Cannabis Measurements Explained
Before we dive into pricing, let's clarify cannabis measurements. Understanding these will help you get the best value for your money.
The Metric System: Grams to Ounces
1 ounce (oz) = 28 grams
This is the standard conversion you'll see at every dispensary in New Jersey. Here's how it breaks down:
| Measurement | Grams | Common Name | Typical Price Range (NJ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | 1g | "A gram" | $15-$25 |
| Eighth | 3.5g | "An eighth" or "slice" | $40-$70 |
| Quarter | 7g | "A quarter" | $70-$130 |
| Half ounce | 14g | "A half" | $130-$220 |
| Full ounce | 28g | "An ounce" or "zip" | $200-$400 |
Why Buy in Bulk?
The larger the quantity, the better the price per gram. Here's the math:
- Buying grams individually: $20/gram × 28 grams = $560 for an ounce
- Buying an ounce: $280 average = 50% savings
If you're a regular cannabis consumer, buying by the ounce is the most economical choice.
