How much weed is enough? That is definitely a question where “your mileage may vary”! But if your budget only allows for a half ounce of bud, that’s still a pretty good amount.

Although there are ounce deals aplenty, that may still be a bit more money than you can scrape together. Fortunately, you can find all kinds of dispensary deals on smaller amounts. Eighths, quarters, and, of course, halves can be found at a discount.

Maybe for newbie stoners, these quantities might be confusing. What are the different weed marijuana measures? How many grams are in a half ounce anyway? We’ll look at the various weights of weed so that you can compare.

And once you know how much a ½ ounce is, you’ll likely want some idea of how much money you’ll need. Although there’s not one flat rate, we’ll compare pricing from different areas to give you an idea.

After you’ve got the size and price information, then you can go out and buy some bud. But then what do you do with a half-O? We’ll give you some suggestions to consider.

Finally, we will help you find the best bargains on a half-ounce of flower. We’ll show you how to search your particular area for the deals you desire. That is, after all, what Cannasaver does best.

So, there’s more to half an ounce than you might think. Let’s start with how it’s measured.

So, How Many Grams Are in a Half Ounce?

Lots of things we buy come in different sizes. Milk, for instance, can be found in pints, quarts, half gallons, and gallons. Pop comes in cans, glass bottles, and 2-liter plastic containers. Weed is like that too.

Marijuana is marketed in eighths, quarters, halves, and ounces. In some instances, pot comes in pounds. But it currently isn’t legal for consumers to buy it that way. 

Thus, ounces are usually the largest size at your local dispensary. And how big is an ‘O’? Technically, it’s 28.3 grams. However, it is often rounded to 28 grams. That makes it easier to subdivide.

That way, an eighth is 3.5 grams. A quarter is 7 grams. And halves are 14 grams.

Why grams? Because as part of the metric base-10 system of measurement, it’s easy to do the math. To multiply or divide tens, you just have to move the decimal. 

However, ounces and pounds are not metric. So, what’s up with that?

Mainly it’s due to the fact that Americans don’t like the metric system. So, they tend to stick with older units of measure like ounces and pounds. 

But an ounce is really close to 28 grams, so the two systems more or less work together. With some rounding.

Okay, so having had the amounts explained, what about the cost?

How Much Does a Half Ounce Typically Cost?

Before you decide if you have enough for any amount of cannabis, you might want to know the price.

But pot pricing isn’t universal. The cost of weed can vary depending on a number of factors. 

Geography is one thing that can affect cannabis costs. Some regions of the country are just more pricey. Think Beverly Hills versus downtown Los Angeles. It’s that way with rent, groceries, and weed, too.

Supply and demand of various strains can be another expense factor. Popular new strains may be in such high demand that they can charge more for them. 

Additionally, there is a tiered structure to weed. The premium weeds are called top shelf. The level below that is your mids. Then there are bottom shelf or lower tier strains. They are priced accordingly.

Every level of weed is generally good. Premium ganja tends to be higher in THC.

Medical marijuana prices tend to be a bit cheaper. In some instances, the THC levels are also stouter.

Provisioning center promotions are positive factors when it comes to paying for your pot. For many reasons, stoner stores like to discount weed. We will show you how to locate lit opportunities to save some dough.

But before we find bud bargains, we’ll give you a few representative prices for halves. Obviously, these are at the time of writing. Prices are subject to change. So if you live near one of these examples, call or visit their website before shopping.

So, what are some places charging?

• In Denver, Colorado, Pure Marijuana Dispensary has a ½ Oz at $75.15. 
• In Los Angeles, California, you can find a half at MisMady provisioning center for $90.
• What about the Midwest? Enlightened in Mount Prospect, Illinois, has the same amount of leaf for $170.

As you can see, prices are all over the place. Due to the factors listed above, it’s difficult to come up with an average price nationally. Therefore, you may need to check multiple pot shops in your area to find a baseline price for bud.

Once you have found and purchased a 1/2 ounce, what can you do with it?

What Can You Do With Half An Ounce?

So, 14 grams is a decent amount of ganja, and there’s a lot you can use it for. Like what? See for yourself.

• Obviously, you can take your ½ O and smoke it up. Depending on the size bowl on your pipe or bong, that could be a dozen smoke sessions or more. How long that will last is going depend on how much you smoke at once. A gram a day, for instance, will last a couple of weeks.
• Or you could roll a bunch of doobies. Or several blunts.
• When it comes to making cannabis-infused edibles or cannabutter, it turns out that halves are an ideal size. 
• You could also use it to make yourself some weed wax. 

If you need any amount of marijuana to last, then you have to moderate your smoking and toking. If you know that you’re going to resupply soon, then puff away with abandon.

Okay, so now that you know a few things. We’ve talked about how much a half-ounce is. Then we covered the costs. Lastly, you got some suggestions about using that much flower.
