Why is it you buy kilos of coke, but ounces/pounds of weed? Sure you can use any measurement you want, but the standard is pretty much coke = metric, pot = english.

I don't know, but metric makes much more sense and is a lot easier.

its called imperial, noob.

Us British use S.I units (meters, kilometers, grams, kg etc).

Americans use imperial and favour it over over metric (i.e feet and inches).

I'm not not sure why bud is in imperial, but over here we buy the shit in bars (~9oz or 250g) - 4 bars to a kg.
