it is called a 8 ball because a 8ball (3.5g) is 1/8 of a ounce. 28.35g. = 1 oz. (28.35g./3.5g. = 8.1g.)

you dont want that last g there after 8.1 it should read (28.35g./3.5g. = 8.1) because 3.5g's goes iton 28.35g's 8.1times

Swim has a low tolerance but has used many times over the past couple of years and she finds that if she's doing lines, she has probably never gone over half a gram to herself in a night, and this is on a party night. As a new user swiy is probably (hopefully) not going on 24-hour binges, so if swiy uses about as much as swim does then an 8-ball should technically last him a week if he was doing it every night.
Swiy should in no way be going through a gram in a night all to himself unless he has a very high tolerance or is binging, just swim's 2 cents...

Re: 8ball
I'm sure this could be found with TFSE.

"Eightball" is short of an eighth of an ounce, or 3.5g. It wouldn't, however, surprise me to learn that "eightballs" purchased on the street typically have less than that amount.

Re: what weight is an "8ball"
Swim just asks his 'friend' for an 8th and at home on swims didis its between 3.6-3.7g

But an 8ball, henry, 8th ect is 3.5. Swim has had less but if he takes scales with him then its always over

Re: what weight is an "8ball"
8 ball with any dealer should be 3.5g (+/- 0.1g). Since I'm sure SWIY is obviously buying his cocaine off the street, you can be pretty certain that every time SWIY arrives to pick up without a scale, he's getting cut at least 0.3g+. Well, that's at least what I've seen in my experience. Always bring a scale - SWIY will intimidate the dealer into an accurate count.
