Some people can eye these things, but if you are new to this, it’s a good idea to buy a scale. That way you can weigh weed and know for sure.

Here’s the deal:

Size is different than weight. A fat juicy bud may look like it weighs half of a gram, but if it’s fluffy rather than dense, it probably does not.  On the other hand, I’ve grown some tiny, dense buds that would knock you out cold. My point is, without a scale, it is easy to confuse size for weight when you do not use a scale.

How to Measure a Gram of Weed or “Dime Bag”

A gram is the typical unit for people looking to buy a small amount of weed, and it generally doesn’t get any lower than one gram.

Different Units Of Measurement For Growers

For most people, one gram of weed will last them a couple rounds of smoking, some a few days or weeks depending on your intake level. Some prefer to put the entire gram into one blunt, however, to achieve a more intense high.

In general, buying weed in eighths is going to be a better deal than if you bought it in grams. It’s also important to note that half-eighths are also a common measurement for weed dealers and buyers, weighing in at 1.75 grams.

One-half of weed refers to a half of an ounce, which, as logic dictates, is twice the amount of two quarters. If you want to get even more in-depth with it, it is also the equivalent of four marijuana eighths, which is the same as the weight of 14 grams. This is a lot of weed, only the biggest parties or regular medical users might need that much.

Finding this much at one time legally is rare. It’s also the legal limit in many recreational states. So, if you do have that much, it will provide you and all of your friends with enough for a long while.

In case you are not familiar with the Metric System of measurement, it’s important to note that one kilo (or kilogram) equals 1000 grams. It is the largest unit of measure in which you might buy weed (and is more than twice the weight of one pound). For this reason, it is typically related to traffickers. Simply put, amateurs or newbies wouldn’t be buying a kilo of weed.

Once you remember to weigh your weed, instead of merely eyeing it, you’ll quickly get the hang of marijuana measurements. Plus, most dispensaries do that part for you, so if you are buying legally, you just need to figure out how much is enough.
