Grams vs ounces of weed: What's it look like?

A gram is like a tiny candy, and an ounce is like a whole bag of candy, that’s how much weed you get in each!

Grams are small. If you have 1 gram, it’s like having one piece of candy. If you have 10 grams, it’s like having 10 pieces of candy, enough for a snack.

Ounces are bigger. One ounce is about the same as 28 grams, that’s like having almost 30 pieces of candy! So if you see someone with an ounce of weed, they have way more than just a little bit.

How much does it look like?

Imagine you have a bag of chips. A gram of weed is about the size of a few chips, small and easy to hold in your hand. An ounce would be like having a full bag of chips, bigger, and enough to share with friends!

So when someone says they have 10 grams, it’s like they have 10 little snacks. But if they say they have an ounce, that's almost 30 snacks, that’s a lot!
