So I was curious and decide to weight my Ritalin perscription. The script says "10mg" so I assume each is 10mg. So I place 1 on a scale and the scale reads "0.1" when set to grams. Now if it really weighed 10mg, then shouldn't 1 pill not even read on the scale since 1g=1000mg?
Tl;dr does the weight on a pill/capsule represent the full weight of the pill/capsule, or is that weight correlate to the amount of that substance in the pill/capsule?

are you fucking retarded?

you weigh the chemikillz.
so if it says 0.1 chemikillz that means you have a 10% chance of dying if you take it.
0.1 times 100%

now before I address you as retardo deluxe, I will say that the 10 mg refers to the active compound in the pill, in this case Methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate, the rest of the weight are excipients
now I'm no chemist, so a more knowledgeable nerd please feel free to correct me

I too will raise the question: are you retarded?
For any pill, ritalin or anything else, the pill contains inactive ingredients like binders that hold the pill together, and various other chemicals. It indeed has 10mg of methylphenidate, but a Ritalin pill is not just pure methylphenidate - it contains other chemicals, and therefore weighs more than 10mg. If you didn't immediately realize this yourself, you're retarded and should probably drop out of college if you're attending one (which I assume you are if you're taking ritalin).

This is what I assumed, but I wanted an exact answer. I don't usually fuck around with pill manufacturing.
