How much weed is?
Buying weed can be overwhelming when you don’t know how much weed is or what the measurements are. Budtenders tend to rush you when the line is backed up, leaving you confused AF. Don’t fret. Our CampNova editors have the measurements broken down in the easiest way to understand.
How much is a gram of weed?
One of the smallest weed measurements available for purchase is the gram. And no, not grandma. A gram is actually one milligram. You’ve probably heard someone ask, “How much is a dime bag?” or “How much is 10-sack?”
Those are just slang terms for a gram. Don’t let the slang confuse you on pricing, just because you hear dime or 10 doesn’t mean the cost of the gram is the same. The cost of a gram can range between $5-$20 and depends on the quality of the cannabis, where you are buying it from, considering sales tax which varies in different states and shops. You also want to take into account, if it’s a pre-roll which can also vary in price.
Though just a gram, you can stretch it out for a couple days by packing bowls. Either with a bong or a pipe, you can pack about five to six bowls or you can roll two joints or a fat blunt.
How much is an eighth of weed?
You don’t need to be a mathematician to figure this one out. An eighth weighs out to 3.5 grams, so if you see this ⅛ it means that 3.5 grams goes into an ounce eight times. You may have heard your homie say,” how much is a slice” or “how much is a half-quarter” that’s slang for an eighth.
The eighth is the most common weed measurement purchased at shops and the average cost ranges from $15-$60, depending on where you get it. Do not get confused when you hear the term dub, a dub isn’t quite an eighth, it’s a 20, meaning you’re paying $20 for weed. You can roll about six joints and three fat blunts with an eighth or fit it into one fat backwood if you’re feeling hazy.
How much is a quarter of weed?
Let’s say you have two eighths. So by combining them — the total amount would add up to a quarter. When you hear quarter, I’m not talking about 25 cents, I’m talking seven grams. What is a quarter you might ask, it’s ¼ of an ounce, the slang term would be, “quad.”
The average cost of a quarter ranges between $40-$90 depending on quality and location. You can twist big with a quad. You can roll about seven blunts or 12 joints. This amount would be great for a weekend trip. So now you won’t have to ask, “how much is a quad”, because you’ll have it covered.

Let’s talk half-ounces. A half-ounce also known as a half-o or half-zip weighs out to 14 grams and can break down into two quarters or even four eighths. Wow! Cannabis math is fun, right?. A half-o can range between $70-$160 and once again cost varies due to quality and location.

What is Quality weed?
When talking about quality you want to use four out of your five senses: touch, smell, sight and taste. By touching your flower you can tell if it’s fresh or not, a little squeeze can turn a beautiful nug into powder, which is not good. You want to look for weed that is sticky and hard to break down, that’s where a grinder comes in handy. The smell is a great giveaway when it comes to weed, the stronger the smell the better the bud, unless it smells like literal trash, avoid that. When using the gift of sight, if it’s green with some frosty trichomes with orange hairs you’re in the clear but if it’s brown with tons of seeds, yell, “Kobe” and send it flying to the trash. Last is the biggest giveaway to determine if its quality or not, the taste. There are so many different stains with tons of different flavors, from fruity to piney, you can even taste peppery flavors. This is what you should look for in quality weed, if it tastes dry and harsh, it’s not quality.
