdered.
I like the balancing idea with a nickel.

i was told that 1 level tablespoon of powdered mushrooms is about 1g.  personally this seems about right to me.
try the coathanger idea if you in a pinch.  also if your in canada try using any dollar bill as weight. what i mean is that a $5, $10, and $20 all weigh exactly 1.0g. ive weighted this myself.  im not sure about 50's or 100's (i dont have that kind of $$ around :smile: )
