1 kilogram = 35.2739619 ounces
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.

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

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.
