How Many Eighths Are in a Zip of Weed? Quick Guide
There are 8 eighths in one zip (ounce) of weed. Since an eighth is 3.5 grams and a zip is 28 grams, dividing 28 by 3.5 gives you 8 eighths.
The Math: How Many Eighths Make a Zip?
One zip (also called an ounce) equals 28 grams of cannabis. An eighth is 3.5 grams. To find the number of eighths in a zip, divide 28 by 3.5:
| Unit | Grams | Eighths per Zip |
|---|---|---|
| Zip (ounce) | 28 g | 8 |
| Eighth | 3.5 g | 1 |
| Quarter | 7 g | 2 |
| Half-ounce | 14 g | 4 |
So one zip gives you exactly 8 eighths. This is the standard measurement used by dispensaries like Garden of Eden Tracy.
Using Eighths to Plan Your Zip Purchase
Knowing there are 8 eighths in a zip helps you decide how much to buy or how to split with friends. Here's how to decide if a zip or eighths are right for you.
A good fit if…
- You want to share evenly – A zip splits perfectly into 8 eighths, so each friend gets the same amount.
- You're stocking up – Buying a zip often saves money compared to buying individual eighths.
- You need variety – You can buy a zip and portion it into eighths of different strains from our menu.
Consider another option if…
- You're a light user – An eighth (3.5 g) may last you weeks, so a zip could be too much.
- You want to try before committing – Start with an eighth of a new strain before buying a full zip.
To decide, think about how much you consume per week and whether you're sharing. Our budtenders at Garden of Eden Tracy can help you choose the right amount.
