One often hears people say an eighth or a half quarter when referring to cannabis. Just how much weed is that exactly?

Article content

An eighth of cannabis refers to an eighth of an ounce, the amount most frequently purchased by moderate consumers. Converted to the metric system, an eighth translates to a little over 3.5 grams.

Article content

About the size of a walnut—and depending on one’s appetite—an eighth is enough to roll up to three blunts, three to four large joints or approximately seven half-gram joints.

Article content

Fun fact: An eighth of cannabis is often called a slice or a cut. This is because pizzas oftentimes are divided into eight slices.

Article content

Half-eighth of cannabis

Article content

The name says it all: It’s one half of an eighth of an ounce. Although rare for sale on the legal market, one may still hear the term from time to time. A half-eighth of cannabis is around 1.7 g to 1.8 g, enough for several medium joints.

Article content

Quarter of cannabis

Article content

Slang names like Q, quad or just a quarter refer to a quarter of an ounce. That’s approximately 7.0874 g, but is usually rounded to precisely seven g.

Article contentArticle content

Intermediate users generally like to buy a quarter, which can last for days, or even weeks depending on frequency of use.

Half of cannabis

Article content

Following the same logic, a half of weed refers to a half of ounce of weed. Whil a half is 14.1747 g of dried cannabis, it’s rounded to 14 grams.

Article content

With this amount of cannabis, the price really starts to break, although it will also depend on the quality of the buds in question.

Article content

A half of weed is about the size of an orange. If a person wants to make some edibles, this is the amount usually required in recipes for making cannabutter, which is at the core of all canna-edibles.

Article content

Regular users like to buy half of an ounce, so they don’t need to refill their stash so often.

Article content

Fun fact: A half of weed is perfect for parties, road trips and other activities of that nature.

Article content

Ounce of cannabis

Article content

An ounce of weed is exactly that—a full ounce—or precisely 28.3495 g, though it’s usually sold as 28 grams. Its name is often just abbreviated to O, or it can be referred to as a “zip”.
