What are you talking about with the weed? It’s sold in pounds, ounces, quarter ounces and “half quarters” which is as ridiculously un-metric as it gets.
My theory on this is we use the imperial weights when describing the size in relation to the jail time associated with getting caught with it and then switch to metric for personal use.
And all Imperial amounts are based on the SI system (the official name for metric). That’s basically the point of having a standard.
I’m really not sure what the big deal is that the packaging uses the metric equivalent of the unit used in the US, which is one of the main countries that many businesses worldwide serve. That’s also the case with butter (1 lb to 454g), cream cheese (8 oz to 250g), etc.

We used to just call that an eighth.
Yes, but a metric eighth.
Gosh, I wonder how many grams there are in a quarter ounce?

I guess because no one buys 20 pounds of weed, but 20 grams is just fine…
Sold in grams for small amounts, then back to Imperial for larger amounts.
Yes, the very metric package sizes using multiples of 7.
It doesn’t matter what the multiple is. It could be 28.35g exactly, it’s still metric because of the unit.
Their point was that while it’s using metric, all the available sizes are based on imperial amounts.

Bro can you post that to me in Australia
I don’t think I’ve seen a gram for sale since legalization. I see pre-rolls and half-quarters. Weighed in grams but packaged in imperial.
1g prerolls are actually the only round-number metric sale I see.
Right. I haven’t seen a 1g bag sold ever.

Should have bullet measurements instead
