the mathematics of marijuana

There are 28 grams in an ounce. There are 16 ounces in a pound. That means there are 448 grams in a pound. A gram sells for $20. If you are nice, you will sell 3 grams for $50, but not everyone is nice like that. You always make more money on the breakdown, which is why curb hustlers tend to make a pretty good profit and don’t branch out into pushing weight. Why should they when there is so much more money to be made on the breakdown?

A quarter pound of chronic is 4 ounces. That is 112 grams. If Doughboy sells you a QP for $1000 and you sell nothing but dub sacks, you will make $2240 in one day. Because as soon as the word gets out that someone has some good chronic, everyone is buying.

If you are smart, you will short sack people. Instead of putting in a whole gram, pick out the fluffier pieces and sell them in sacks with .75 grams in them. No one is going to ask you to weigh a dub sack. If you know what you are doing, you pack the bag in such a way that it looks stuffed.

You started out with 112 grams (a QP). That’s 112 sacks to be sold. If you are smart, you will cut some people some deals. Sell a few $50 sacks because since they are short anyway, you aren’t missing out on anything.

They are going to be excited when they get that sack because they know that they are getting some good smoke. Doughboy only sells that sticky green and you can smell it before you even open the bag. That is going to be blowing their minds.

After you’ve sold your 112 sacks, you will discover that your $1000 has turned into $3000. In one day.

This is the mathematics of marijuana.

damn. i gotta put my glasses back on, get myself a cup o' coffee, and read this AGAIN...

yep i am in the wrong bizness, i could use $3000 today.

Something about the math: you are already rounding the numbers when you list them. (before you tell people to sell short bags)
As defined by National Institute of Standards and Technology,
http://physics.nist.gov/Document/sp811.pdf
(look at table in Appendix B)

1 oz = 28.34952g.
(2.834952 E+01 = 2.834952 x 10)
So by using 28, you are cheating 1/3 gram already.
This makes 1/4 oz approximately 7 grams. If the 3 gram sack is meant to be a 1/8 oz, then each is being shorted approximately 1/2 gram, which is significant, especially if we assume $20/g.
If an ounce is assumed to be $100, that would still make 1/7 to be an approximate $14.2857/g.
More than "take a penny leave a penny" eh?

the only fractions in the dope game are 1/8, 1/4, 1/2. there are no decimals. anything else is not worth mentioning.

:o)
