What does an eighth weigh?

An eighth of weed is simply that, an eighth of an ounce. This is a total of 3.54 grams for the metric thinkers and 3.5 grams straight on the street. But, how much weed there is in a deal varies depending on how tightly packed the heads are. Cannabis is light so it takes quite a few buds to get correct weight. This is a good size deal to start off with as it is a good handful of cannabis that fills the bottom of a sandwich bag.

How long will it last? Well, that depends on how much you use at a time. Smoking occasionally, it will last for a couple of weeks. Enjoying a smoke every night after work maybe a week. An eighth is enough for a weekend party with a couple of friends.

The ideal amount

People think an eighth of weed is an ideal amount. It’s affordable and it is enough that you will not smoke it all at once, but BC Seeds strains fetch up to 1000% more per ounce because it’s the leading edge. It’s THC is so high, large legal grow operations are buying literally millions of bc seeds at retail costs, keeping many retail customers angry because they cannot find stock. It’s less work dealing with a few large large customers instead of millions of small retail customers. When the green rush is finished, bc seeds will be able to focus on the individual again. It’s been a decade, and it this green rush can’t go on forever but it look likely it could continue for at least two more years.

A gram is too small for cost effectiveness

Whatever. It makes a good size for a first-time buyer to try. A gram is a minuscule amount in today’s age. Buying an eighth saves money and another trip to the cannabis shop.
