Grams in an 8th

The term eight basically means an eight of an ounce or 3.5 grams. Practically, an eighth of weed can give you three full-gram joints and one half-gram joint or seven smaller ones. An eighth of weed can be able to roll two to three quantities of blunts or handfuls of spliffs.

Grams in a Quarter

For the average cannabis consumer purchasing at a dispensary or online shop, a quarter simply means a quarter of an ounce of weed. To make it more specific, a quarter is 7 grams of weed, double of an eighth. It's one of the most popular measurements because the effect will definitely last longer. It is also equivalent to 7 joints and maybe 10 bowls. It depends on the size of the pipe. 


When it comes to the price range of the quarter it can range from $50 to $100. However, it still varies based on the factors that need consideration. Also, even though some companies and brands offer quarter-packaged weeds it's still not popular as eighth. In this case, you'll probably buy two separate eights to achieve a quad.


Grams in an Ounce

The biggest amount of cannabis and the legal limit to purchase in most states is an ounce. This converts to 28 grams of weed and is commonly known as zip. An ounce will ideally last for a few weeks or even a month. 


Most of the time, dispensaries do not have ounce bags, so they simply add together eighths or gram packages and then add them all to be equivalent to 28 grams. 


An ounce of weed's average price somewhere in your neighborhood might be $320. The pricing may vary depending on your location.
