Concentrate like that is usually sold by the gram. I’m going to assume they phrased it like that so we stoners can immediately visualize it as 3000 1g pots.
Every professional that deals with stuff that needs around 1mm precision uses mm. Metal roofing, gutters, any machining, etc. It is to prevent ambiguity. I used to build roofs and for like wooden beams we used meters and cm, but that was because a couple mm here and there rarely ever mattered. All in all using mm is usually the best choice.
Sure. I’m not a professional machinist. I have worked on roofs and all sheet metal things are in mm. I have even worked for a company that makes those metal things and as a customer for another one. I also was by far the best at technical drawing in school, not to brag. And all the schematics for things I have seen are in mm, for example https://www.iclarified.com/images/news/48931/228250/228250-1280.png . Disclaimer, all the schematics that are not in, ugh, inches (or architecture).
Sure, if I made something for someone they can give me dimensions in Smoots for all I care. But I would transform it into mm, and would never buy tools that don’t use mm.
For context, I am not in an english speaking country nor Myanmar.
Edit: Actually I have seen house schematics in mm as well. I thing they now give out in m, but use mm internally (depending on architecture firm).
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.
Americans will use anything but the metric system … unless it’s important.

Bingo
Who says 3000 grams instead of 3 kg anyway.

A lot of times it’s based on precision. Kinda makes sense to say 1,000 mm if the spec is +/- a mm or 2 imo

What professional area? Because I don’t recall ever seeing listings of thousands of mm.
For me (in my native language), this means 3g, not 3 kg. :)

The difference is small, but 3g != 3G.
People do it when they want to make the thing they’re presenting sound more impressive or bigger.
I’ll have you know I have a whole 27343 cents in my bank account.

Drug math, keys are for coke.
