How Many Grams Is a Quarter? Weed, Coin, and Quarter Pound Answers
A quarter of weed is 7 grams (one quarter of an ounce). In cannabis, a quarter (also called a quad) is 7 grams, an eighth is 3.5 grams, and an ounce is 28 grams. A quarter pound (QP) is 113 grams.
How Many Grams Are in a Quarter of Weed?
The answer is simple: a quarter of cannabis equals 7 grams. In the cannabis world, a quarter is one quarter of an ounce, and an ounce is 28 grams. So 28 ÷ 4 = 7 grams. This is a standard measurement used by dispensaries like Garden of Eden in Tracy.
Here's how a quarter fits into the common weed measurement scale:
| Measurement | Grams | Common Name |
|---|---|---|
| Eighth | 3.5 grams | Half of a quarter |
| Quarter | 7 grams | Quad |
| Half ounce | 14 grams | Half |
| Ounce | 28 grams | Zip |
A quarter is a popular amount for regular smokers — it lasts a moderate user about a week or two, depending on frequency. For heavier smokers, 7 grams might last a few days. If you're wondering how long 7 grams lasts for a heavy smoker, see our detailed guide.
Weed Measurements: Eighth, Quarter, Ounce, and More
Understanding cannabis weight denominations helps you buy the right amount. Here's a quick reference table:
| Amount | Grams | Slang Name | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gram | 1 gram | Dime bag (sometimes) | Single use or sample |
| Eighth | 3.5 grams | Eighth | Casual user, a few sessions |
| Quarter | 7 grams | Quad | Regular user, lasts a week+ |
| Half ounce | 14 grams | Half | Frequent user, stock up |
| Ounce | 28 grams | Zip | Heavy user or cost savings |
| Quarter pound | 113 grams | QP | Bulk purchase |
| Pound | 453 grams | Pound | Wholesale |
If you're new to buying, an eighth (3.5 grams) is a good starting point. A quarter (7 grams) gives you more value per gram. For a deeper look at eighths, check our full guide on quarter grams.
How Many Grams in a Quarter Pound?
A quarter pound (often called a QP) is a different measurement from a quarter ounce. One pound equals 453 grams (approximately), so a quarter pound is 453 ÷ 4 = 113 grams (or 4 ounces). This is a bulk amount, typically used by heavy consumers or for sharing.
| Measurement | Grams | Ounces |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter pound (QP) | 113 grams | 4 ounces |
| Half pound | 226 grams | 8 ounces |
| Pound | 453 grams | 16 ounces |
Don't confuse a quarter (7 grams) with a quarter pound (113 grams) — they are very different sizes. At Garden of Eden, we sell quarters and other amounts; for bulk purchases, ask our team about availability.
What Does a Quarter of Weed Look Like and How Much Does It Cost?
A quarter of weed (7 grams) is about the size of a small handful of popcorn nugs or a few larger buds. It typically fills a sandwich bag halfway. Visually, it's roughly the size of two golf balls.
Cost varies widely by quality, strain, and location. In Tracy, prices for a quarter can range from around $40 to $80 or more. Here's a general breakdown of what affects price:
| Factor | Why It Matters | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Top-shelf vs. budget flower | Varies; premium costs more |
| Strain rarity | Exclusive strains may be pricier | Varies |
| Location | Dispensary prices vs. delivery | Varies |
| Purchase size | Buying a quarter often cheaper per gram than eighths | Varies |

How Much Does a U.S. Quarter Coin Weigh in Grams?
If you're asking about the coin rather than cannabis, a U.S. quarter coin weighs exactly 5.67 grams. This is a standard weight for all modern quarters minted since 1965 (clad composition). Here's a quick comparison:
| Coin | Weight (grams) |
|---|---|
| Quarter | 5.67 g |
| Dime | 2.268 g |
| Nickel | 5.0 g |
| Penny | 2.5 g |
So a quarter coin is lighter than a quarter of weed (7 grams). This distinction matters if you're weighing without a scale — a coin can serve as a rough reference, but not for precise cannabis measurements.
How Many Grams in a Quarter Ounce (General)?
Outside of cannabis, a quarter ounce (1/4 oz) is exactly 7.087 grams in the imperial system. However, in cannabis retail, it's rounded to 7 grams for simplicity. Here's the conversion:
| Unit | Grams (exact) | Cannabis standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ounce | 28.3495 g | 28 g |
| 1/4 ounce | 7.087 g | 7 g |
| 1/8 ounce | 3.5437 g | 3.5 g |
For cooking or precious metals, use the exact conversion (7.087 grams). But at Garden of Eden and most dispensaries, a quarter is 7 grams.
Is a Quarter 14 Grams? Clearing Up the Confusion
No, a quarter is not 14 grams. A quarter of weed is 7 grams. The confusion often comes from mixing up a quarter (1/4 ounce) with a half ounce (14 grams). A half ounce is two quarters. So if someone says they bought a quarter and got 14 grams, they actually got a half ounce. Always check your scale or ask your dispensary — at Garden of Eden, we ensure accurate weights on every purchase.
