Nah, Americans use metric for selling drugs at the very least.

You can’t buy a cup of crack in the US?

Volumetric measurements aren’t really good for drugs, the density of the drug may vary depending on quality, origin or manufacturer, in the case of crack and meth. Weight is always better, but then you measure with half, quarter, eighth and sixteenths of ounces. See, we do have to use fractions after all.

A fuckton is 2000 fucking pounds. A fucktonne (note the spelling… metric) is 1000 fucking kilograms.

Fun fact, in America, a ton is 2000 pounds, which is slightly less than a metric ton. In America if you order a ton of bricks, you’d get less bricks than you would if you ordered it in France.
