Cannabis Weights Explained: Grams, Eighths and Ounces

Cannabis flower is sold by weight, and dispensary menus use a few terms worth knowing before you shop.

Common flower weights

  • 1 gram: a small amount, good for trying a strain.
  • Eighth: 3.5 grams (an eighth of an ounce).
  • Quarter: 7 grams.
  • Half ounce: 14 grams.
  • Ounce: 28 grams.

What Michigan's purchase limit allows

Michigan allows adults 21 and older to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana per transaction, of which no more than 15 grams may be concentrate. Budtenders help you stay within that limit at checkout.

Edibles and concentrates are measured differently

Flower and concentrate are sold by weight, while edibles and beverages are dosed in milligrams of THC. So an edible package lists milligrams, not grams.
