The world of cannabis has its own set of rules and its own system of measurement. Even if you have been a cannabis consumer for years, calculating how many ounces or grams you need to buy can be tricky. 

Whether you are buying medical marijuana or purchasing for recreational use, you need to learn the basics of cannabis measurements, like quarters, halves, eighths, and grams. Likewise, it is important to know how much cannabis flower you can legally possess in different jurisdictions, how many uses you can expect with a quarter, and what a quarter ounce of marijuana looks like. 

Looking for straightforward answers to these questions? We´ve got you covered! This guide will tell you everything you always wanted to know about marijuana quarters. Read on! 

What Is a Quarter of Marijuana?

In the cannabis world, a quarter is a quarter-ounce of dried cannabis flower. If you have never seen a quarter, you may imagine that it won´t be much, but that is not the case. A quarter-ounce is a sizable amount of marijuana, and even if you smoke regularly, you may need more than a week to go through it. 

What Does a Quarter of Cannabis Look Like?

To visualize a quarter, it can be helpful to think of a half and divide that visual image by two. A half will fit inside a regular sandwich bag. So, imagine half of that, which will typically fit into an open palm. In other words, a quarter is more or less a handful of marijuana flower.

Slang Terms for a Quarter-ounce

As people aren´t always that formal in the cannabis industry, there are some useful slang terms for common cannabis amounts. The most popular slang term to describe a quarter is "a dime bag." If you hear anyone saying they just purchased a dime bag of marijuana, they mean a small bag with 7 grams of flower. Related slang terms are "a zip," which refers to an ounce, and a "half-zip," which refers to a half-ounce. 

How Many Joints Can You Roll with a Quarter-ounce of Cannabis?

Got your calculator with you? We are about to do a bit of math. An ounce equals approximately 28 grams, so a quarter-ounce would be 7 grams. Since the average joint has 0.32 grams of cannabis, that makes three joints per gram. Multiply 7 grams by 3 joints, and you get 21 joints. But some people may make larger joints, so, realistically, a quarter will likely yield 10-20 joints. As mentioned earlier, if you smoke an average-size joint a day, a quarter might be enough for 2-3 weeks. 

How Much is a Quarter in Comparison to a Gram? 

As you already know, an ounce equals approximately 28 grams, 28.3495 grams, to be exact. A quarter will be 28.3495 divided by 4, which is 7.0874 grams. However, the scales your local dispensary uses won´t measure with that level of precision. When you order a quarter, you will usually get 7 grams

​​How Much Does a Quarter of Marijuana Cost?

Marijuana prices vary significantly between states. The price for a quarter of marijuana also depends on the type of cannabis flower you're looking for. The same amount of premium bunds will cost more than trim or popcorn for example. 

​​If you want to avoid crazy prices, look for a RISE dispensary near you. There are Rise dispensaries in most legal states, and we strive to keep our pricing consistent. 

What Can You Do With a Quarter of Cannabis? 

​​A quarter of marijuana can go a long way if you use it wisely. You may wanna roll 10 small joints, and you will still have enough to make a cup of cannabis butter, which you can later use to make edibles. Alternatively, you could grind your marijuana flower and fill up a few pipes. 

Whatever you choose to do with your quality cannabis quarter, it will surely provide much pleasure and relaxation

Can You Legally Possess a Quarter of Marijuana? 

It depends on where you live. Different states have enacted different rules to control cannabis possession. On the other hand, in some states where recreational marijuana is still illegal, it is not only a matter of how much, but also what type of cannabis, and THC percentage will also play a role. Basically, you won´t be allowed to possess anything with more than 0.3% of THC.
