Gram

A gram is one of the most common standard units of weight or measurement used to purchase cannabis flower in retail settings. One single gram amounts to precisely one thousandth of a kilogram in the metric system, equating to approximately 0.035 ounces in imperial units. A single gram contains enough suitable cannabis bud by volume to roll roughly 1 to 2 average sized cigarettes, joints or blunts for a single user, or equivalently pack a pipe or bong bowl 2 to 3 times over. Actual pricing per gram varies considerably based on market dynamics, geographic locale, product quality tier, dispensary deals, and taxes, though expect to spend anywhere from $5 to $15 on average per gram. For moderate cannabis consumers, buying bud by the gram offers maximum flexibility to try a diverse rotating menu of strains and products without committing to larger set weights. Grams allow casually sampling the wide variety of marijuana flower available, zeroing in on your favorites. Portioning larger volumes into 1 gram allotments also helps pace consumption as part of a responsible cannabis routine. While less cost effective than bulk ounces, single gram purchases provide an increment appropriate for many consumers’ regular needs and tolerance.
