Weed Measurements, Weights and Amounts

Weed Measurements, Weights and Amounts can be confusing

Weed Measurements, Weights and Amounts. The old slogan “You’ve come a long way, baby” could easily be applied to cannabis and the consumption of weed since it was criminalized in the 1930’s. So many new methods for growing, cultivating and manufacturing have been introduced that at times it can be overwhelming. However, one thing which has not changed much over the years is the very confusing way marijuana is weighed, measured and sold.

Weed Amounts. Marijuana Measurements. As you read through this blog post you’ll see a mix of pot jargon and slang as well as a crossing over from metric weights (grams) to U.S. Customary Units (ounces and pounds) which can all be confusing. Don’t worry though! We’ve created a "weed amount chart" of some weed measurements, weed weights and weed amounts for your reference; just scroll down this post to find it!

The marijuana measurement system is a confusing mix of Standard International Units and US Customary units. But when you boil it all down, the main cannabis conversion you need to remember is:

  • 1 ounce of weed = 28 grams

From there, it’s pretty easy to decipher the weed jargon to calculate that “a half” equals 14 grams, “a quarter” equals 7 grams, an eighth equals 3.5 gram, and “a dub” will typically equal one full gram of marijuana. (see chart below for some examples)

The whole point of understanding the math is so you can be an informed consumer and once you know how to do the weed measurements and costs math, you can determine if making your own marijuana concentrates, oils, edibles, and tinctures will help you save on cannabis costs based upon the price of weed in your area. Making your own concentrates is a topic for another post.

How to measure the amount of THC or CBD

The other piece of the weed measurements and amounts puzzle is how to measure the amount of THC or CBD there is in any given strain. There is a plethora of different chemicals that make up the cannabis plant, but THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive ingredient that gives users the euphoric and relaxed feeling that is commonly associated with cannabis.

Average THC content in California varies between 15% and 30%, with more potent strains being created every year. The measurement of THC content in any given cannabis plant is taken as a percentage of that compound which makes up the plant’s flower compared to the other lesser-known compounds and plant matter in the flower, also known as a “bud”.

When it comes to concentrated forms of cannabis like wax, shatter, hash and edibles, the weed measurements switch from a percentage to milligrams. A gram of concentrate such as shatter may be 80% THC, but it is labeled as 80mg of THC per dose. Similarly, edibles are given a THC in milligrams dose, with the average dose for edibles begin 10mg.

What is Dabbing?

Dabbing. What is Dabbing? What is dab wax? Let’s answer these questions!

Dab Wax is a type of BHO, which is short for butane hash oil. It is a type of cannabis concentrate made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis flowers using butane, heat and pressure.

Hitting a Dab Rig

There are several types of BHO and we’re going to look at all of them, however, due to its color and consistency, BHO is also called butane honey oil—after purging the butane, the oil becomes a yellow-gold color similar to honey.

Types of BHO:

There are several different types of BHO, however, all types have similarities in terms of the content, the purging (and extraction) processes and the end result, after it’s smoked, which is to say - the smoker will be very stoned.

Here’s a list of the various types of BHO:

  1. Budder
  2. Crumble
  3. Oil
  4. Pull and Snap
  5. Sap
  6. Shatter
  7. Wax

Budder
Budder is the purest form of BHO, usually having around 90 percent THC and 99 percent purity. It gets its name because the consistency is somewhat similar to that of butter and it is extremely hard to find as the extraction, purging and whipping process can take much longer than other BHO extracts. Budder tends to be rather rare and expensive but is oh, so good!

Crumble
Crumble is made by purging butane at a low temperature for quite some time (although there is no exact period for this—it depends on the amount being purged—the process usually takes 10 to 15 hours). Since it crumbles easily, it is not good for manipulating with the hands, however, it does add some kick when “crumbled” on top of a pipe load (or bong load)!

Oil
BHO comes in oil form and this type of extract is mostly seen already packed in cartridges. It is easy to come by and many licensed producers make their own versions. Oil is easy to use in cartridge form and there’s no need to worry about having pieces of the extract sticking to gear. Typically, the cartridge fits into a Vaping device like a Vape Pen, which makes smoking the oil quick, easy and discrete.

Pull and Snap
Pull and snap got its name because of the sound made when pulled apart. It is great for dabbing because of its consistency and because it is easy to handle; pull and snap is much better suited for molding, as it doesn’t break easily or melt in the hand.

On the other hand, if you pulled on a piece of ‘shatter’, it would break in a glass-like manner, hence it’s name.

Sap
Resembling the sap of a tree, this form of BHO is sticky and runny. If a person drops a piece of sap on the floor, for example, it will stick to anything and everything, thereby making it impossible to remove impurities like dust and dirt. This is difficult to smoke without a good dab rig.

Loading shatter into a vape

Shatter
Shatter is the hardest form of BHO and is always in solid form. Resembling glass, it is transparent and breaks in a similar manner. Shatter often has around 80 percent THC and requires a dabbing rig to smoke it.

Wax
Somewhat similar to budder, wax doesn’t crumble, but don’t hold it in your hands for too long as it will melt into a sticky mess. Wax is the most common type of BHO seen today, except for maybe shatter, because it is easy to work with. Smoking wax can be done in a dab rig or in a vape pen. Typically, a dab rig provides a surface (known as the ‘nail’) which can be heated so that when you apply the Dab it vaporizes.

CO2 vs. BHO: Comparing extraction methods
Cannabis oil can also be made with carbon-dioxide (CO2), which can serve as the extraction catalyst rather than butane. When cannabinoids are extracted and subsequently processed with CO2, the result is CO2 oil.

BHO extraction
BHO extraction is a risky process and, as such, a job best left to the professionals. There are instances in which people trying to make butane hash oil on their own have been severely injured or even killed.

Why can BHO extraction be dangerous?
BHO extraction uses butane, a flammable gas, as a catalyst to extract all the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. Since part of the extraction process happens over a stove, this increases the risk. The gas takes liquid form in the tube during the extraction process, and then quickly evaporates when heat is applied to the mixture. After it evaporates, heavier-than-oxygen butane quickly “falls on the floor”. This is why making BHO indoors is extremely hazardous.

Why do people dab?

Not talking about the dance craze, which, for those who don’t realize it, is based on the movement folks make when they’ve hit on a dab rig, they wipe their mouth and then … well the pointing upward is because they’re sinking into their couch!

But, we digress. Why do people dab? Another way to think about this is: why do people drink high-proof distilled alcohol? Or drink high-percentage alcohol wine or beer? Or even, for that matter, why do people spin around in circles really fast until they fall down?

Because they want to! On a more serious note, dabs are being demonized as a dangerously powerful drug in those states where cannabis is still illegal, while many smokers in legal states just scoff at dabbing as a sophomoric way to get higher than you need to, sort of like shot-gunning a beer.

However, it’s possible dabs are actually more interesting than they get credit for.

The first thing to consider is that there is evidence which points to them being far healthier than the standard way of smoking weed (but until the DEA reschedules pot, it's very difficult to make definitive health claims about cannabis).

Why? The high you get off a dab is quicker and cleaner than conventional smoking methods, and the dab itself is a ‘cleaner’ version of cannabis, having been processed into the various different forms.

Thanks to modern strains that are 30 times more powerful than 1960s weed (and modern concentrates that can be 90 times more powerful), we no longer need to inhale a quarter of an ounce of burning plant material to get really high. And, that’s a good thing!

So, in summary, dabbing is both a type of cannabis extract (the dab) and a way of smoking cannabis (the dab rig). The action verb “dabbing” means to consume the cannabis concentrate via some type of rig!

And, always remember when it comes to dabs vs weed, a little dab will do ya! You can read more about consuming cannabis in our blog post Beginners Guide to CBD Oils and Tinctures and you can check out all our Cannabis Tours here!

More Cool Things To Do While High

I'm Stoned, Now What?

There are several different ways to think about the phrase “cool things to do while high”. One point-of-view is from the occasional recreational user, another is from a chronic recreational user and then there’s the medical marijuana user perspective to consider as well.

For those of you who are new to cannabis culture, or are just curious about it, there’s even a slang term for the phrase ‘things to do while high’, which is: things to do while baked. In this case, we’re not taking about baking, which can, in fact, be a thing to do when you’re high for hours.

 

Let’s look at the three points-of-view we outlined earlier.

First up, the occasional recreational user.

Depending on how often you’re high on weed, you might find there’s not much you WANT to do. Sometimes, things to do while high with friends are things like: just talking and hanging out. If you’re of the mindset of “what should I do while high”, you’re probably an occasional recreational user, because, as we’ll see in a moment, more frequent users have lots of interesting things to do while high, like: go grocery shopping, or do some work or even, go visit with the family!

Some folks might want to plan an event or engage in an activity.

People have thrown Bachelorette Parties while stoned, ridden bikes and gone out to wineries or breweries. Basically, anything you can do, you can do when stoned, except operate a motor vehicle!

We’ve all seen those ‘high memes’ which show someone who is really baked just kind of melting into their chair – well, that is certainly on the list of high things to do but, for chronic smokers (someone who smokes pot on a regular or even daily basis) the things to do while high are basically the things you do when you’re not high.

Things to do when you’re high with friends (or just by yourself) are the same things you do when you’re not stoned, if you’re a chronic or medical marijuana user that is. For folks who just like to smoke pot a lot (the chronics), they don’t have a list of what to do while high, they just do it.

Medical Marijuana Users

It’s a slightly different situation for medical marijuana users. There are lots of compelling use cases for folks who use cannabis as medicine. For some, it’s about getting their appetite stimulated, for others it’s about managing pain and for others it’s about anxiety or sleep.

There is debate about the medical benefits of cannabis, however, over the years research has yielded results to suggest that marijuana may be of benefit in the treatment of some conditions, which include: chronic pain, alcoholism and drug addiction, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety.

There is also evidence to suggest positive affects associated with the treatment of: Cancer, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.

As you can tell, this topic runs a wide range and addresses many issues. Hopefully, this information shines some light on cannabis and cannabis culture. Find out how much fun Happy Travelers Tours are by setting up an event for you and your friends!

California Cannabis Scene & Cannabis Consumption

Whether you’re in San Diego, Los Angeles or San Francisco, the California cannabis scene and cannabis consumption are thriving in the Golden State. If you’re into a party bus or a more sedate wine tour, the cannabis industry is fully in “puff pass” mode – more and more weed experiences, operational tours and legal recreational events are occurring.

So, what is a cannabis experience? In the Bay Area, cannabis tours include the Oakland cannabis creative tour, tours which feature cannabis infused foods and infused wines and tours focused on wine and cannabis.

Happy Travelers Tours start educating Guests on the convergence of wine and weed as soon as we’re on board the bus by providing our Sip-and-Sniff Experience in route to any of our various destinations: our Sunset Tour, Wine-and-Weed Tour and new for the 2019 Season, our Destination: Grow Tour.

The California Cannabis Scene is fully integrated into the California lifestyle. In almost every county in the state, adults can now purchase and consume legal marijuana from licensed retailers. Some counties and municipalities have restrictions on retailers and consumption however cannabis is legal in the state and, ultimately, if you're over the age of 21 you can find, purchase and consume legal cannabis in California and that means: the Cannabis Scene is anywhere cannabis is!

It doesn’t matter if you live in California, or are visiting any of the amazing destinations located in the Golden State the cannabis scene is thriving in this new era of legal recreational consumption. So, find a Tour near you and get on the bus! Call Happy Travelers Tours to book your next Cannabis Experience – 707-386-9859!

The Best Weed Tourism in California typically focuses on the California cannabis culture, which can include drinking fine wines, enjoying craft beers and outstanding food while smoking artisanal cannabis on a curated marijuana tour (also known as a thc tour or a weed tour).

Some THC Tours in California include stops at Cannabis Grow sites (both indoor and outdoor) and visits to Dispensaries while also incorporating experiences, ranging from Puff, Puff and Paint events to Outdoor Adventures and even visiting Amusement Parks!
