A gram is a little less than the weight of the paper clip, almost 1.4 g, but also depends on the quality and manufacturing company.

- No offense intended, but where you wrote more, did you mean less? 1.4g is more that 1g :)

Treat crack, cocaine the same
In the only scientific way to measure them, one gram of crack and one gram of cocaine are the same thing. Pharmacologically, both illegal substances have the same effects-and despite persistent reports to the contrary, both are equally addictive.
Yet, if you're caught with five grams of crack, you receive the same mandatory penalties-five years in prison without parole-as if you were carrying five hundred grams of cocaine. That's a one-hundred to one difference.

If you really want to know, say for a balance scale--some clips are heavier, especially the coated kind, so take a box of the clips you use to the post office, weigh them on their scale, count and divide the weight by the number. There are 28.3 grams in an ounce.
