12,480 grams / 28 = 445.71 ounces
445.71 / 35.2739619 = 12.6 kilos
12.6 kilos it is!
except that;
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
so 12,480 grams = 12.48 kg
the reason your sums didn't work out is that an ounce is actually 28.349523125 grams, if you redo your math with that figure it comes out right.
it's a sad and beautiful world

yeah i know, and it's probably still wet
Of course, being as a street eighth is generally 3.5g (3g 20 bags notwithstanding
) then a street oz
is 28g. It just tickled me to see the complicated maths to turn 12,480 grams into 12.6 kilos
it's a sad and beautiful world

Being that I've only started smoking regularly within the last year, and prior to that I only smoked on and off for 2 years I doubt it would be anymore than about 15 oz.... though that's a complete guess.

Most people I know are an OZ a week, would hate to think what my guy is on. Its probably why theres always droughts, greedy dealers.
