Weren't the French your friends during the time it was invented? Didn't they help you out a lot during your early days as a country?

We've been using the metric system for nearly 30 years now. Iraq wasn't a problem back then.

You're still at the stage where you put both systems on most of your products and you also have the short form as an abbreviation instead of a symbol. There is no period after the g or the m, or the l.

I don't think they've altered the cultivation law here yet. I think the strategy is for the police to just look the other way unless it's a major grow operation.
