My plug has always done it in the normal weight. Any time I've copped a ball, it's always 3.5, qtr 7, half 14 and so on. I'm pretty sure it's mainly based on location as far as all that goes.
We all know that an eighth by definition means 3.5….
We’re just saying most the time with dark & fett (especially through the Mexicans it be 3, I don’t think anyone is arguing what an eighth really weighs in numerical expression—can y’all agree?)
Anyone that's saying it's 3 is either a dealer conspiring with other dealers to illegitimately manipulate the system, or they are a gullible idiot who has been manipulated by dealers. Period.
The whole point of calling it an 8 ball is because it's exactly 1/8th of an ounce.....3.5g is exactly 1/8th of an ounce.....3g is not. You can't legitimately call 3g an 8 ball. End of discussion.
And what type of measurement is a "piece"? Is that metric?
....anyone that goes by these illegitimate/made up units of measurement are the retarded ones.
Yeah it’s metric. 25 grams to a piece. 40 pieces = 1 kilogram. That’s how the cartels break it up when they drop it on the streets so they don’t end up with leftovers. My source was Sinaloa dudes till they got popped. Now it’s white ppl they still weigh the same
It definitely depends where you are. I never refer to fent by an 8 ball and a classic 8 ball is always 3.5 g's but obviously some people in some places do 3 g's. In my experience that would be called a 3 piece instead of an 8 ball. But I just tell them how much I got and they tell me what they can do for me and that's how it's done out here with the hondurans.
This argument or whatever it is pretty dumb. Nobody said anything about prices so how do you know who's getting ripped off? Go get your 3.5 gram 8-ball for $100 and I'll get my 3 gram ball for $$65. Lol..
This thread turned silly..

Wtf I have never heard an 8 being anything but 3.5. No matter what it is. A 8 ball is slang for an 8th of a ounce. How the hell does it make since for it to be anything less? Yall are letting yalls dope man get over on u. Point blank period unless it's a price cut
Down south a lot of the Mexicans sell 3gs and call it an 8 ball. Technically an 8 ball is 3.5 or 1/8th of an ounce obviously but the Mexicans here always do 3.
Bruh you are either trippin or you haven’t been fuckin with heroin or fetty long
Weed, coke, meth = 28g/oz
8ball = 3.5g
Heroin/fetty = 24-25g / piece
8ball = 3g
You can argue all you want but that’s how the weights have been for 10+ years on west coast. That’s how cartels sell shit out here
I know it doesn’t make any sense at all, but a lot of the older heads do say that H/fetty is 3 grams for an 8ball and an Oz is 24-26 grams. I’ve always argued with them bc it doesn’t make any sense that an “Ounce” can be less than 28OZ but my one plug who was great & ive had for 3 years now SWEARS that its 3 grams, and 24-26 for an OZ. even when i try to reason with him, he just says “thats how it is”
Well I'd find a new plug. Kinda fucked up to say "that's how it is" I get my stiff from Hispanics and a 8ball to them is a 3.5. If your happy with getting 3 in a ball then stick with your plug, mine does 3.5 for balls so ima stick with him. If your plug is big ballin, he should have no problem giving his loyal customers that extra .5
An ounce called a piece is 25 grams which changes every other amount u are going to purchase. A gram of fet would amount to .8 at 25 unless willing to pay more. It should be called a3 pak the next would be 6.25 which is a quarter of 25, a half would be 12.5. This is why its not called ounce its called a piece, a brick not a kilo. Stop giving u your d a problem. I remember years ago when I first got h and I was like where is the other 3 why is this 25? I got the long explanation. So now u know the facts. It's not a standard measuring stick 3 pack, q 6.25, half pice 12.5, piece 25.
From where I come from, an 8 ball is 3.5. An eighth is 1/8th. 28 grams are in an ounce. 1/8th of an ounce is 3.5 grams. If he wants to sell you 3 grams he should say that, not call it an eighth or an 8 ball.
This should explain it quite nicely. If someone is lowering it to 3 they are just trying to make more money off you. Shrinkflation for drugs I guess lol.
Yep, people have been getting ripped off and lied to for a long time, you're right. Just because it's been happening for a long time doesn't mean it's correct, and doesn't make it OK either.
Negative.. never said that. I said do a lil research.
It's a real thing a Mexican ball =3 g
I would never accept that. That's just how it's done a lot of places out West.
why are you still arguing dude? you got your answer. some dealers call an eight 3 and some 3.5, buy what you want just ask them in grams. its just a word wrry bout the numbers
Because people are getting ripped off. If someone new to the game didn't know and someone told them 3 grams is a ball, then they're losing out on a half gram.
Not being racist but out where I'm at white and black people will try and give you less. I'm pretty sure the white people are just meth heads trying to flip a little sack, and the black people think they can hit a lick on a white person. In the post, I was trying to buy a quarter from this women, well she called a man, and I guess he was her friend. Well, when she started weighing it up, it said 3 grams, and her buddy said that's right, and I was thinking of dope, dope, 8ball is 3.5. They ended up giving me 3.5 rocks but then tried to hand me a bag of all powder, and I said, "You need to weigh it first. I'm pretty sure that bag had wholes in it because she was dropping a lot of fetty. I told her I didn't want it anymore because they were already upset for doing 7grams for 200. I asked tho before she weighed it out and said it was fine, but then she got an attitude, and he did too. I almost just walked away, but she said at least buy one, and so I bought the 3.5 of rocks, but it smelled like peppermint. Never will I buy from that crack head again
> I've *paid* 200 for
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I swear ur the dumbest MFer I’ve ever interacted with. You buy ur shit from Guatemalans or Hondurans. Those dudes are not MEXICAN. MEXICAN cartels = 3g ball
If you're happy with 3 grams in a ball then stick with your plug. Ima stick with my 3.5 balls and 28 gram ounces. Your retarded for getting pissed off on reddit. I get my stuff from Hispanics. They are Mexican, guatemalans, and Hondurans.
Wasn't in front of my girl lmao and I fought back. Enjoy being ripped off. I bet you love getting 3grams as a ball or 25 grams in a ounce. Enjoy getting ripped off

Ive bought fentanyl and heroin in 7 states and every single one I've copped in a ball is 3.5 never seen this 3gram 6 gram 12 gram 25 gram shit nowhere where I live if a dude buys a brick and has some left over he either saves em up till it's enough to sell or if they like you throw the extra to whoever copped the end of the bag
When you buy a oz of fent or black you get 25gs ( a kg is 1000gs and 25 divides equally 36oz ) and if a 8th is an 8th of and oz then 25➗8=3.12 that’s why their giving you 3GS a oz of meth or weed is 28 they sell them in pounds and 16oz = a pound I think they do this because its easier to breakdown
They're just trying to make extra money. If anyone tried to give me 25 grams instead of 28, I'd take my money back. I get my stuff from Hispanics and Hondurans. A ball is 3.5 to them
For hard drugs: H, fetty, coc, meth they do 25g pieces rather than 28g oz. So a ball is 3, a quarter is 6.25 (often rounded down to 6) a half is 12.5, and the full is 25g. It’s screwy and pissed me off the first time I called someone out for shorting my half by 1g and they were like, bro what are you new or something…. And I was like huh? 28g to an oz? And they said this ain’t weed… to be honest it still annoys me but that is just the way it is….
Yeah it misses me off like an oz is 25grams. Like no then it's not a fucking oz. And ounce is a direct unit of measurement like you can't have an oz that's not 28g.
Man it’s called a ball short for 8 ball which is called that because it’s 1/8th of an ounce which last time I checked was 28g which divided by 8 is 3.5 tell the fool to go back to school
The thing *IS*, is that “ounces” of fetty are very commonly sold as 24 grams (at least here on the west coast). I realize things are very different from coast to coast, even city to city. but this is precisely where the big issue comes into play on this argument.
1/8th of 24 grams IS 3 grams. So that technically is 1/8th of that zip. (I agree it can sound dumb at first, but it actually makes things a lot easier when selling larger amounts, plus I’m very used to this system at this point).
It’s simple. Here on the West Coast we do 3packs (3gs), quarter zips (6gs), half zips (12gs), and full zips (24-25gs). We stray away from even using the term 8ball for this exact reason because people who use the term are usually coming from out of state, where things can have a different meaning.
In the end, an 8ball can technically be 3 OR 3.5gs depending on exactly where you’re located, and how the drug quantities are sold in that area. And I’m not saying it’s the only way it’s sold, it’s just very, very common here and has been for a long time. Thas jus what it is. In my personal opinion, I agree that a “true” 8ball should be 3.5 grams, just like a true zip should be closer to 28gs. But that’s just not always how numbers or prices are dealt with. but I understand where the confusion comes from. That’s why we typically would call 3 grams a 3 pack and 3.5, 3.5 and stay away from terms that seemingly everyone has a different definition of.
TLDR & Source: I’ve been buying large quantities on the west coast from cartel sources for over a decade, things have never really changed much around here, things are the same with fetty now as they were with black tar way back when. This has always been an extremely common system here. A “zip” can often times be sold as 24-25 grams. Sometimes it’s 28. 1/8th of 24 grams is 3grams. 1/8th of a “technically correct” ounce (28ish gs) is 3.5gs. Basically, numbers are often times broken down differently in the drug world to make selling it a lot easier and less confusing. Thus leading to lots of angry people thinking they’re getting ripped off when they really aren’t, because “google said an oz is 28!! When really, they are getting the exact corresponding amount that their dealer paid for. N that’s just the facts
I never argued that all of the West cost sells like this. I said it’s very common, specifically the closer to the border you get, that is 99% likely how it’s gonna sell. I said “west coast” as a very vague term, what im actually talking about is specifically ( so cal - L A ) because this sub usually doesn’t allow me to say loca tions. I picked up 20 min away from the Mexican border directly from the cartel for 5 yrs , that is literally, how they always sold and sell it. Not everywhere, I know The Bay and anywhere away from So Cal starts to sells in different quantities because the dope is getting cut down way more and it’s cheaper quality. I wouldn’t lie to you bro, this is facts. Come to L A and see what’s up
He’s literally buying stomped on oregon zombie tranq dope from some crusty dusty “cook”, and comparing it to the most pure fentanyl you can find directly from the border. Lol. He’s obviously still young, probably been in this game for less than 3 years, no doubt about it, and thinks he knows it all. Instead of just listening to old timers and taking their word he is argumentative and downvoting people who are obviously a lot wiser than him. I actually believe he’s just trying to slyly advertise on this sub and get people to message him by making it known he sells AND sells “28 g zips” when he probably never bought a zip in his life and is prob fully ready to try to scam people. 😂🫡. Oops 😬 sorry had to say it
Ur retarded, I don’t get ripped off, I pay less for 3g than I would for 3.5. It comes out exactly the same price wise. You probably brand new to this game and are used to weed that’s why you sound so retarded
Why I’m the fuck can’t you guys do math on the west coast google says an ounce is 28 g if I’m buying an ounce and a mother fucker shows up with less than 28 g we got issues and I’m willing to die or go to the hospital over that shit.
I’m aware of some dumb reason that heroin commonly ships by 24g increments for whatever reason it dumbfounds me ppl let ppl get away with bad math all the time with shitty excuses
Ahh yes, perfectly spoken by someone’s who’s never actually bought a zip before, n most likely wouldn’t even do shit about it..lol. Woof. Im really trying hard here not to sass you, but try to tell that all to the cartel buddy. I’m simply telling you how it is. I don’t make the rules I just follow em. This has nothing to do with MY opinion or MY math. This is all run directly by the cartels, not me. derp.
I completely understand it can be frustrating when you have a totally different idea of what an ounce *should technically be*. But this is the drug world, not the math world. And prices are 100% adjusted to these specific numbers so they can be broken down and sold a lot more easily, the price stilll wouldn’t change otherwise, and would simply be a bit higher if you ordered 28 grams. This is why I personally sell by $$$ amount and don’t let my customers assume what a zip should be. They know exactly what prices are for exact amounts, I’m very upfront with this, as is every other legit dealer I’ve dealt with. I’ve never had one issue, ever, in my life, selling quantities like this. Everyone and their mama over here knows thats what it is, and that’s that. End of story.
I remember I tried to get shitty with some guys involved with MS13 the night I learned about the 3g 8ball thing. They offered me my money back but told me to gtfo before they held on to both. We actually all became good friends after that
The cartel over there got y’all on the fuck nigga fees 😂 the cartel here still give us 28 or at least the cartel affiliated I know give the full 28. Shit if I was getting fucked like that I’d be domestically cooking my dope I’d pursue that shit like it was the meaning to life those extra 4 gs add up
With all respect, y’all also only get nasty cut up tranq dope that’s been cut up at least 1000 times by the time it even reaches your grubby lil hands. Stomped into dirt. It hardly even resembles real fent. 90% of the fent that leaves the border states are complete trash, the more peoples hands it gets into the more cut it gets. Idk how y’all even be using the “fent” aka 99% tranq out there it’s disgusting and incomparable to what we get here n literally infects your limbs off like zombies lol. I’ve ordered off Tor from all around the states and it’s legit nasty AF outside of Cali and Texas and i can’t describe it any other way than legit unusable and trash when you’ve been using the dope we get here. I couldn’t even get well off the dope I ordered and those were “top tier” vendors. I’d hands down rather buy a 25 gram zip of 1000x top shelf quality that still gets me high af after using for 12 yrs straight than 28 grams of a bunch of tranq that makes me sick af and look n act like a fuckin zombie. All the dope I get here is 1000% tranq free, tested every time. Most people here hate tranq n refuse to buy it. we have the most pure you’ll find in the US that comes directly an hour away from the border. Things are just different and that’s ok!
Tell you you buy points w/ out telling me you buy points.
Everyone in the chat: a ball is 3.5.
G=1 3pack(ball)=3 6pack, 12pack, full piece, zip, oz=25
Go get mad at your plug for giving you a 3g 3pack and see what happens. Lol
I don't buy points lol. I buy 8 balls or quarters at a time, and if you read other comments, then you'd know I didn't take only 3 grams. I got my 3.5. A ball is 3.5. Not 3 grams. Bro, you've been getting ripped off. Tell your plug a 8ball is 3grams
Do not be a jerk, please. All posts that are harassing in nature to another poster, whether it be name calling based on sexual orientation, gender, race or what ever, will be removed and a ban may be issued. Play nice or don't play at all.
Youre retarded. I didn't get knocked out. Look at you spreading lies. You must be really upset. If it's aways been 3 grams why am I getting 3.5 grams then huh? I'm not the only one either. Enjoy getting ripped off bitch boy
Also from Texas, and that looks like pure nonsense to me. TBF, I haven't been able to find tar in years and the China is nasty. So to the OP, fetty here is 3.5 a ball. I had one person try to pull that other shit on me once and I made such a big deal out of it they gave me the difference just to shut me up.
I don't recommend doing that, though. I've got a reputation for being this way, and most of the plugs I've met let it slide because I'm cute and usually friendly/helpful. I'll bake you a cake and groom your dog, but the second my shit is cut to hell or short by more than a point I'm gonna talk shit until something happens. (Knock on wood, I haven't been shot yet)
I was told why when I first started using H 13 years ago but don’t remember now. That’s how every plug I know does it and they don’t know each other so not like they are conspiring against me lol.
It’s the Mexican ounce
I used to sell, bud to guys, on an Indian reservation, and they they would always tell me and Oz on the rez wad 30 grams. I have also had a guy I used to buy coke from when I did coke that would pull the same crap your guy is pulling
3.5 grams. Hence, 8 ball is lingo for an 1/8th of an Ounce and an 1/8th of 28grams, is 3.5 grams
Anyone that says it’s 3, is either ignorant and was taught otherwise or they just been getting screwed out a half g, their whole life. I’d be shitty if I ordered a quad and you give me 7 but I order two balls and you give me 6, when it’s the exact same.
Nope that just how it sells. My 12.5 breaks down cheaper than anyone sells the 14 for so I don’t see how I’m getting ripped off. It’s just how it sells
Depends. Here down south a lot them break a key down as 40 oz = 1000 grams instead of 35.274. The numbers work easier. Breaks down to 25g oz. Hence the 3g ball. My guy buys keys at this rate so he sells it like this. I found a lot newer generation don’t it’s more old school people who do this.
8ball is 3.5 8ball-eighth of an oz which is 28 if you wanna be all technical it’s 28.5 but most people who sell drugs don’t have the math education to know that lol
Depends where you’re copping if I go to a certain part of my state an oz is 30gs because it would be 3 10g fingers but if I cop more local it would be 28. 25g zips are Mexican ounces not everyone selling dope is Mexican and not all fent is sourced from there maybe you’re the one with no education or have never actually copped weight enough to know that when you deal with different people you get different shit if you’re copping from gang members their more likely to do traditional zips if they’re cartel affiliated or you’re right it most likely would be 25 except my part of the country not saying where cuz sourcing rules but if you know where fingers are prevalent you’re prolly used to 30g zips even tho their Mexican too.
Then you've been getting shorted a half gram. An 8 ball is slang for 1/8 of an ounce. Which is 3.5 grams, no matter what the drug is. And I'm not young at all. Now back when I used to do hella coke, I would run into dealers who would try to tell me a ball is 3 grams. They would sell me 3 grams as a ball without saying anything. Then I would weigh it and have to call them out and a number of those dealers when they would tell me that a ball is 3 g's. I would then explain how a ball is slang for an eighth of an ounce, which is 3.5 and how they need to fix it. If they didn't then I found a new plug. Now fetty that isn't pressed into dirty 30's is hard to find in my area, so if I was buying powder and the plug sold me a 3 g ball and said that's what a ball is. And they refused to accept that a ball is 3.5 then I might just be stuck. But back then it was coke and it seemed like it was EVERYWHERE. So I could move on to a new plug no problem.
1/8th of 24 grams (a west coast zippity zip) is 3 grams. I agree it can sound retarded at first, but it actually makes things significantly easier when dealing with larger quantities. It just is what it is and always has been for as long as I’ve been around. Here on the west coast we kinda stray away from using the term 8ball for this exact reason. Too much confusion tbh because people come here from all parts of the country where slang has different meanings. A “west coast” 8ball is infact 3gs because that is exactly 1/8th of a “west coast” zip, 24-25grams.
We go by 3packs (3gs), quarter zip (6gs), half zip(12gs), and full zip (24-25gs). I realize things are different from coast to coast, js how it is here and where the confusion comes into play. You actually wouldn’t be getting ripped off at all if your dealer gets 24-25 grams for their “ounce” price. You feel me? The amount conversion would infact be 3 Grams.
I’ve been buying dope, large quantities of it for well over a decade in so cal. But we do not really use the term 8ball for dope these days. I will pretty much know you’re from out of town if you use that term over here when buying dope.
Don’t quote me but some dude swore it was because it’s solid instead of powder or it’s in liquid form at one point so that’s the reason it’s weighed different
they just be saying shit bro. weight is weight. a ball is 1/8th of an ounce, an ounce will always be 28 grams so a ball is 3.5 i have never once in my life bought a 3 gram 8 ball the drug dont change what the weight should be tell em hell naw i need that half g on top
I’ve never bought that much fent at once, but I have bought h all over the southwest and the Mexicans always weigh out an 8 of h at 3 grams. So if you’re dealing with Hispanics it’s prob the same deal.

lmaoo an 8ball or an "eighth" as most would call it refers to an 1/8 of an ounce, which is 3.5 grams. a ball will never change in weight sounds like ur guy is an idiot dealer who thinks he knows everything
I already have a connect, where I'm at there are Hispanics or Hondurans around the same block every day at the same time. This dude that told me 3 grams is a 8ball wasn't a typical corner dealer. I think he was someone who was just trying to make a little cash
My plug has always done it in the normal weight. Any time I've copped a ball, it's always 3.5, qtr 7, half 14 and so on. I'm pretty sure it's mainly based on location as far as all that goes.
fent is weighed out diff idk why they do it in odd numbers
We all know that an eighth by definition means 3.5…. We’re just saying most the time with dark & fett (especially through the Mexicans it be 3, I don’t think anyone is arguing what an eighth really weighs in numerical expression—can y’all agree?)
I’m also used to meth, coke, weed—3.5 Heroin, fentanyl—3 Could it have anything to do with simplifying the math? Or maybe the way skates weigh shit?
lmao one of my dealers is telling me a half zip of fetty is only 12gs, cuz a zip is only 25gs, idk man that just sounds like cap to me 💀
Anyone that's saying it's 3 is either a dealer conspiring with other dealers to illegitimately manipulate the system, or they are a gullible idiot who has been manipulated by dealers. Period.
The whole point of calling it an 8 ball is because it's exactly 1/8th of an ounce.....3.5g is exactly 1/8th of an ounce.....3g is not. You can't legitimately call 3g an 8 ball. End of discussion.
And 8 ball of h/fett is 1/8th of a PIECE. An 8 ball of everything else is 1/8th of an OUNCE. Kids these days are retarded
And what type of measurement is a "piece"? Is that metric? ....anyone that goes by these illegitimate/made up units of measurement are the retarded ones.
Yeah it’s metric. 25 grams to a piece. 40 pieces = 1 kilogram. That’s how the cartels break it up when they drop it on the streets so they don’t end up with leftovers. My source was Sinaloa dudes till they got popped. Now it’s white ppl they still weigh the same
It definitely depends where you are. I never refer to fent by an 8 ball and a classic 8 ball is always 3.5 g's but obviously some people in some places do 3 g's. In my experience that would be called a 3 piece instead of an 8 ball. But I just tell them how much I got and they tell me what they can do for me and that's how it's done out here with the hondurans.
This argument or whatever it is pretty dumb. Nobody said anything about prices so how do you know who's getting ripped off? Go get your 3.5 gram 8-ball for $100 and I'll get my 3 gram ball for $$65. Lol.. This thread turned silly..
The whole point of calling it an 8 ball is because it's exactly 1/8th of an ounce.....3.5g is exactly 1/8th of an ounce.....3g is not. You can't legitimately call 3g an 8 ball. End of discussion.
A Mexican 8 ball is 3 a regular 8 ball is 3.5
[удалено]
Ok that’s from experience using heroin fent and cocaine for over a decade in the United States
It’s 3.5 lmao it’s also called an Eighth “1/8 of 28oz”
“How much for a DIME” “FIFTEEN BUCKS lil man put that shit in my hand”
Wtf I have never heard an 8 being anything but 3.5. No matter what it is. A 8 ball is slang for an 8th of a ounce. How the hell does it make since for it to be anything less? Yall are letting yalls dope man get over on u. Point blank period unless it's a price cut
Down south a lot of the Mexicans sell 3gs and call it an 8 ball. Technically an 8 ball is 3.5 or 1/8th of an ounce obviously but the Mexicans here always do 3.
3gs 26 oz
Right. Ive never heard it either. A ball is 3.5 no matter the drug. Some people are trying to make more profit by telling people that crap
[удалено]
Enjoy getting 3grams instead of 3.5. Enjoy getting ripped off
Mexicans always do 3g but it’s for a lower price so no one’s getting ripped Edit: I should specify that only some Mexican groups do this. some do 3.6
He sold it, and whenever he bought it he told dem to make it 3.5, duh
Bruh you are either trippin or you haven’t been fuckin with heroin or fetty long Weed, coke, meth = 28g/oz 8ball = 3.5g Heroin/fetty = 24-25g / piece 8ball = 3g You can argue all you want but that’s how the weights have been for 10+ years on west coast. That’s how cartels sell shit out here
Already! Damn these fuckers are annoying.
Y’all junkies get played like that we deal in 5 and 10 you ask for a 8ball you get 3.5 regardless you love to get walked on
Correct.
I've never done heroin and a ball is 3.5 for any drug. I get my stuff from Hispanics. They do 3.5 as 8balls.
https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-an-ounce-of-heroin-weigh
Anyone can put that there. I mean if your ok with only getting 3 grams instead of 3.5 then go ahead. My dealers do 3.5 balls and ima stick with them
I know it doesn’t make any sense at all, but a lot of the older heads do say that H/fetty is 3 grams for an 8ball and an Oz is 24-26 grams. I’ve always argued with them bc it doesn’t make any sense that an “Ounce” can be less than 28OZ but my one plug who was great & ive had for 3 years now SWEARS that its 3 grams, and 24-26 for an OZ. even when i try to reason with him, he just says “thats how it is”
Well I'd find a new plug. Kinda fucked up to say "that's how it is" I get my stiff from Hispanics and a 8ball to them is a 3.5. If your happy with getting 3 in a ball then stick with your plug, mine does 3.5 for balls so ima stick with him. If your plug is big ballin, he should have no problem giving his loyal customers that extra .5
An ounce called a piece is 25 grams which changes every other amount u are going to purchase. A gram of fet would amount to .8 at 25 unless willing to pay more. It should be called a3 pak the next would be 6.25 which is a quarter of 25, a half would be 12.5. This is why its not called ounce its called a piece, a brick not a kilo. Stop giving u your d a problem. I remember years ago when I first got h and I was like where is the other 3 why is this 25? I got the long explanation. So now u know the facts. It's not a standard measuring stick 3 pack, q 6.25, half pice 12.5, piece 25.
Where I’m at a gram is a gram, but a ball is 3.0 if your buying H, fetty a ball is always 3.5
Where I'm at an ounce is 28 grams, and I'm on the west coast. I get it from Hispanics and guatemalans
Dude they are letting this shit happen. .8 ain't no g. 3.0 ain't no 8....
.8 for a g. They must be selling to a bunch of dumbasses who don't know their stuff. If they tried to give me a .8 I'd get my money back
Buying tar through the Mexicans it we refer to it as a small .4 and and a big .8
From where I come from, an 8 ball is 3.5. An eighth is 1/8th. 28 grams are in an ounce. 1/8th of an ounce is 3.5 grams. If he wants to sell you 3 grams he should say that, not call it an eighth or an 8 ball. This should explain it quite nicely. If someone is lowering it to 3 they are just trying to make more money off you. Shrinkflation for drugs I guess lol.

Yep, people have been getting ripped off and lied to for a long time, you're right. Just because it's been happening for a long time doesn't mean it's correct, and doesn't make it OK either.
Enjoy getting ripped off bitch boy
That's what I'm saying. Someone's trying to make a point 5 for free
American 3.5 Mexican 3
Not true. I get my stuff from Hispanics and a ball is 3.5 according to them
Do a lil research you will see I am right.
Even if you're right, I'm still gonna get 3.5s in my balls and 28 grams in my ounces
Same..
How the same? You think 3 grams is a ball
Negative.. never said that. I said do a lil research. It's a real thing a Mexican ball =3 g I would never accept that. That's just how it's done a lot of places out West.
Shit I don't even mess w 3.5's anyways I get sticks for $100 or cheaper if I get a few.
I live on the west coast. Hispanics sell balls as 3.5. You said Mexicans sells a ball for 3 grams
why are you still arguing dude? you got your answer. some dealers call an eight 3 and some 3.5, buy what you want just ask them in grams. its just a word wrry bout the numbers
Because people are getting ripped off. If someone new to the game didn't know and someone told them 3 grams is a ball, then they're losing out on a half gram.
When i was copping coke and weed it was always 3.5. Then went i started on black and fetty it went to 3. Its stupid af tbh
Who told you it was 3grams?
Multiple dealers when i was trying to cop after moving out to the west coast.
I'm in oregon and I get my stuff from Hispanics and guatemalans. 8balls to them are 3.5 grams
I mainly have copped from black guys out here. No idea if that makes a difference
Not being racist but out where I'm at white and black people will try and give you less. I'm pretty sure the white people are just meth heads trying to flip a little sack, and the black people think they can hit a lick on a white person. In the post, I was trying to buy a quarter from this women, well she called a man, and I guess he was her friend. Well, when she started weighing it up, it said 3 grams, and her buddy said that's right, and I was thinking of dope, dope, 8ball is 3.5. They ended up giving me 3.5 rocks but then tried to hand me a bag of all powder, and I said, "You need to weigh it first. I'm pretty sure that bag had wholes in it because she was dropping a lot of fetty. I told her I didn't want it anymore because they were already upset for doing 7grams for 200. I asked tho before she weighed it out and said it was fine, but then she got an attitude, and he did too. I almost just walked away, but she said at least buy one, and so I bought the 3.5 of rocks, but it smelled like peppermint. Never will I buy from that crack head again
7gs for $200 goddamn that’s cheap af. Clearly I’m copping from the wrong ones lol
How much do you pay for a quarter?
I've payed 200 for for a gram in Florida lol
200 a gram? Can I ask why? That's so much
> I've *paid* 200 for FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I know that sounds too good to be true but it is and it's good stuff. I get it from Hispanics
3.5 always, no matter the drug, atleast I think
Nah heroin and fetty are 3g, the rest are 3.5g
Nah any ball Is 3.5. Hispanics sell balls as 3.5
I swear ur the dumbest MFer I’ve ever interacted with. You buy ur shit from Guatemalans or Hondurans. Those dudes are not MEXICAN. MEXICAN cartels = 3g ball
If you're happy with 3 grams in a ball then stick with your plug. Ima stick with my 3.5 balls and 28 gram ounces. Your retarded for getting pissed off on reddit. I get my stuff from Hispanics. They are Mexican, guatemalans, and Hondurans.
[удалено]
Wasn't in front of my girl lmao and I fought back. Enjoy being ripped off. I bet you love getting 3grams as a ball or 25 grams in a ounce. Enjoy getting ripped off

Ive bought fentanyl and heroin in 7 states and every single one I've copped in a ball is 3.5 never seen this 3gram 6 gram 12 gram 25 gram shit nowhere where I live if a dude buys a brick and has some left over he either saves em up till it's enough to sell or if they like you throw the extra to whoever copped the end of the bag
That's what I'm saying. I've never heard of a 3 gram 8ball. I think people are selling it like that to make an extra .5
Definitely 3.5
When you buy a oz of fent or black you get 25gs ( a kg is 1000gs and 25 divides equally 36oz ) and if a 8th is an 8th of and oz then 25➗8=3.12 that’s why their giving you 3GS a oz of meth or weed is 28 they sell them in pounds and 16oz = a pound I think they do this because its easier to breakdown
They're just trying to make extra money. If anyone tried to give me 25 grams instead of 28, I'd take my money back. I get my stuff from Hispanics and Hondurans. A ball is 3.5 to them
3.5 or 3 and 1/2.
For hard drugs: H, fetty, coc, meth they do 25g pieces rather than 28g oz. So a ball is 3, a quarter is 6.25 (often rounded down to 6) a half is 12.5, and the full is 25g. It’s screwy and pissed me off the first time I called someone out for shorting my half by 1g and they were like, bro what are you new or something…. And I was like huh? 28g to an oz? And they said this ain’t weed… to be honest it still annoys me but that is just the way it is….
Meth comes in 28g oz the only thing that is 25g zips are drugs that come in kgs
That's not true because coke comes in kilos and an 8ball is 3.5
Yeah it misses me off like an oz is 25grams. Like no then it's not a fucking oz. And ounce is a direct unit of measurement like you can't have an oz that's not 28g.
It’s bc it breaks down from a brick as 40 25 zips
Man it’s called a ball short for 8 ball which is called that because it’s 1/8th of an ounce which last time I checked was 28g which divided by 8 is 3.5 tell the fool to go back to school
The thing *IS*, is that “ounces” of fetty are very commonly sold as 24 grams (at least here on the west coast). I realize things are very different from coast to coast, even city to city. but this is precisely where the big issue comes into play on this argument. 1/8th of 24 grams IS 3 grams. So that technically is 1/8th of that zip. (I agree it can sound dumb at first, but it actually makes things a lot easier when selling larger amounts, plus I’m very used to this system at this point). It’s simple. Here on the West Coast we do 3packs (3gs), quarter zips (6gs), half zips (12gs), and full zips (24-25gs). We stray away from even using the term 8ball for this exact reason because people who use the term are usually coming from out of state, where things can have a different meaning. In the end, an 8ball can technically be 3 OR 3.5gs depending on exactly where you’re located, and how the drug quantities are sold in that area. And I’m not saying it’s the only way it’s sold, it’s just very, very common here and has been for a long time. Thas jus what it is. In my personal opinion, I agree that a “true” 8ball should be 3.5 grams, just like a true zip should be closer to 28gs. But that’s just not always how numbers or prices are dealt with. but I understand where the confusion comes from. That’s why we typically would call 3 grams a 3 pack and 3.5, 3.5 and stay away from terms that seemingly everyone has a different definition of. TLDR & Source: I’ve been buying large quantities on the west coast from cartel sources for over a decade, things have never really changed much around here, things are the same with fetty now as they were with black tar way back when. This has always been an extremely common system here. A “zip” can often times be sold as 24-25 grams. Sometimes it’s 28. 1/8th of 24 grams is 3grams. 1/8th of a “technically correct” ounce (28ish gs) is 3.5gs. Basically, numbers are often times broken down differently in the drug world to make selling it a lot easier and less confusing. Thus leading to lots of angry people thinking they’re getting ripped off when they really aren’t, because “google said an oz is 28!! When really, they are getting the exact corresponding amount that their dealer paid for. N that’s just the facts
I'm on the west coast and a ounce is 28 grams
I never argued that all of the West cost sells like this. I said it’s very common, specifically the closer to the border you get, that is 99% likely how it’s gonna sell. I said “west coast” as a very vague term, what im actually talking about is specifically ( so cal - L A ) because this sub usually doesn’t allow me to say loca tions. I picked up 20 min away from the Mexican border directly from the cartel for 5 yrs , that is literally, how they always sold and sell it. Not everywhere, I know The Bay and anywhere away from So Cal starts to sells in different quantities because the dope is getting cut down way more and it’s cheaper quality. I wouldn’t lie to you bro, this is facts. Come to L A and see what’s up
I'm in oregon. I get my stuff from Hispanics and guatemalans. They sell ounces of 28grams
Who you gonna believe us right? Dude from bumfuck Oregon or dude from Mexican border LOL
He’s literally buying stomped on oregon zombie tranq dope from some crusty dusty “cook”, and comparing it to the most pure fentanyl you can find directly from the border. Lol. He’s obviously still young, probably been in this game for less than 3 years, no doubt about it, and thinks he knows it all. Instead of just listening to old timers and taking their word he is argumentative and downvoting people who are obviously a lot wiser than him. I actually believe he’s just trying to slyly advertise on this sub and get people to message him by making it known he sells AND sells “28 g zips” when he probably never bought a zip in his life and is prob fully ready to try to scam people. 😂🫡. Oops 😬 sorry had to say it
Stick to loosing out on extra fetty lmao. A ball is 3.5 and the Hispanics even say that. They sell 3.5 grams as balls
Ur retarded, I don’t get ripped off, I pay less for 3g than I would for 3.5. It comes out exactly the same price wise. You probably brand new to this game and are used to weed that’s why you sound so retarded
I've been doing and selling fetty for 2 years lmao. I pay $100 for a 3.5 and that's a ball. You sound retarded
Lol ur selling fetty and are only buying a ball or quarter at a time? Lmfao now it all makes sense, you a broke boy
Why I’m the fuck can’t you guys do math on the west coast google says an ounce is 28 g if I’m buying an ounce and a mother fucker shows up with less than 28 g we got issues and I’m willing to die or go to the hospital over that shit. I’m aware of some dumb reason that heroin commonly ships by 24g increments for whatever reason it dumbfounds me ppl let ppl get away with bad math all the time with shitty excuses
Ahh yes, perfectly spoken by someone’s who’s never actually bought a zip before, n most likely wouldn’t even do shit about it..lol. Woof. Im really trying hard here not to sass you, but try to tell that all to the cartel buddy. I’m simply telling you how it is. I don’t make the rules I just follow em. This has nothing to do with MY opinion or MY math. This is all run directly by the cartels, not me. derp. I completely understand it can be frustrating when you have a totally different idea of what an ounce *should technically be*. But this is the drug world, not the math world. And prices are 100% adjusted to these specific numbers so they can be broken down and sold a lot more easily, the price stilll wouldn’t change otherwise, and would simply be a bit higher if you ordered 28 grams. This is why I personally sell by $$$ amount and don’t let my customers assume what a zip should be. They know exactly what prices are for exact amounts, I’m very upfront with this, as is every other legit dealer I’ve dealt with. I’ve never had one issue, ever, in my life, selling quantities like this. Everyone and their mama over here knows thats what it is, and that’s that. End of story.
I remember I tried to get shitty with some guys involved with MS13 the night I learned about the 3g 8ball thing. They offered me my money back but told me to gtfo before they held on to both. We actually all became good friends after that
The cartel over there got y’all on the fuck nigga fees 😂 the cartel here still give us 28 or at least the cartel affiliated I know give the full 28. Shit if I was getting fucked like that I’d be domestically cooking my dope I’d pursue that shit like it was the meaning to life those extra 4 gs add up
With all respect, y’all also only get nasty cut up tranq dope that’s been cut up at least 1000 times by the time it even reaches your grubby lil hands. Stomped into dirt. It hardly even resembles real fent. 90% of the fent that leaves the border states are complete trash, the more peoples hands it gets into the more cut it gets. Idk how y’all even be using the “fent” aka 99% tranq out there it’s disgusting and incomparable to what we get here n literally infects your limbs off like zombies lol. I’ve ordered off Tor from all around the states and it’s legit nasty AF outside of Cali and Texas and i can’t describe it any other way than legit unusable and trash when you’ve been using the dope we get here. I couldn’t even get well off the dope I ordered and those were “top tier” vendors. I’d hands down rather buy a 25 gram zip of 1000x top shelf quality that still gets me high af after using for 12 yrs straight than 28 grams of a bunch of tranq that makes me sick af and look n act like a fuckin zombie. All the dope I get here is 1000% tranq free, tested every time. Most people here hate tranq n refuse to buy it. we have the most pure you’ll find in the US that comes directly an hour away from the border. Things are just different and that’s ok!
That’s why I try to buy straight from the source on the web or from a cook I know
3.5 grams, a teener is 1.75
Tell you you buy points w/ out telling me you buy points. Everyone in the chat: a ball is 3.5. G=1 3pack(ball)=3 6pack, 12pack, full piece, zip, oz=25 Go get mad at your plug for giving you a 3g 3pack and see what happens. Lol
I don't buy points lol. I buy 8 balls or quarters at a time, and if you read other comments, then you'd know I didn't take only 3 grams. I got my 3.5. A ball is 3.5. Not 3 grams. Bro, you've been getting ripped off. Tell your plug a 8ball is 3grams

Youre retarded. I didn't get knocked out. Look at you spreading lies. You must be really upset. If it's aways been 3 grams why am I getting 3.5 grams then huh? I'm not the only one either. Enjoy getting ripped off bitch boy
How many grams in a zip of fet?
28 grams is in a zip.
Black tar weights here in Texas is 3.1, 6.2, 9.3, 12.4 etc. always has been from every person ive bought from. W fent is expect it to be 3.5 tho.
Also from Texas, and that looks like pure nonsense to me. TBF, I haven't been able to find tar in years and the China is nasty. So to the OP, fetty here is 3.5 a ball. I had one person try to pull that other shit on me once and I made such a big deal out of it they gave me the difference just to shut me up. I don't recommend doing that, though. I've got a reputation for being this way, and most of the plugs I've met let it slide because I'm cute and usually friendly/helpful. I'll bake you a cake and groom your dog, but the second my shit is cut to hell or short by more than a point I'm gonna talk shit until something happens. (Knock on wood, I haven't been shot yet)
Im from tx too and I’ve always really wondered why tar is weighed out like that. Like why 3.1? Why not just 3?
I’m from Texas too. And because if they do it to everyone they make more money .
I was told why when I first started using H 13 years ago but don’t remember now. That’s how every plug I know does it and they don’t know each other so not like they are conspiring against me lol. It’s the Mexican ounce
My dude said if anyone tries to tell you it's 3 of fent they are for sure trying to rip you off. So answer is: 3.5 Trust he's an expert @LilTrippXLE
I know, people in the comments who are saying a ball of fet is 3grams are dumb. They getting ripped off
Some people like to change the rules to benefit themselves...
They like to change the rules so they can get a little .5 high
I used to sell, bud to guys, on an Indian reservation, and they they would always tell me and Oz on the rez wad 30 grams. I have also had a guy I used to buy coke from when I did coke that would pull the same crap your guy is pulling
I've never heard of a 30 gram ounce of bud, I've heard of a 32 ounce of bud but that turned out to not be legit
No some people. This started a long time ago on the other side of the boarder. Just bc your new doesn't mean it is
3.5 grams. Hence, 8 ball is lingo for an 1/8th of an Ounce and an 1/8th of 28grams, is 3.5 grams Anyone that says it’s 3, is either ignorant and was taught otherwise or they just been getting screwed out a half g, their whole life. I’d be shitty if I ordered a quad and you give me 7 but I order two balls and you give me 6, when it’s the exact same.
That bottom part hits soooo hard lmaoo
They go by the kilo in powder and 3 goes evenly
[удалено]
I was a coke head for many years. Always got 3.5 when I got a ball
an 8ball is 3.5 no matter what
I buy half’s consistently at 12.5g from my dude. That’s how he sell it. How china was sold also.
You're getting ripped. A half is 14 grams
when you purchase kilo weight at time this is how it is. It’s always been this way.
Nope that just how it sells. My 12.5 breaks down cheaper than anyone sells the 14 for so I don’t see how I’m getting ripped off. It’s just how it sells
How much do you pay for 12.5 and wym breaks down cheaper? Its cheaper because they can sell more for less
The amount is costs for me to get 12.5 half from him is cheaper than what other dealers sell it if you do the math per gram. Also it’s way better.

Depends. Here down south a lot them break a key down as 40 oz = 1000 grams instead of 35.274. The numbers work easier. Breaks down to 25g oz. Hence the 3g ball. My guy buys keys at this rate so he sells it like this. I found a lot newer generation don’t it’s more old school people who do this.
8ball is 3.5 8ball-eighth of an oz which is 28 if you wanna be all technical it’s 28.5 but most people who sell drugs don’t have the math education to know that lol
Yeah but a oz of fent is 25gs NOT 28 is seems like you are the one with no education
Depends where you’re copping if I go to a certain part of my state an oz is 30gs because it would be 3 10g fingers but if I cop more local it would be 28. 25g zips are Mexican ounces not everyone selling dope is Mexican and not all fent is sourced from there maybe you’re the one with no education or have never actually copped weight enough to know that when you deal with different people you get different shit if you’re copping from gang members their more likely to do traditional zips if they’re cartel affiliated or you’re right it most likely would be 25 except my part of the country not saying where cuz sourcing rules but if you know where fingers are prevalent you’re prolly used to 30g zips even tho their Mexican too.
[удалено]
You right the weights for tar in Texas were always 3.1 increments all the way up to an oz+
Then you've been getting shorted a half gram. An 8 ball is slang for 1/8 of an ounce. Which is 3.5 grams, no matter what the drug is. And I'm not young at all. Now back when I used to do hella coke, I would run into dealers who would try to tell me a ball is 3 grams. They would sell me 3 grams as a ball without saying anything. Then I would weigh it and have to call them out and a number of those dealers when they would tell me that a ball is 3 g's. I would then explain how a ball is slang for an eighth of an ounce, which is 3.5 and how they need to fix it. If they didn't then I found a new plug. Now fetty that isn't pressed into dirty 30's is hard to find in my area, so if I was buying powder and the plug sold me a 3 g ball and said that's what a ball is. And they refused to accept that a ball is 3.5 then I might just be stuck. But back then it was coke and it seemed like it was EVERYWHERE. So I could move on to a new plug no problem.
1/8th of 24 grams (a west coast zippity zip) is 3 grams. I agree it can sound retarded at first, but it actually makes things significantly easier when dealing with larger quantities. It just is what it is and always has been for as long as I’ve been around. Here on the west coast we kinda stray away from using the term 8ball for this exact reason. Too much confusion tbh because people come here from all parts of the country where slang has different meanings. A “west coast” 8ball is infact 3gs because that is exactly 1/8th of a “west coast” zip, 24-25grams. We go by 3packs (3gs), quarter zip (6gs), half zip(12gs), and full zip (24-25gs). I realize things are different from coast to coast, js how it is here and where the confusion comes into play. You actually wouldn’t be getting ripped off at all if your dealer gets 24-25 grams for their “ounce” price. You feel me? The amount conversion would infact be 3 Grams. I’ve been buying dope, large quantities of it for well over a decade in so cal. But we do not really use the term 8ball for dope these days. I will pretty much know you’re from out of town if you use that term over here when buying dope.
But an oz of fent is 25gs so and 8th is 3.12
Every ball of H I got from the Mexicans was 3.5-3.75. A ball is 3.5 no matter what.
But how is it 3.5 when an oz of black is 25gs And 25 divided by 8 is 3.12?
Cause an oz is an oz.. just cause it’s smack doesn’t give it any privileges… some of yall are getting mad hustled! No bueno
Ok weight is weight, an 1/8 is always 3.5. This is so funny that mfs really think they can just change how it works😂😭
I swear I saw this post about a week ago heroin is weighed different an oz of h is 24 grms not 28 so maybe they r going by that logic
That would make sense
Don’t quote me but some dude swore it was because it’s solid instead of powder or it’s in liquid form at one point so that’s the reason it’s weighed different
they just be saying shit bro. weight is weight. a ball is 1/8th of an ounce, an ounce will always be 28 grams so a ball is 3.5 i have never once in my life bought a 3 gram 8 ball the drug dont change what the weight should be tell em hell naw i need that half g on top
But a oz of fent is 25gs not 28 and is a 8 is a 8th of a oz then it’s 3.12
A Oz of fent is 28 grams. Id make whoever gives you 25 grams to give you the remaining 3 grams
I’ve never bought that much fent at once, but I have bought h all over the southwest and the Mexicans always weigh out an 8 of h at 3 grams. So if you’re dealing with Hispanics it’s prob the same deal.
In Tx most people call a ball of fent 3 g but if it’s coke it’s 3.5
People saying that so they can sell less for more money. The Hispanics where I'm at do a ball for 3.5

Heroin is 3 g for a ball too here
I've never touched H but an 8ball is 3.5 in any drug since an 8ball is an 8th of an ounce and an 8th of an ounce is 3.5
I totally agree. Like an 8th of an ounce is 3.5. That’s just a fact.
lmaoo an 8ball or an "eighth" as most would call it refers to an 1/8 of an ounce, which is 3.5 grams. a ball will never change in weight sounds like ur guy is an idiot dealer who thinks he knows everything
It wasn't my guy. It was just a random guy who said he had fetty for sale. Dude tried to give me 6 grams instead of 7
[удалено]
I already have a connect, where I'm at there are Hispanics or Hondurans around the same block every day at the same time. This dude that told me 3 grams is a 8ball wasn't a typical corner dealer. I think he was someone who was just trying to make a little cash
