Marijuana is measured in ounces and pounds, while cocaine is measued in grams and kilograms.

Katy tells me this is because our pot is homegrown in the U.S., but our cocaine is imported from metric system-using countries.

another reason may be dose and/or amount usually purchased by end user----an ounce is a relatively large amount compared to a gram.
