Is a Quarter Right for You? Casual vs. Regular Use
A good fit if…
- You smoke a few times a week. A quarter can last a casual user one to two weeks.
- You want to save money per gram. Buying a quarter usually offers better value than buying eighths.
- You like variety. You can mix strains or share with a friend.
Consider another option if…
- You're a daily heavy smoker. You might finish a quarter in a few days and prefer a half or ounce.
- You're trying it for the first time. Start with an eighth to gauge your tolerance.
If you're still unsure, stop by Garden of Eden in Tracy and ask a budtender. They can help you choose the right amount based on your habits.
