WWJS– What Would Jesus Smoke

Science has decided that the kilogram is now anachronous, and in need of a lovely new retrofit. Two competing theories are vying to be the new canon, and I won't tell you too much about them lest I run the risk of subversively educating, so all you need to know is that we want Avogardo's Model to win because it has a much neater name than "Planck." We're not pirates or algea, afterall.


Intellectually, I'm all for changing the model for which we base the kilogram, if its currently built around an unstable base, but I have to wonder-- what happens to the drug trade? Will the base price for a kilo of pot go up or down?

I do all of my business with pot on the ounce level, kind of side stepping this GramGate by virtue of not buying too high of quantity or too low of quantity, but I'm sure that there are folks who do deal with it in the larger weight who will either have to pass the savings on to me or charge me more for their new overhead, and that could lead to some interesting situations.

Will it fuck with old school potheads forever? By 2007 the change looks to be in place; does this mean that all of the dealers have to go out and get new scales if they're relying on digital metric ones now? Will the phisheads cry foul?

Seems like a sticky-icky situation to me.
