Pretty sure bullets are copper jacketed weed nuggets. Grain is a measurement of how seedy the weed is, and hence how much damage it does. 115 grain means it's a weed nugget with the weight of 115 seeds being fired.
Americans should use the Metric system the way Canadians do:
Temperature: Celsius. Unless it's for cooking, or you're talking about the temperature of a pool.
Length: Metric. Unless it's talking about a person's height. Or, you're talking about lumber.
Mass / Weight: Pounds. Unless you're talking small weights, then you use grams. If you're shopping, it's 50/50. If it's really big weights it's "tons" which might be metric or might not.
Volume: Metric. Except if you're cooking. But, then when you're cooking you have to figure out what a fl. oz. is because Canadian cans are in mL but the recipe is flozzameters.

Another example of how America’s war on drugs was won by drugs.

Meanwhile, in weed land, our heroes embark on a quest for the great 1/8 in many countries.
It’s hard to walk up to a counter and ask for 3 point 5 of weed.
Edit: just an observation, I’m on team metric. Call weed whatever you want as long as around here we keep calling it legal.

the first metric conversion I learned: 3.5 grams to an eighth.

the virgin 1/8=3.5g vs the Chad 1/4=7g

In slang sure, but every dispensary website I've seen lists them as 3.5g, 7g etc

you’ll just say 4 gs or 3 gs.

9mm? Clearly you mean .35 or .38 .

Grams? I measure the most important part of that in grains.

Can't say I've ever met anyone who measured weed in grains

Don’t care about the weed. The projectile bullet is probably 115 or 124 “grains” of lead in a copper jacket.

Once you learn that 1/8 == 3.5g it's a slippery slope to:
Slangin sacks without the metric system? Not even once.
