5 grams of marijuana is almost 1/4 ounce... that'd be one helluva joint! :lol:

It is a roughly a 1/6 of an oz (~28 g). I would call it "decent"; but it depends on the quality of the weed.

The problem I see for the weights of everything other than the weed is that unless the Mexicans make it legal to sell via a normal pharmacy shop it will be impossible to control the purity of the drugs, for example if you have 40 mg of "heroin" how does anyone know how much of the 40 mg is heroin and how much is something else such as citric acid or sugar ?

For the those drugs of abuse which can be taken orally it might be possible to dispense them in the form of pills, but I doubt if any normal drug company would be willing to get involved in the supply of drugs of abuse such as MDMA. To my mind it is more likely to generate trouble for the company than even things such as the "abortion pill" (Mifepristone) so if I was in charge of a drug company I would refuse to get involved in the production and sale of drugs of abuse to the general public.


I do not have experience with Heroine. But with Meth, MDA and MDMA the quality can be quite well assessed if the substance is not processed. The form and colour of the crystals are a very good indicator. Nevertheless: For injecting those drugs, the general advice is to test the drug prior use via self-experiment: You measure a relative small amount and inject it, than you assess the reaction of your body and mind and estimate from this reaction the purity of the drug. But this shows the uncertainty of those production in a not regulated market.

i was thinking the same thing, but i wasnt sure, cus i COUGH know hash better than pot COUGH

5g's of hashish would make for an unbearable joint :D

at a party some time ago, a blackmetal guy wanted to impress his new goth girlfriend, by showing her he can smoke joints too (blackmetallers smoke nothing but enormous grotesque bucket-bongs)

i asked him for a contribution, since i was the roller, and since he was clueless, but wanted to keep a controlled front, he tossed me a 2,5 g piece. "uh.... you want me to roll... all of this?" "yeah, sure."

well. needless to say. it was a heavy set joint that.

this was just a couple of hours ago

EDIT: added link. sorry, spanish.

the article mentions that it's legal to possess:

5 grams of marijuana
0.5 grams of cocaine
2 grams of opium
50 miligrams of heroine
0.015 milligrams of LSD
40 grams of methanfetamines
40 milligrams of MDA
40 milligrams of MDMA (extasis)

mexican senate link from 2008 (before the change to marijuana from 2 grams to 5 grams)
http://www.senado.gob.mx/gace.php?sesio ... ocumento=4


It may actually start bringing down the cartels. Mexico's been fighting the drug cartels for decades, and it's produced nothing but death and destruction.
Legalization may be the only way to start cutting them off at the knees.

computerlove, that's not too shocking in my mind cause, if one were to go back in history heck! the early cultures of Aztecs,Maya,Inca,etc had been using such things but, in a way that was not seen as being going overboard I guess.My point being is it was only a matter of time such were to happen as, the Mexican government has always had a great deal of trouble with the drug cartels and all the other variables that go along with it..
Just recently, there has been a possible discussion in the state of California to consider legalizing drugs but, this is only a possible discussion nothing more at this moment..
