method" of birth control?

I could do a little better if I knew how much cocaine was in a "8 ball"  Anyone want to help me cheat on this test?

8 grams
at 28.x grams per ounce

I thought an eight ball was 1/8 of an ounce, ergo 3.5 grams.

Someone settle this so I won't look the fool the next time I order up some dope.

Well, if the grams are being sold at $42.50 each to Billy, then Jackson should have only paid $148.75 for his larger delivery at the ratio of 3.5 grams per 8 Ball.
Jackson got a $20 break on his volume to go spend on Chore Boy, lighters, and some 40oz for the party.

Dude Jamaal can keep up his drive by when empty.As long as his evil rifle has a Bayonet.You know how lethal the drive by Bayonettings are.
