Ok so I don't have mg scales or anything but I was just wondering what 1mg of pure powder looks like? Can someone give me a comparison; or even better a picture with like a penny (or whatever) next to it would be awesome...

Thanks,
JåH
 
weight is different from volume. 1mg of lead would look alot different from 1mg of oxygen (as an extreme example). If you dont have a scale, dont try to make eyeball measurements. UTSE and look for mg/ml measuring methods, those are going to be the most accurate (assuming you have a reasonable idea of how much you have) otherwise, if you can afford drugs, you can afford a scale.
 
1mg of just normal powder... it doesn't really matter what kind of powder it is but for the sake of it lets just say flour..... I realize its hard to explain but if someone could give a good example or estimate, that would be good...

lick the end of a toothpick to get it wet. barely touch it to the powder, now touch it back to your tongue. not the best measurement way, but it will work for ya.
 
About like this-0

Just do a liquid measure. Even milligram scales will weigh anything between .5 and 1.5 milligrams as one milligram.
 
I guess the grain of sand is an okay comparison... Is a grain of sugar about the same size as a grain of sand?


so its basically literally about the size of an "0" on the computer screen.? i just know everyone has different resolutions.
 
yeah, I wouldn't use something on the computer screen as resolutions are different, and even with the same resolution, if a monitor is a different size, the resolution is still gonna be a little off.

I'm telling you, without a wicked expensive scale (to me they are) your best bet is to lick the end of a toothpick to get it moist and then touch it to your powder. then just suck on that end of the toothpick.
 
you are not going to measure out a pure substance to anywhere close to exactly 1 mg. get a scale or cut it.
 
This should be closed.

Agreed.
Different substances have different relative densities. There is no way we could possibly provide you with accurate answer in fact it may even be dangerous.

Agreed. Especially the stuff that needs to be weighed on a milligram level. If you use the end of a toothpick 10 or 20 times and you're slightly off each time, you could end up dangerously far off the mark with such a substance.

Get scales.
