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.
