Americans will use anything but the metric system … unless it’s important.
Who says 3000 grams instead of 3 kg anyway.
People do it when they want to make the thing they’re presenting sound more impressive or bigger.
This isn’t a real thing, I’ve never heard anyone say “thousands of grams” in my whole life.
When people (and I mean, usually law enforcement) want to inflate the numbers on drug busts, they convert it to “doses” at some unknown conversion rate, or to “market value”. Which kinda makes some sense, because it takes into account the purity level, but still sounds weird.
