Understanding the Basics: How Many Grams in an Eighth of an Ounce?
An eighth of an ounce equals 3.5 grams. This is the most common single purchase size in dispensaries because it offers a good balance of quantity and price.
| Measurement | Grams | Ounces |
|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | 1 g | 0.035 oz |
| 1/8 ounce | 3.5 g | 0.125 oz |
| 1/4 ounce | 7 g | 0.25 oz |
| 1/2 ounce | 14 g | 0.5 oz |

Remember, a retail ounce is 28 grams, not 28.35 (the exact imperial conversion). In cannabis, we round down to 28 for simplicity.

2016 California Proposition 64
In 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older. The measure, approved by 57% of voters, allowed licensed dispensaries to sell cannabis for adult use, with sales beginning in January 2018. It also established a regulatory framework for cultivation, manufacturing, and testing. For you, this means you can walk into a licensed dispensary like Nug Cannavine in Belmont and buy cannabis legally, with confidence that products meet state standards. Whether you're picking up a quarter ounce or just exploring, Prop 64 made it all possible.
