How Much Is a Quarter in Grams? Cannabis & Coin Weights
A quarter ounce of cannabis weighs 7 grams. That's twice an eighth (3.5g) and half a half-ounce (14g). A US quarter coin weighs 5.67g, so don't mix them up.
How Much Is a Quarter in Grams? The Simple Answer
A quarter ounce of cannabis is exactly 7 grams. That's the standard answer you'll get at any dispensary, including ours here in Santa Rosa.
| Measurement | Grams | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Eighth (1/8 oz) | 3.5g | Personal stash, a few sessions |
| Quarter (1/4 oz) | 7g | Regular users, good value |
| Half ounce (1/2 oz) | 14g | Frequent users, bulk saving |
| Ounce (1 oz) | 28g | Heavy users, best per-gram price |
So yes, 7 grams is a quarter. If you're buying from us, you can order a quarter for pickup and it'll be ready in about 20 minutes.
Grams in a Half, Eighth, and Other Ounce Fractions
Here's how the other common ounce fractions break down in grams, so you can plan your purchase without doing math at the counter.
| Fraction | Grams | Approx. Joints* |
|---|---|---|
| Half eighth (1/16 oz) | 1.75g | 3–5 |
| Eighth (1/8 oz) | 3.5g | 7–10 |
| Quarter (1/4 oz) | 7g | 14–20 |
| Half ounce (1/2 oz) | 14g | 28–40 |
| Ounce (1 oz) | 28g | 56–80 |
*Joint count varies by size and how you roll. A half quarter is 1.75g, but most dispensaries don't sell that size—they'll sell you an eighth or a gram instead.

|---|---|---|
| Quarter pound (QP) | 113.4g | 4 oz |
| Half pound | 226.8g | 8 oz |

Quarter Coin vs. Quarter Ounce: Why the Gram Weight Differs
A US quarter coin weighs 5.67 grams, not 7. That's because it's a coin, not a cannabis measurement. Don't use a quarter to eyeball your weed weight.
| Item | Weight | |
|---|---|---|
| US quarter coin | 5.67g | |
| Quarter ounce of cannabis | 7g |
If you're weighing your stash, use a proper scale. And remember, our flower is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis available, so you know exactly what you're getting.

| Type | Grams | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| UK quarter (quarter of a hundredweight) | 12,700.59g | Used in British imperial weights |
