A quarter ounce, also referred to as a quad, is a measurement designating 7 grams or one quarter of an ounce of cannabis flower. It sits between an eighth ounce containing 3.5 grams and a half ounce containing 14 grams in total weight. Purchasing cannabis flower by the quarter ounce provides an intermediate option between smaller and larger amounts. Quarters give consumers more bulk quantity than an eighth to stock up and enjoy over a longer period of time, without requiring committing to a full ounce all at once, especially if just sampling different strains. Expect to pay between $30 on the lower end for shake up to $90 for exotic top shelf flower per quarter ounce. A quarter contains enough cannabis to roll approximately 7 average sized 1 gram joints, or load 3 to 5 average sized bowls. Vaporizing or smoking a quad should provide around 15-25 sessions for the average occasional consumer before needing to purchase more.
