What size should I get?
Three questions, one suggestion.
We'd suggest
See it on the shelf →Most people buy an eighth (3.5 grams). If you are new, start smaller — a gram or a single pre-roll — and buy more once you know what you like. The right size is the one you will use while it is still fresh.
How much weed do people usually buy?
The eighth is the most commonly bought size by a wide margin. It is enough to try a strain properly without committing to a large amount, and it stays fresh. People who use flower most days often move up to a quarter or a half.
How much weed is in a bowl?
A small bowl usually holds somewhere around a quarter to half a gram, depending on the pipe and how tightly it is packed. So an eighth fills several bowls.
How much is in a pre-roll?
Single pre-rolls on our shelf are mostly 1 gram each, with multi-packs that add up to a few grams. A single pre-roll is an easy way to try a strain with nothing to grind or roll.
How many nugs is a 3.5?
There is no fixed number. An eighth can be a few large dense buds or a dozen or more small ones — the weight is what matters, and every licensed package states it. The 3.5 grams guide explains why an eighth is 3.5.
Keeping it fresh
Flower dries out and loses its aroma over time. Store it airtight, cool and out of the light, and buy a size you will finish while it is at its best.
