Understanding Weed Measurements 🧠

Before we talk numbers, let’s decode the language. In the herb world, measurements bounce between the imperial and metric systems. While a full ounce is 28 grams, smaller increments have their own slang—eighth, quarter, half and so on. According to mg Magazine’s 2024 pricing guide, a quarter corresponds to ¼ ounce or 7 grams. This is a universal standard across dispensaries; an eighth is 3.5 grams and a half ounce is 14 grams. Knowing these benchmarks helps you order confidently and avoid overpaying.

Because many of us grew up using ounces and pounds, the metric conversions can be confusing. In simple terms, one ounce equals 28 grams, so a quarter ounce is exactly 7 grams. Anything labeled “quarter” in a shop or from a friend should weigh around seven grams. Keep in mind that some people refer to a quarter pound (QP) when they say “quarter,” which is four whole ounces (roughly 113 grams). If someone offers you a “quarter” for an unbelievably low price, double‑check whether they mean a quarter ounce or a quarter pound.

How Much Does a Quarter Bag Weigh? ⚖️

Why 7 Grams?

A quarter bag weighs seven grams. This isn’t a random number; it’s exactly one fourth of the 28‑gram ounce. Most dispensaries round slightly for convenience, so you’ll often see quarters pre‑packaged in 7‑gram containers. The weight may vary slightly due to natural moisture differences between strains, but it should hover around seven grams.

How Much Product Do You Get?

If you’re rolling, a quarter can yield roughly 7–10 joints depending on how tightly you roll. Bowl users typically get 15–20 sessions from a quarter, and vaporizer enthusiasts may stretch it even further because vaporizers extract more efficiently. For many consumers, a quarter is the sweet spot—enough to last a week or two without sacrificing freshness.

Quarter Ounce vs. Quarter Pound 🤔

One common mistake is confusing a quarter ounce with a quarter pound. A quarter ounce (7 grams) is what we’re talking about in this guide. A quarter pound is four ounces (about 113 grams), which is sixteen times more herb. If someone references a “QP,” they’re almost certainly talking about the larger quantity. Unless you’re a heavy consumer or running a business, a quarter pound is far more product than you’ll need.

Price Breakdown by State 💰

Prices for a quarter can vary dramatically depending on where you live, the quality of the flower and local taxes. In 2025, the national average was around $64, down from $68 the previous year. The Wallflower House guide offers a detailed state‑by‑state breakdown. Here’s a handy table with the latest numbers:

State	Low Price (USD)	High Price (USD)	Average Price (USD)
Oregon	$35	$50	$46.57
Colorado	$40	$60	$49.97
California	$50	$70	$60.00
Oklahoma	$48	$55	$50.00
Michigan	$45	$65	$55.00
Florida	$55	$65	$56.45
New York	$60	$80	$70.00
North Dakota	$80	$85	$82.06
Utah	$80	$85	$83.33
Washington DC	$100	$130	$126.55

Notice how Oregon offers some of the lowest prices while Washington DC tops the chart. Market maturity, supply chains and taxes heavily influence these numbers. Newer markets or states with strict regulations typically have higher pricing because fewer producers can drive supply.

Factors Affecting Price and Experience 🌱

Several factors shape the cost and experience of buying a quarter:

Location and Market Maturity

States with established recreational markets and robust competition tend to offer lower prices. Oregon’s abundant supply makes it one of the most affordable states, while places like North Dakota and Utah remain expensive because of limited licenses and restricted supply chains.

Quality and Strain Characteristics

Premium strains cost more. High THC content, unique terpene profiles and small‑batch cultivation all drive up the price. Conversely, mid‑tier strains or bulk promotions can bring the cost down to around $35–$40 per quarter. Consider trying mid‑range offerings to balance potency and budget.

Seasonal Variations and Supply

Harvest season (fall and early winter) increases supply and temporarily lowers prices. Conversely, supply disruptions like regulatory changes or extreme weather can raise costs.

Taxes

Local and state taxes can add $15–$25 to your quarter. High‑tax jurisdictions often make weed purchases significantly pricier than states with friendlier tax policies. When shopping, look for dispensaries that advertise tax‑inclusive pricing so there are no surprises at checkout.

Tips for Measuring and Storing Your Quarter 🎒

Want to make sure you’re getting exactly what you paid for? Consider investing in a small digital scale. They’re inexpensive and allow you to verify that your quarter weighs roughly seven grams. If your herb seems light, politely discuss it with your budtender or supplier.

Once you have your quarter, proper storage is key. Exposure to air, light and humidity can degrade your green quickly. Using weed bag options made from food‑safe materials keeps your herb fresh and discreet. Look for airtight seals and smell‑proof technology so your stash doesn’t dry out or lose potency. Many consumers choose Custom Smell Proof Flower Bags, which offer stylish designs and can be printed with your own artwork. If you’re serious about storage and branding, custom mylar bags provide heavy‑duty protection against light and moisture. These durable pouches are widely used in the industry and can feature your logo or unique patterns.

Always keep your stash in a cool, dark place. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill. Maintaining a stable environment helps preserve terpenes and potency for as long as possible.
