How Many Grams in 1/8 of Marijuana?

 

When purchasing cannabis, the 1/8 (one eighth) quantity is a very popular one. But how many grams are actually in 1/8 of an ounce of marijuana?

 

one eighth of weed - 1/8

For all intents and purposes, an eighth of cannabis is 3.5 grams; this is the amount you’ll be purchasing when buy 1/8 from a dealer or cannabis outlet. However, technically speaking 1/8 of marijuana is 3.54 grams.

The same slight discrepancy is true of all other typical forms of marijuana quantities that are sold. You’ll often hear weed sold in lots of one eighths of an ounce, one quarter of an ounce, one half of an ounce and a full ounce:

    Back in my underground gardening days, I had an old balance scale but without a half gram weight. So, I decided to make 32 gr. OZ’s Makes the division simpler, I could use my scale without guessing and it made a lot of my friends more than satisfied with their commerce. Besides, in my world, it’s about the product, not the profit.
