I’ve been working on a new cooking article that you’re all going to love, but I noticed a bunch of posts on /r/saplings from people concerned over whether they’re getting as much weed as they paid for. So as a public service, I thought I’d provide this photographic mini-guide to what an eighth ounce (3.5 grams) of properly cured marijuana looks like.

If you’re wondering how the scale shows 3.6 grams when there’s a 14.5 gram container on it, it’s because I used the tare function available on most decent scales. Keep your dealer honest and use a scale!
