    Look, Americans are not familiar with kilograms. However, we do know grams… because… reasons.

      I guess it’s because they use to nab people for way smaller amount of drugs so they used the same unit even in case of huge haul for consistency. Still weird tho, SI units are made to be completely consistent at all times.

      Its literally 1000 grams, kilo means 1000. Just like kilobytes. It’s like when you read that someone has 1k dollars, or 1kk = 1m = 1,000,000.

      You should be as familiar with kilograms as grams… It’s literally just a multiplier.
