More about the term Ounce

In the cannabis world, the ounce serves as a primary unit of weight that forms the basis for smaller quantity designations such as “quarter”, which refers to a quarter of an ounce.

The ounce is primarily used in English-speaking contexts and is not a strain, quality designation, or product category, but a pure unit of measurement. In Denmark and the rest of Europe, the gram is the official unit of measurement, but the term “ounce” still appears in international references and in cannabis cultural contexts.
