I’ve been working on a new cooking article that you’re all going to love, but I noticed a bunch of posts on /r/saplings from people concerned over whether they’re getting as much weed as they paid for. So as a public service, I thought I’d provide this photographic mini-guide to what an eighth ounce (3.5 grams) of properly cured marijuana looks like.
If you’re wondering how the scale shows 3.6 grams when there’s a 14.5 gram container on it, it’s because I used the tare function available on most decent scales. Keep your dealer honest and use a scale!
These don’t seem to be very conclusive ways of eyeballing, and why would you want to show us on a scale, doesn’t that defeat the purpose? I’ve always just put it in a fold over sandwich bag in the corner, it should be roughly the size a large strawberry; and this is pretty true regardless of being fluffy or dense if you give the bag a twist and compress it to the corner a little. I’ve been able to get within a point multiple times, and if you need less then just imagine half of the strawberry and that should be around 1.75
I showed you on a scale so you could see it was legit. Feel free to use any method you like to estimate, but when they release a standard “large strawberry” I hope they’ll let me know :-)
I just literally laughed out loud at the standard “large strawberry” comment. I was thinking the same thing when I read his post. What if I live in an area where strawberries are inherently smaller? I’d be screwed! Ha! At least a quarter (the coin) will likely never change size. Thanks for the great post…
Thank you too! Nugs and hugs!
