Meth How to convert to mg

[Thatchick]

Total newbie question I know. When people say take 25 mg, how do you convert it? I understand the concept of gram vs milligram. Do y'all use scales?

Not 100% I fully understand the question, but to convert mg's to grams you divide by 1000.

So to convert 25mg into grams: 25/1000 = .025 grams.

This 25mg is the same thing as .025g.

And .25g is 250mg etc.

I use scales alot for certain things, although I do alot of eyeballing for substances that aren't that potent and aren't particularly dangerous. For instance, I'd never weigh a line of cocaine.

I strongly recommend getting a scale that has a readability interval of 0.001g if you are going to IV meth or coke. Or anything for that matter. I slam coke on occasion and 2 points is about perfect. another .05g and I'm having a seizure.

Cheap 0.01g scales can be wildly inaccurate. I had one that said +-0.003, but was actually off by as much as 12mg sometimes when weighing stuff under 100mg. It could not weigh under 25mg very well at all.

Was it pretty accurate for 100mg?

If you can get 100mg very accurate, you could likely eyeball 25mg fairly well.

Yeah, and that's what I always ended up doing.

A scale is the only practical way to know the weight of something.
