not necessarily

as i pointed out the issue is mass to volume: they are different things

for e.g. 1 tsp of lead shots is going to weigh a lot more than 1 tsp of

water

 

more subtly, one tsp of cut and sifted herb is going to weigh less than

one tsp of the finely powdered herb

doses for powdered herbs should be given according to weight, liquids

according to volume

fortunately we are dealing with herbs, which have a large therapeutic

window and are forgiving

 

btw, the advantage of metric over the old english measurements is that

when you work in units of the math is easier, and the equivalencies are

standardized

e.g. 1 g (weight) of water is exactly 1 mL (volume)
