Scales make me nervous. I have buddies who smoke something a little different then tobacco if you catch my drift. A police officer told me that having a scale makes them think your a dealer.
If you don't have buddies like I do then that seems like a great deal.

I use my digital reloading scale and weigh in grams, since it measures in troy ounces, beside dwt, grams and grains ( I sent a bit too much baccy in a trade weighing in troy oz once ). "Regular" ounce is 28g and troy ounce is 31g .

Pick up one of those little hanging scales with a clip to hang a baggie from. They are cheap and pretty accurate. Back in the day I did a comparison with one and an expensive digital scale. It was spot on. You can find one in any head shop.

I've been smoking a pipe for 24 years and haven't had a need for a scale yet.

I've got one of the little hanging scales that was left in a used car I bought, seems to be accurate, however it mostly just sits in a drawer. When I give friends some of my tobacco to try, I just use the handful method.

Well. I have nothing to worry about at all. There is no kind of any drug that's not prescribed in my home. Well asprin, and children Tylanol. Heck, I was expecting everyone to say they already had the exact set of scales. I eyeballed my first trade. I dumped the tin, broke it down into 7 parts because i figured i smoked and oz, then i added to the largest one. I have a few trades coming up and didnt want anyone to say i shorted them and get a bad name. Well Guess I'm still the idiot who posted the threat "I'm An Idiot". It was my 2nd or 3rd post.

Scales are really handy for mixing your own blends. And so is a pencil and a pad of note paper. :wink:

Lol Shawn, you're not an idiot, and nothing wrong with wanting to be a fair and honest person. A mans actions speak louder than words...

I have a cheap food scale. Close enough for right now. P&C sells a pocket digital scale for pretty cheap.

Nah, You're not an idiot. When I give a sample away, I just throw some baccy in a zip lock bag.

Honestly I don't do the so called drugs. I don't have an addictive personality and all I mean is mary jane. Plus I had ex-roommates that did it casually. I'm just a little overly paranoid.

I'd just tell the police that I trade tobacco a lot :P I have a digital scale specifically for trades that I purchased before I made my first one on here (I try to think of everything in advance). I just like to be fair, and I am terrible at guessing, it just never sat right with me. Some people are better at it than others; personally, I like having the piece of mind that whatever I have stated is in the bag, is in the bag. It also helps a lot when mixing differint blends together to always get the porportions right, which I sometimes do in my experiments when a blend just isn't quite right.
Buying a postal scale would be a good idea if your into shipping items via USPS a lot and don't want to waste your time in their office... You can get them on Ebay for $18, free ship. Appaerntly they are accurate within .1oz for the first 0-25 pounds.
