Quarter

“Quarter” is an English term meaning “a fourth”. In cannabis terminology, the word is used as an informal quantity indicator and typically refers to a quarter of an ounce (approx. 7 grams).

The term stems from American slang and is part of the measurement system traditionally used in the USA, where ounces and pounds are used rather than grams.

Quarter in cannabis parlance

In the cannabis world, “quarter” functions as a trade and quantity term. It is not a strain, quality, or type of product, but rather an indication of weight.

The term belongs to the same linguistic category as other quantity indicators, such as Ounce, which refers to 28 grams. These terms are used primarily in English-speaking contexts and have historically been widespread in American cannabis culture.

In Denmark, the gram is primarily used as the official unit of weight, but English terms like “quarter” may still occur in international or cultural references.
