In cannabis weight measurements, a half-ounce, also referred to as just a half, contains 14 grams which equates to exactly one half of an ounce (28 grams). Along with full ounces, half-ounces represent one of the most common large bulk sizes for cannabis flower sold at the wholesale level between professional cultivators, processors and retailers before products reach dispensary shelves. While purchasing full ounces may be impractical or prohibitively expensive for many average consumers’ personal use, buying cannabis flower by the half-ounce offers an intermediate bulk weight tier that provides deeper per-gram discounts compared to smaller eighths without requiring full ounce volume. Practically speaking, half-ounces also conveniently break down into four equivalent quarter-ounces (7 grams each) for evenly portioning larger volume between friends or easily stocking up a personal stash. Overall for both consumers and businesses, half-ounce increments balance meaningful bulk pricing advantages and discounts with pragmatic backpack-sized portions.
