(Sorry, I didn’t include the actual post here).
Anyway, the important stuff: Greenbrier wrote not only the best initial post (many other commenters highlighted it) but also some great follow-up ones. If you want to read more historical context on cannabis in America, check out this Wikipedia entry. For a good summary of federal cannabis policy, see this from GovTrack.

I’m re-posting my first article because I’ve been asked about this a few times and made aware of some things I missed when first writing it up. The new law has several notable differences from what was initially proposed. The biggest one is that there are two cultivation licenses – one for small farmers, 1/4 acre or less, and one for large farms (more than 1/4 acre). There are also changes to how much marijuana can come from a single license. In addition, the new law ensures that over half the state’s title holders must make marijuana available to retail in at least one county per region. Other noteworthy changes include:
- The possession limit is reduced from 10 pounds to 8 ounces per person.
- An increase in penalties for various drug offenses.
- Continued prohibition on use by minors under 18 years old.
An ounce of marijuana is about 28 grams, and the standard measurement for potency is a single gram.
If you’re looking for the exact amount of marijuana in an ounce, it’s generally 28 grams. That’s about 1/8th of a pound (453 grams).
A single gram is 0.042 pounds or 0.08 ounces by weight, which means that if you have one gram of weed and want to know how much this means in terms of “dollars,” multiply it by $13—the price per ounce on Weedmaps! (We know this isn’t super accurate because prices vary from store to store, but we thought we’d give it a shot anyway.)
A single puff from one joint will give you around ten hits worth of THC, so if someone were smoking throughout the day, they’d probably get around 100 hits over two hours…and then some can smoke five joints at once with no problem–they’ll still be high off their asses after three hours!
To convert from grams to ounces, divide the grams by 28.
If you want to convert from grams (g) to ounces (oz), divide the grams by 28.
Once you know the amount in ounces, you can figure out how much is your share of an ounce.#
Once you know the amount in ounces, you can figure out how much is your share of an ounce. For example, if there are 20 joints and each joint weighs 1 gram, that means 200 grams of weed in 1 ounce (200/20).
If you’re looking for something more precise than “how much is my share?” then try this:
A lot of people prefer edibles over smoking because it’s more potent.
If you prefer to get high instead of smoking or vaporizing, then edibles are the way to go. Edibles are much more potent than other ways of consuming cannabis and will give you a more substantial effect than smoking or vaporizing.
Edibles take longer to kick in, and they can be uncomfortable if eaten too quickly (or at all). This can make it harder for some people who don’t want to wait around for their desired effects before getting into bed with their partner—or anything else!
Another thing about edibles is that they’re often more expensive than other forms of consumption because most users only want one hit to experience maximum relaxation without any side effects from being high on THC levels alone (which can make them anxious).
This is an excellent article, but it needs to be a complete picture. The author focuses on one aspect of the culture and needs to consider other factors.
The first thing he notes about Canadians is that they are “generous.” This is true in some ways but also misleading in others. For example, you are OK with being charged 27% on a purchase of $50 if you buy from a grocery store, but no one will give you any marijuana for free. Also, most people who smoke weed in Canada do so recreationally and don’t consider it a social activity or even see themselves as part of a community. They puff away when they’re at home or out with friends and family during vacations, etc. There is no acceptance for people who smoke regularly and tend to focus more on their health than their appearance (though exceptions exist). The message here might be that Canadians have been “cultivated” by marijuana because other drugs have burned them before trying it and now view marijuana as more dangerous than it is…
In America, there has been an extreme focus on cannabis since its legalization in several states and nationwide. All around the country, various organizations have popped up which promote positive messages about cannabis use, all geared towards normalizing and encouraging the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes only—not anything recreational! Another important factor we must consider is that English has highly influenced Canadian culture, which has generally been incredibly anti-marijuana. Many British doctors were opposed to drug legalization long before America did so, especially after hearing how Americans were irresponsible with their newfound freedom regarding drug use (in particular, heroin).
The fact remains that Canadian marijuana consumers are pretty concerned about its safety—and rightfully so! Marijuana has never been proven 100% safe.
