# **How Many Grams in a Pound**

If you’ve never bought weed from a licensed dispensary, you are likely green in terms of quantity. Should you ask for an eighth? A quarter? And do you know how many grams are in a pound? Read on to find out.

Before we get to how many grams are in a pound, it helps to understand other measurements. Let’s start with a pound. This imperial measurement is equivalent to sixteen ounces. Also, grams and pounds don’t fall under the same measurement unit.

Grams are a metric unit of measurement, and you require 28.3495g to get an ounce of cannabis. Using this information, we can calculate how many grams are in a pound

1 pound = 16 oz.

1 oz. = 28.3495g

If you multiply 16 x 28.3495, you get 453.592

Therefore there are 453.592g in a pound.

Fortunately, if you buy at a reputable dispensary like Hikei, you may not need to remember all these measurements. However, this information can come in handy if you are not around San Diego and have to get your weed elsewhere. You want to ensure that the amount you receive matches your paid amount. Plus, it’s essential to know how many grams you have on you to protect yourself legally.


## **Do You Use Grams When Referring to the THC Content?**

If you buy cannabis flowers, you’ll notice that the THC is in the percentage, typically between 10 and 30. A higher number means the strain is potent, so you only need a small amount to get high. However, not all cannabis comes in nugs or pre-rolled form. Instead, you may notice other concentrates products, like hash and shatter.

Unlike flowers, the content in concentrates is in milligrams and Total Active Cannabinoids(TAC) form. For instance, one gram of cannabis oil could have 80 percent TAC. The packaging will therefore state 80mg of TAC in each dose.

If you are wondering, what about edibles? Keep in mind that edibles have a stronger effect than joints or blunts. To answer your question, we use milligrams to measure the THC content in edibles. Usually, the content ranges from 5mg to 500mg. We recommend the 5mg if it’s your first edible experience.


## **How Many Grams Are in a Heavy Bag?**

The cannabis world has its jargon, and every once in a while, you might hear people use the words “heavy bag.” This expression means that the amount of weed you have is slightly more than the packaging indicates.

For this reason, it’s almost impossible to receive a heavy bag at a dispensary unless it’s on offer. Usually, you’ll only see heavy bags among friends or on the black market. 

If someone says they have given you a heavy bag of what looks like an eighth(3.5g), they have put in an extra tenth or so to make it 3.6g.


## **Do Dram and Concentrate Containers Use Grams?**

A dram is a measurement unit mentioned when referring to nugs and edible jars. One dram is equivalent to 1/16 of an ounce. In grams, fifteen drams make about one to two grams and 145drams equal twenty-eight grams of cannabis.

Concentrates mainly use grams and milligrams for measurement; however, if we refer to concentrate holders/jars, you’ll notice that the packaging is in milliliters. For instance, a 7ml tin can hold up to 7g of concentrate.


## **How To Measure Your Weed**

There are several ways to tell how much weed is in the packaging.



* Digital scales. These devices are the most accurate and popular way of telling how much weed is in your bag.
* Ruler and penny approach. Note that pennies produced before 1982 weigh 3.1g and those after 2.5g. Balance your ruler on a surface, leaving both ends hanging. Place a penny on one end and then your stash on the other. You’ll know the weed is more than 2.5g or 3.1g if the ruler goes down.
* Phone app. While this method is unreliable, it’s a good alternative if you don’t have a scale nearby.
* Hanger approach. You’ll need a plastic hanger, two equal-length strings, pennies, two ziplock bags, and two clothespins. Start by balancing the hanger on a wall rod. Tie each string on each end. Ensure they remain of even length even after tying. Place a ziplock on each side and attach using a clothespin. Add the number of pennies you wish to compare with the weed on one ziplock and place your stash on the other end. Remove or add until you are satisfied with the results.


## **How Much Does a Gram of Cannabis Cost?**

The price of a gram depends on the strain brand and quality. Expect to pay anywhere between five and fifteen dollars. However, if you talk to experienced users, you’ll learn that buying a gram does not offer more bang for your buck. Therefore, unless you are trying out a new strain, it’s best to buy weed in quarters or halves.


## **Breakdown of Other Cannabis Measurement Units**

Now that you have gotten a better sense of gram weights, it helps to know other measurement units used by tokers and budtenders.



* Ounce. As mentioned in the beginning, one ounce equals twenty-eight grams or 0.028kgs. The price of an ounce varies across states. Expect to pay around $190 up to $300 if you live in the U.S.
* Eighth. An eighth of an ounce is equivalent to 3.5g. It’s the go-to amount for infrequent users or sampling new cannabis flowers. The price also varies, with some places charging $40 for an eighth.
* Quarter. A quarter of an ounce is equivalent to 7g. It’s an ideal amount for regular users. Also, some dispensaries charge cheaper per gram when you buy a quarter. Expect to pay atleast $50.
* Half-ounce. A half-ounce is another standard quantity among frequent tokers. Expect even better prices per gram. The average cost for a half-ounce is $115.

Some weed measurements have slang terms. Examples include:



* A nickel bag which is equal to about 0.7 to one gram
* A dime bag which contains about one to 1.3 grams 
* A dub which is about 2 grams
* A slice which refers to an eighth
* A zip which is equal to an ounce


## **What To Expect at the Dispensary**

If you’ve decided to put your knowledge to good use by visiting a dispensary, here’s what you should know.



* You must have a valid ID or driver’s license to enter. Also, unless your state allows recreational use, you’ll need to produce your medical marijuana card to purchase cannabis products.
* Some weed dispensaries allow a specific number of people at a time, usually for security reasons. Currently, the rules might be stricter due to the pandemic.
* Most dispensaries offer door delivery services and discounts. We recommend signing up for a newsletter. Doing so keeps you updated on deals and new strains.
* Find out the possession limit to maximize the quantity that will meet your smoking needs.

Well, there you have it, an in-depth guide to weed measurements. You now know how many grams are in a pound or an ounce. All that’s left is going to a dispensary for an eighth or half-ounce of your favorite flower. If you are in San Diego, Hikei is conveniently located on Home Ave; visit us to view and [purchase](https://wehikei.com/) the latest weed strains.

# **Alien Labs**

Don’t let the name fool you; the AlienLabs brand is anything but foreign to the cannabis industry. The company creates an assemblage of cutting-edge cannabis that every toker must try. 


## **Origin Story**

The AlienLabs story began when founder Ted Lidie moved from California to San Fransisco in 2008. He noticed that while there was a presence of several cannabis growing companies, the potential for brand growth also existed. He felt motivated to participate in this growth by establishing his cannabis brand.

He established Alienlabs in 2013 and four years later partnered with Connected Cannabis. The partnership has since allowed Ted Lidie and his team to focus on bringing creativity. In 2017, AlienLabs created the memorable Zkittlez, which cannabis enthusiasts love for its terpenes. The other beloved strains, namely Melonade, Area 41, and Baklava, came out in 2018-2019. The team released Biskanté in May 2021. Their most recent products are the Galactic Gummies which feature unique flavor steroids.


## **Product Guide**


### **Flower**



1. Atomic Apple

This explosive hybrid is the perfect blend of the Triangle Mints and Apple fritter parent strains. It tastes like a dessert, with apple, citrus, and earthy tones. The scent is similar to sweet and sour apple and musky berry notes and hints of menthol, spice, and earth notes in the background.

The buds are fluffy and light green with blue streaks. Its amber-colored hairs, crystal-like trichomes, and overall meteor-like structure are also hard to miss. Expect heavy-hitting effects thanks to its average THC level of 20 and 26 percent. You’ll notice a burst of energy, happiness, and clarity after the first toke.

What follows are feelings of relaxation and creativity which is why Atomic Apple makes an ideal strain for days spent indoors. Its non-sedative effects will allow you to complete chores, knit, or read. Atomic Apple’s euphoric effects make it a fantastic de-stressor. You may also get relief from anxiety, headaches, and chronic fatigue.



1. Xeno

Take a trip into space with this gaslike hybrid made from a cross between the iconic Zkittlez and Kush Mints weed strains. After opening the jar, you’ll notice funky, minty, and candy-like notes and creaminess in the background. The flavor is richer with fruity, floral, pine, and sweet and savory notes reminiscent of clam chowder or Trix cereal.

The nugs are like Christmas trees with cinnamon orange hairs and thick, yellow trichomes. The inhale is smooth, and you may experience an aftertaste of mint and pine. The average THC content is 22 percent, so you might want to take it in small doses if you’re a beginner.

Expect an instant headrush coupled with energetic feelings. Don’t expect to get any work done, as it’ll leave you feeling spacey. You may experience body tingling as if someone just placed a heavy item on your shoulders. For some, Xeno might have a couch crashing effect due to its extreme relaxation. Medicinally, Xeno might help relieve stress and help you catch some Zs. 



1. Biskanté

Biskanté is a Sativa-leaning hybrid made from crossing Melonade and Biscotti #6 weed strains. This celebrity child won the 2021 Emerald cup, so you know it’s a must-have.

This delectable strain has sweet, cookie, and lemon flavors- Alienlabs points out that the lemon isn’t overpowering like in other lemon-crossed cannabis, making it a unique creation. The scent is similar to trace amounts of earth.

Besides its breathtaking aroma and flavor profile, Biskanté is potent, with an average THC of 30 percent. Surprisingly, this weed strain rarely knocks users out. Instead, it will leave you in high spirits and levitated. Biskanté also inspires feelings of carefree and euphoria and have you giggling a lot. You may become sociable but will find it challenging to keep track of the conversation. Medically, you may experience relief from headaches, nausea, migraines, and mild depression.



1. Kryptochronic

Kryptochronic is a sight to behold thanks to its crowd-pleasing parent strains, the  Alien Cookies, and Fruity Pebbles OG.

The structure is nigh on perfect, featuring rich green nugs with hints of purple, orange pistils, and frost-like trichomes. The average THC level is 30 percent, producing an instant head change that leaves you in a sedative state. Kryptochronic may be a fantastic after-hours choice if you hope to get some quality sleep or de-stress. Just make sure to stock the fridge for when you wake up in the middle of the night with some alien-like cravings.



1. Area 41

The Alienlabs team was keen on “bringing gas back” when they crossed Lemon Fuel OG and Gelato 41 to create this weed strain. The aroma consists of earthy pine, lemon, and wood notes. And the flavor leans more on the citrus side. The nugs appear like arrows, are green with orange pistils, and have a thick coating of blue-white trichomes.

Expect long-lasting effects thanks to its high THC content of 22 percent. The cerebral effects are immediate, leading you into a calm and euphoric state. What follows is body tingles and a slight energy boost. Such pleasant aftereffects have made this weed strain a go-to for people looking to manage conditions like appetite loss, depression, and chronic pain.



1. Baklava

If the name Baklava sounds familiar, this strain was a way to pay homage to Action Bronson ( Mr. Baklava), an American rapper. This hybrid crosses Kosher Kush and Gelato 41 and features fuzzy dark green nugs. The strain has a rich aroma and flavor profile consisting of berries, citrus, diesel, and creamy notes with hints of spice.

Baklava is potent, with an average THC of 24%. Expect an energy boost and feelings of euphoria. You might experience bouts of focus that eventually lead to couch-lock. With these aftereffects, it’s no surprise that users consume Baklava to manage conditions like chronic pain, nausea, anxiety, and appetite loss.
