When it comes to measuring cannabis, several units are commonly used. The most basic unit is the gram (g), equivalent to one-thousandth of a kilogram.
This small unit is often used to measure smaller quantities of cannabis. Moving up the scale, the ounce (oz) is a more substantial measurement, equal to approximately 28 grams.
1 Oz = 28.3495 gm
The ounce is frequently used for larger quantities of cannabis, particularly in countries where the metric system is not the primary unit of measurement. Finally, the pound (lb) represents a significant quantity of cannabis, equivalent to approximately 16 ounces or 453 grams.
Focus on the “Quarter” Measurement
Within cannabis measurements, the “quarter” holds particular significance. A quarter refers to one-fourth (1/4) of an ounce or approximately 7 grams.
1 Quarter = 1/4 Oz = 7 gm
The term “quarter” has gained popularity and is widely used by cannabis enthusiasts and sellers. It is considered a moderate quantity, balancing smaller personal amounts and larger bulk purchases.
