Quarter
One-quarter of an ounce of cannabis, equal to 7 grams, a standard bulk purchase amount.
A quarter is one-quarter of an ounce of cannabis, equal to 7 grams. It is a popular purchase size for regular consumers who want more than an eighth but are not ready to commit to a full half-ounce or ounce. A quarter provides approximately 14 to 20 joints or 20 to 30 bowl packs depending on packing size.
Value Proposition
Quarters often represent the sweet spot between per-gram pricing and total spend. Many dispensaries offer a slight price break on quarters compared to buying two separate eighths, making it a smart choice for consumers who know they enjoy a particular strain. The quantity is large enough to last a moderate consumer two to three weeks while still being small enough to consume before freshness degrades significantly.
Buying Tips
When purchasing a quarter, consider whether you want a single strain or prefer variety. Some consumers buy a quarter of their go-to strain for reliability, while others prefer buying two eighths of different strains for rotation. A quarter is also a practical quantity for making small batches of homemade edibles or tinctures, providing enough raw material for a meaningful infusion. Store your quarter in an airtight glass jar with a humidity control pack (like Boveda) to maintain optimal freshness throughout its use.
