If you ever plan on purchasing cannabis, you’re going to want to know, how much is a gram of weed visually? A scale is an obvious way to keep track. However, you won’t always have your own scale on you. So it’s good to be able to visually tell the difference between 1 gram of weed and an eighth.
Converting From Ounces To Grams
First, you’ll want to learn how to convert from grams to ounces. Unless you plan to only buy dimes and dub bags for the rest of your life. The names eighth, quarter and halves are all sizes in relation to a full ounce. These are the main conversion you’ll need to know when purchasing various quantities of cannabis:
- Eighth: 3.5 grams
- Quarter: 7 grams
- Half: 14 grams
- Ounce: 28 grams
What Does A Gram Of Weed Look Like?
Some nugs are loose and fluffy while others are compact and dense. As a result, two different size nugs might end up weighing the same.
To help you visually understand what a gram of weed looks like we got some nugs from Slo Grown Genetics that weren’t too dense or too fluffy to weigh out. Then we weighed the main quantities you’ll see for sale out at the Rosin Tech Products booth during the SoCal Cannabis Cup.
This is what a gram looks like.
Compare it to the pictures of an eighth, quarter, half ounce and ounce. It should look like enough weed to roll a joint that can be shared.
