So, how many grams in an eighth of weed? If you’re new to buying bud — or just forgot after a heavy sesh — no shame. An eighth is one of the most common weed measurements you’ll hear tossed around at the dispensary or from your plug. Let’s break it down in stoner-speak so it sticks.
An eighth means 1/8 of an ounce, which equals exactly 3.5 grams of weed. You’ll see it written as “⅛” or just hear people say “let me get an eighth.” It’s one of the most popular amounts people buy because it’s affordable and lasts a decent amount of time for most smokers.
The price of an eighth depends on your state, quality of the bud, and where you’re buying it. Expect:
If you’re buying from a dispensary in a legal state, taxes could bump that even higher. But if you’re scoring from your neighborhood weed dude, it might be cheaper — or sketchier. Choose wisely.
This depends on the density of the nugs, but in general:
Some people say an eighth of weed is about the size of a golf ball. The truth is, 3.5 grams will look different every time depending on the strain. Trust your scale — not your eyes.
Here’s a rough breakdown based on your roll style:
Of course, if you’re rolling blunts, it’s gonna go fast. But if you’re microdosing or using a vaporizer, 3.5 grams can actually stretch pretty far.
That depends on your tolerance and how you toke:
If you’re trying to stretch it, use a grinder, pack smaller bowls, or switch to vaping.
A lot of new smokers think an eighth is some random term or just a dealer special. Nope. It’s an actual weight based on ounces. Here’s what to avoid:

I live in "weed saturated Colorado" and it's amazing. The dispensaries are generally clumped together in areas that welcome the business. Generally you either live near half a dozen shops or nowhere near any shops.
If you're still reading because you play with the idea of moving here for the quality of life legal marijuana can buy you should know you still get tested for pot to get and keep most jobs.
Living here is like living in a world where things really are the way they should be. Colorado isn't perfect, but it's enlightened and as beautiful as people say.
I bought 10 grams for like $100 is that a fair deal? it's not top shelf chronic but is quite stronger than reggie.
