>I had a friendly argument with a friend about weight of pills. I say that a 1mg pill actually weights 1mg. And a 100mg pill weights 100mg. And the size of the pill (where we see that a 100mg pill is not 100 times larger than 1mg) is simply the function of weight and density. He says that the weight of the pill written on the label is not the actual weight but "something else." Who is right? I wish I had a small scale to actually weight a pill. Or if know of an online reference about this, please let me know.

The "something else" is the weight of the active ingredient in the pill.
