Unfamiliar terms like terpenes, cannabinoids, and sativa and indica are confusing. And cannabis weight measurements can befuddle new consumers even more. Gram, eighth, quarter, half-ounce, full-ounce – what does it all mean? 

As you might have already guessed, cannabis is usually measured in increments within an ounce. Of course, you can purchase marijuana from a Michigan provisioning center in smaller quantities – a gram at a time, or in more significant amounts up to the legal daily limit (2.5 ounces of flower). 

Depending on the provisioning center, there could be a cost-benefit to purchasing more substantial quantities. For example, it’s usually more cost-effective to buy an eighth (one-eighth of an ounce/3.5 grams), rather than purchasing three separate grams – it’s similar to a bulk discount. 

No matter the quantity, as we’ve mentioned, cannabis provisioning center measurements represent weed in relation to a full ounce. An eighth is ⅛ an ounce of cannabis, a quarter is ¼ an ounce, and a half is ½ an ounce.

It’s the smallest cannabis quantity by weight that you can buy. One gram is often enough to roll and enjoy a couple of joints (if you practice), or a few hearty bowls. 

One gram of cannabis can fit in the palm of your hand. If you’re a craft beer fan, you might think of one gram as the cannabis world’s taster glass. Gram purchases are great for sampling different cannabis strains.

An eighth by weight is 3.5 grams of cannabis, and for many Michiganders, it’s the perfect quantity – enough to always have weed on-hand without any going to waste. With an eighth, you can roll 7 half-gram joints or 14 quarter-gram bowls. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading]Quarter[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]A quarter is one-quarter of an ounce and weighs roughly 7 grams. You might consider purchasing a quarter when you find a strain (or strains) you love. You’ll enjoy many joints and bowls with a quarter ounce of weed.

If you’re getting the hang of this whole weed measurement game, you’ve probably figured out that half refers to a half-ounce of cannabis or 14 grams. If you’re an aspiring cannabis chef, you’ll likely purchase a half since most infused recipes call for a half-ounce of dried marijuana. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading]Ounce[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]A full ounce of cannabis weighs roughly 28 grams. Purchasing weed by the ounce is often the most cost-effective approach. Still, it’s a substantial quantity – we suggest that you work up to an ounce after experimenting with different strains to learn what kind of consumer you are – casual, daily, or many times per day.
