“How much weed should I buy?”
It’s a question our budtenders get asked a lot at the counter. And the answer is: it depends on your habits, tolerances, and experiences. You can make a solid judgment call on your next purchases with our beginner-friendly cannabis buying guide. Learn more about what the weed quantities you see on the menu mean.
What Is an Eighth, Quarter, and Half Ounce?
Understanding weed measurements is key to comparing packages and prices. Cannabis measurements are based on weight:
- One gram is a small trial size, usually enough for one or two joints.
- An eighth of weed is 3.5 grams.
- A quarter ounce of weed is 7 grams.
- A half ounce of weed is 14 grams.
- An ounce of weed is 28.35 grams (rounded to 28).
A typical joint contains between 0.5 and 1 gram of cannabis, depending on how you roll it.
How Long Does Weed Last?
Cannabis quantities depend on how often you use it and how much you use in a single session. If you use weed occasionally, an eighth could last you for several weeks. If you consume more regularly, it could be more cost-effective to purchase a larger amount, like a half or full ounce. Pay attention to your own pace to determine how much you want to purchase in one shopping trip.
