Pound

A pound is a common unit of weight equal to 16 ounces or 448 grams. When it comes to cannabis, a pound represents the largest quantity of cannabis flower that can be purchased at one time in legal dispensaries. Buying rare or beloved strains by the pound makes sense for large scale personal consumers given bulk pricing discounts.

Expect to pay between $1000-$2500 for a single pound of legal cannabis, depending on quality tier, geographic region, and other supply and demand factors. A pound contains 448 one gram joints worth of cannabis flower when considering measuring out that volume.

Beyond personal use, pounds also represent a standard wholesale unit when legally distributing and transporting bulk cannabis inventory at scale, such as from cultivators to retailers. But black market diversion of pounds remains an issue in legal states, so dispensary purchase limits prevent mass retail diversion.
