    my girlfriend got me a dub, supposedly weighed out in front of her as a full gram on a scale. now, i'd believe it, except for the fact that it looks kind of tiny. maybe it's dense as hell? smells nice at least. i've gotten dimes that SEEMED like this size, though. so my question is, can someone fuck with a scale to give you an improper measurement? this "dub" doesn't look too big for 1.0 g

    Scales are Binary. Binary is just basically two digit codes 0 and 1.

    If your sister knows someone who's good at that shit, then it's possible. But the odds are that she doesn't :p

    To answer your question, yes you can "fuck with scales" to lower actual numbers and stuff, but it's unlikely to meet someone who can do such things with such cheap interfaces and lines of code.

    That's no where near a dub where I'm from. That's a $5 nug. Prices vary depending on location and who you know, though.

    here's a picture of it broken up. enough for two small joints with e-z wider paper. that's how i usually figure what a dub is. usually breaks up to two joints or so, about 0.5 g in each

    Well... I had a friend once who picked up a "dub" and he said the dealer weighed it out on his iPhone :rolleyes:

    "Dude it weighed out to 1.2 grams"

    "Yea no shit, its a fake app. He set the weight on the phone before you got in the car."

    :(

    That's a joint to me. I know how small that container is I have one.

    The only way to tell is buy a scale and weigh it yourself, so if you have any doubts it will prove or disprove them.

    I honestly wouldn't worry about it either way..I mean it's just a gram

    a dub around my parts = 3.5 grams so that def looks short, to me
     
  15. #15 l James l, Aug 3, 2012

    Whoever made that app is an asshole.
     
  16. #16 Tastytrichomes, Aug 3, 2012
    well that's true, but 20 bucks that could have been spent on gas, but it seems nice :smoke:
     
  17. #17 Buttery, Aug 3, 2012
    That's a gram if I've ever seen it sir. I can tell its dense from the picture

    A dub is a gram... For me at least. I always thought it was a universal term for a gram every where. 1000th post BITCHHHHHHHHH

    Yes, they can put the wrong weight when calibrating it, say ur scale has a 5g calibration option, and they put 4g on the scale and calibrate it. When you put 4g on the scale it will say 5g, but that should be a gram

    Don't sweat it. When I bought weed for the first time ever it was at school. I was buying what I thought was an eighth, off course me being a noob I'd t know what it looked like. But I was paying $50 and all I got was a few little nugs...like I said I didn't know what 1/8 looked like. Haha and even better I was looking at some old text and I was texting I think one of my old dealers and he asked me how much I needed so I said 2 and a half Gs then he asked me how much I had, so me being an idiot again told $50 I guess I spent $50 on 2 1/2 grams...can't remember haha. Oh well,'I'm smarter now and have everyone I buy from weigh it out in front of me
