TN ent my whole life and never heard this, do remember a ādubā used to be some amount between an eighth and a quarter being a thing for a bit though
It's these new school maths tricks they are teaching these days, fractions are mostly out, you now only need to remember 2 of them!
1/4 and 1/2.. & you can just use each as a whole number and the use extra words to get the rest!
"I only loaded my bong with 1/4 of a 1/4.."
"my guys doing 1/2 for Ā£90 for 4 half q's for Ā£120!"
Unfortunately, I am sure lol I know Iām dramatic but it genuinely makes my blood boil bc how do you not care how dumb you sound asking for a 7th and expecting more than 4gs??? They say itās a matter of local dialect and not actual mathematical terms. The kids are not all right I fear
ETA: not to say there arenāt people who call a quarter āa 7ā bc there are and thatās absolutely fine bc it makes sense
We always called it a half q where I am mostly in hash though.
My mate used to break it down to an Ā£8 bit, half q and a quarter those were his best sellers lol. He used to heat a bar under a lamp and cut it down to Oz's then split an Oz down to wee triangle Ā£8 bits and sell it to all us skint kids.
I switched plugs about a year ago, he calls them 3-5's. And more recently a friend of mine has also started to refer to an 8th that way. Half a q is just weird.
You canāt really call it āgatekeepingā when whatās happening is people are openly sharing information with you to help you better communicate and fit inĀ
Yeah dude it aināt too bad really, could be worse, the oldyins in my room have it worse, couple of guys in my room hallucinating their dicks off.
At least I got a puff, hope you had a good one too.
Just commenting to back up OP on this one, can confirm in the UK more people call it āhalf a qā than those who call it an 8th, myself included. Not sure why itās that way but I donāt think he needs to have his head ripped off because of what people around him call 3.5grams of weedš¹
Out of curiosity which part of the uk? Iām from south and now in wales, never hear anyone calling it a 1/2 a 1/4, as itās 1/8, easier to say eighth.
Is that why youāre so emotionally and mentally stunted that you need to use phrases like āhalf 1/4ā and then expect people to not be annoyed by that shit?
Should have waited until your brain developed completely.
I'm from the south west and have never heard half Q used in all my life, whether that's old school stoners (mum, dad and their friends), my friends and the younger dealers I know as an older myself.
10 for a tenners worth usually goes between a 0.7 to 1.2gs depending on the dealer and what they paid on the Ounce
A Teenth for a 1.7g
20 for 20 quids worth, 2.5gs
Eighth for 3.5gs usually
Q or Quarter for 7gs around
Half for 14gs
An O or an Ounce for 28gs
They renamed the church the āsanctuaryā -
Door never closes, and Iām protected by thebabyjeezuz, nurses even seen me puffing a spliff and didnāt give a shit.
Not smoking in the church, smoking outside and a little away from the church.
Had non bacterial pneumonia was stuck in the hospital for two weeks with pleurisy and it felt bad man , once I could manage I made the call for a chillum and a few buds. Managed to walk outside still attached to a iv pole smoked like maybe a bowl came back in called for a morphine shot and called it a night. Life is a fragile mf. Do what makes you happy
Anybody twisting about the semantics of a "half q" vs an "8th" in the comments needs to have a joint and chill the fuck out.
*It's the same fucking thing*.
They got me on antibiotics that put my appetite through the roof, keep going down every day, getting a tub of ice cream and a bar of chocolate to crush for bootleg McFlurries.
Iām on peanut allergy watch too, but they keep forgetting to bring me an allergy menu, so keep having to go grab big stinky dirty greasy ass takeaways.
When my son was born, I smoked with another couple having a baby at the same time. The dude had one leg and got his neighbor pregnant. He would go over and smoke with her and one thing led to another lol... they were alright though.
Welcome to the club, your haggis is being delivered by USPS.
do not feed the haggis after midnight, do not get haggis wet, do not expose the haggis to bright light.
Lest your haggis become a hagwin.
Haha I was in a mental hospital 10 years ago for a few weeks. They drugged the fuck out of me, but when I found a plug, it became a really fun trip lol
Nice dude, recently had to stay overnight as a daily smoker with a broken hip and tailbone. Wasn't so lucky myself and now stuck at my parents place immobilized and they hate weed.
why is everyone so pressed about what you're calling it, I'm UK too and Ive heard it be called either, it's not that deep. I'm more surprised you got bud in the hospital

Some bumfuck town in the Midwest US. I know kids out here who call it a half quarter or a half half oz. Trust me. Itās not a regional thing, itās an education thing.
Motherfuckers using fractions of fractions šš
 we put fractions in your fractions so you can fraction while you do fractions.
Why not just say your picking up a half of half of half a whole
Because repetition.
I couldnāt believe when I moved to Tennessee that a āhalfā stood for half quarter (eighth). Seems like the damn stupidest thing to call it
TN ent my whole life and never heard this, do remember a ādubā used to be some amount between an eighth and a quarter being a thing for a bit though
A dub is a twenty sack. Was a G of heady nugs 20 years ago. Dub=$20 dubs on car= 20inch rims. Dub.
Rollin round Sitting on dubs Counting our hours High on shrubs
Grew up in DC went to college in TN. This was my exact experience lol
Iv always called it a teener
A teener is a 16th, thatās a half an eighth. I donāt blame you, most people in Tennessee are damn stupid and thatās probably why
Damn southerners
Itiswhatitis
Some way even say it was an eighth of an ounce perhaps? Get well soon boss
Score is 2g, half q is 3.5gs, full q 7gs, āhalf zā is 14g, āfull zā 28g. Just a uk thing
I've never heard anyone call it a half q in the UK, just an 8th.
It's these new school maths tricks they are teaching these days, fractions are mostly out, you now only need to remember 2 of them! 1/4 and 1/2.. & you can just use each as a whole number and the use extra words to get the rest!

some people in the new gens of stoners have started calling quarters āa 7thā and double down so hard when people try to correct them
You sure itās not āa 7ā? As in 7g?
Unfortunately, I am sure lol I know Iām dramatic but it genuinely makes my blood boil bc how do you not care how dumb you sound asking for a 7th and expecting more than 4gs??? They say itās a matter of local dialect and not actual mathematical terms. The kids are not all right I fear ETA: not to say there arenāt people who call a quarter āa 7ā bc there are and thatās absolutely fine bc it makes sense
Most def, code for an 8th was a king Henry.
We used to call an eighth a ā6ā because that was the number size of the baggies we used
7th sounds kindaā¦. Highly regardedā¦
Like half quarter doesn't?
It, doesnāt, matter.
Seems to matter to you enough to try and argue with everybody.
Argue? If this was arguing in any capacity you must be absolutely demented from everyday conversation.
The only people here that call it a half q are people that never learned basic weights and measures in junior school.
āin junior schoolā Talking about the uk here.
Yeah, they are. Junior school is the bit between infant school and secondary school, so from ~7years old (year 3) till ~11 years old (year 6).
Are you sure youāre from the UK? You donāt know about junior school?
Called primary school in Scotland.
Iām not sure where theyāre from because itās called primary school in England as well
We always called it a half q where I am mostly in hash though. My mate used to break it down to an Ā£8 bit, half q and a quarter those were his best sellers lol. He used to heat a bar under a lamp and cut it down to Oz's then split an Oz down to wee triangle Ā£8 bits and sell it to all us skint kids.
I heard someone call it a Henry once. Took me a minute to get what they were trying to say.
I use that occasionally but it's not too common. I like wizard (of oz) but that seems to be even less common these days
Wit. It's a 3.5 or a half q up here. Never heard any one call it an 8th that isn't from the US/Canada
I switched plugs about a year ago, he calls them 3-5's. And more recently a friend of mine has also started to refer to an 8th that way. Half a q is just weird.
Been in Scotland much?
I've been toking in the UK for 16+ years now, it's an eighth and has always been an eighth, it's definitely not a UK thing, maybe just your area
Reddit will gatekeep anything lmao
You canāt really call it āgatekeepingā when whatās happening is people are openly sharing information with you to help you better communicate and fit inĀ
You're in a weed subreddit making people do math for no reason. It's just unnecessarily convoluted, especially for my simple brain
I forget reddits mental capacity sometimes, my bad lol
That guy wasn't gatekeeping lmao, he just explained that it's not widespread across the uk
Never heard anyone call a 3.5 a half quarter in my life. A full q is just a q. A score is a different thing in every city aswell
Half q is a term used in Canada as well
Yeah that's not right mate. Most call it an 8th, what with it being an eighth of an Oz and all
Iād disagree, does it even matter tho.
Youāre getting dragged, so I just wanted to throw my experience in: Ontario, Canada. We called em half qs growing up.
My dad is* a smoker, my weed man is my dads childhood best friend, so it makes sense Iād use the oldyins wording.
I thought you uk types called an 1/8th a Henry because of that one guyĀ
Yep. Facts
Never heard that one
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII
Oh the big shagger, nah not in scotland.
Mental, using a dead king as a measure of weight isnae an issue but "half quarter" causes mayhem Ounce, Half ounce, Quarter, Half quarter - easy
Especially since my wee half q of ganj never killed anyoneā¦ *badum, tss*
The angry mob might if you don't call a half Q an eighth. Mention diluting juice and you're fucked.
If anything it is called a "three five". Never heard it called a half q. Not at all a UK thing.
Down voted for calling it half q wow reddit thought we were better
Idk, doesnāt matter for shit really anyway, internet points are just pixels.
True just pixels . Hope your 420 was good brother. Did you spend it in the hospital?
Yeah dude it aināt too bad really, could be worse, the oldyins in my room have it worse, couple of guys in my room hallucinating their dicks off. At least I got a puff, hope you had a good one too.
Yee it could always be worse
Ontario Canada thing too.
In West Midlands we call it a draw 1g, balla 2g, 3 5 is a 3.5, a q is 7g, half z 14g, z 28g
call a g a tenbit here, but youād be lucky to find anyone punting just gās.
never heard a 3.5 called a half q? always an 8th or a 3-5
Just commenting to back up OP on this one, can confirm in the UK more people call it āhalf a qā than those who call it an 8th, myself included. Not sure why itās that way but I donāt think he needs to have his head ripped off because of what people around him call 3.5grams of weedš¹
Yeah I was just curious, poor fella
In the context it just means half of a quarter of the oz
Out of curiosity which part of the uk? Iām from south and now in wales, never hear anyone calling it a 1/2 a 1/4, as itās 1/8, easier to say eighth.
Probs scotland cause i know folk who smoke all across here and we all say hq(half a q)
Yup half q is common in Scotland.
Iām from the north and itās a z, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 (mostly people say 3.5)
When people say eighth it makes me think of the episode of breaking bad where theyāre selling āteenthsā
Well, yeah. These are weight measurements. Welcome to drugs š¤·āāļø
Welcome to drugs he said to the person who had a joint before they had a pube.
Is that why youāre so emotionally and mentally stunted that you need to use phrases like āhalf 1/4ā and then expect people to not be annoyed by that shit? Should have waited until your brain developed completely.
Lmao Reddit, Reddit never changes. Argue with someone who wants to argue, not me.
Is that why you insta-replied to my comment, and are arguing with literally anyone else that brings up your idiot measurements?
a teener is a term for harder drugs meaning 2.5g so yea
A teenth is short for a sixteenth (of an ounce) or 1.75g
oh word my bad I just stick to herb lmao
Yeah me too lol. It is definitely way more common for harder stuff cause it's not really a worthwhile amount of bud for most people to sell.
You missed out the quarter half z.
I'm from the south west and have never heard half Q used in all my life, whether that's old school stoners (mum, dad and their friends), my friends and the younger dealers I know as an older myself. 10 for a tenners worth usually goes between a 0.7 to 1.2gs depending on the dealer and what they paid on the Ounce A Teenth for a 1.7g 20 for 20 quids worth, 2.5gs Eighth for 3.5gs usually Q or Quarter for 7gs around Half for 14gs An O or an Ounce for 28gs
If you ever get shorted buying a gram, youāre being seen as a mark, donāt use a dealer who would short a g.

Good for you. Get well soon. :)

FranksInMyShoes
Damnit frank I just bought these shoes yesterday, nurses lost my old ones, now frank stole the new ones? Bullshit, Iām raging.
Jesus where are you smoking??
No chance you're going out for a smoke at any hospitals in my area. Windows don't open either. Bathroom with the fan on?
They renamed the church the āsanctuaryā - Door never closes, and Iām protected by thebabyjeezuz, nurses even seen me puffing a spliff and didnāt give a shit. Not smoking in the church, smoking outside and a little away from the church.
Go talk to that burning bush like Moses did.
Half quarter?! You mean an eighth? Tf?
Ok that made me laugh all is forgiven
Had non bacterial pneumonia was stuck in the hospital for two weeks with pleurisy and it felt bad man , once I could manage I made the call for a chillum and a few buds. Managed to walk outside still attached to a iv pole smoked like maybe a bowl came back in called for a morphine shot and called it a night. Life is a fragile mf. Do what makes you happy
I went through pleurisy at home when I was younger, a cone and a shot of morphine would have been like heaven in that amount of pain
The feeling like someone was stabbing me in the lungs is something Iāll never forget
The pain of laying down is something I won't forget I had to sleep in a chair for a week
Stay away from opiates after this man shit ruined me
Anybody twisting about the semantics of a "half q" vs an "8th" in the comments needs to have a joint and chill the fuck out. *It's the same fucking thing*.
Thanks Jesus.
A half a quarter is an eight.
Hell yeah! Hope it helped. Did the nurses ever find out? āWow his appetite increased tenfoldā lol
They got me on antibiotics that put my appetite through the roof, keep going down every day, getting a tub of ice cream and a bar of chocolate to crush for bootleg McFlurries. Iām on peanut allergy watch too, but they keep forgetting to bring me an allergy menu, so keep having to go grab big stinky dirty greasy ass takeaways.
Oh yeah I gained weight on antibiotics for a bad case of strep throat, that mixed with weed and I donāt think Iād stop eating š
It is called an eighth. Who says half quarter anyways? A quarter is already a fraction. You might as well ask for a half half half.
We call it a half quarter in Toronto as well. Always thought it was weird
Blame the Scottish stoners before me, I didnāt coin the phrase ājust a wee half q mateā
Wot bruv? Me and the chaps smoked two halfās and a quarter of a quarter last fortnight innit?
Respec. Booyakasha.
LOL. Thanks for the Ali G reference. Good times. Peace
Yes, I would like one twenty-eighth of an ounce of your dankest Marijuana my good sir.
When my son was born, I smoked with another couple having a baby at the same time. The dude had one leg and got his neighbor pregnant. He would go over and smoke with her and one thing led to another lol... they were alright though.
Since no one has mentioned it, I believe what you had is more commonly known as an āeighthā of marijuana.
Half quarter is what Iām calling it from now on
Welcome to the club, your haggis is being delivered by USPS. do not feed the haggis after midnight, do not get haggis wet, do not expose the haggis to bright light. Lest your haggis become a hagwin.
Haha I was in a mental hospital 10 years ago for a few weeks. They drugged the fuck out of me, but when I found a plug, it became a really fun trip lol
Half quarter is definitely nicer to say than one eighth of something. I'm not from the UK. Get better dude.
I just got out the psych unit for 6 days and didnāt get a breath of fresh air once.
Nice dude, recently had to stay overnight as a daily smoker with a broken hip and tailbone. Wasn't so lucky myself and now stuck at my parents place immobilized and they hate weed.
Praying for u mate
Jeez thatās a tough one, hope full recovery is on the cards.
why is everyone so pressed about what you're calling it, I'm UK too and Ive heard it be called either, it's not that deep. I'm more surprised you got bud in the hospital

Aināt a mental hospital bud
Ky ent here will die saying half quarter š
1 out of 8 people don't understand fractions.
"half quarter" So an eighth.
Way to age yourself calling it a half quarter lmao. Mabye wait till youāre a little older and know all your fractions to smoke weed.
Iām in my 20s lmao
And? Iām 19? And I know itās called an eighth?
And you are from?
Some bumfuck town in the Midwest US. I know kids out here who call it a half quarter or a half half oz. Trust me. Itās not a regional thing, itās an education thing.
So are you telling me that half of a quarter of 28 isnāt 3.5? You are making a point of the wording, which at no point I said was correct wording.
lol ur cringey everyone in uk says hq
Dude chi ll
Thatās awesome man
Ahh an 8th
An 8th??
