How Many Ounces Are In A Pound Of Weed?

Anyone that has ever bought cannabis in bulk knows that the last thing you want is to get shorted on an expensive order. While it’s fairly common knowledge that there are 28 grams in an ounce, if you’re buying by the pound things might get confusing. If you’ve ever wondered, “how many ounces are in a pound?”, then it’s important to understand the conversion between imperial and metric measuring systems. Most importantly, buying on the street vs recreational wholesale will usually yield different results. 

How Many Ounces Are In A Pound?

The simple answer to the question is that there are 16 ounces in a pound. If you’re buying on the street, a pound of cannabis should get you 16 ounces or 448 grams of cannabis. This is a flat amount with less mathematical precision than if you were to buy wholesale. If you are purchasing a pound of cannabis through a wholesale retailer, one pound will yield 453 grams of cannabis. This is because, on the street, the exact number of grams is rounded down per ounce while wholesaling will offer mathematically precise amounts.
