Cannabis Quarter vs. US Coin Quarter: Don't Confuse Them
A cannabis quarter (7g) and a US quarter coin (5.67g) are different weights. Don't mix them up!
| Type | Weight | What It Is |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabis quarter | 7 grams | 1/4 ounce of weed |
| US quarter coin | 5.67 grams | 25-cent coin |
So if someone says 'quarter' in a dispensary, they mean 7 grams of cannabis, not a coin.
