A quarter pound of weed weighs exactly 113.4 grams.

To break this down:

How Much Does a Quarter Pound Cost in Canada? (2025)

In 2025, the price of a quarter pound in Canada ranges from $250 to $750 CAD.

The price depends entirely on the grading system of the cannabis (AA to AAAA). Below is the current market pricing for bulk cannabis in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Bulk Weed Prices by Quality Grade

• AA (Budget Buds): $250 – $350 per QP. Best for making edibles or budget-conscious consumers. These buds may have a looser trim or lower THC percentage.

• AAA (Trips / Mid-Shelf): $375 – $500 per QP. Best for daily smokers who require reliable potency, a pleasing aroma, and clean ash.

• AAAA (Quads / Top Shelf): $550 – $750+ per QP. Best for connoisseurs. Expect high density, firm terpene profiles, and THC levels exceeding 26%.

How Much Money Do You Save Buying a QP?

Buying a Quarter Pound is significantly cheaper than buying four individual ounces.

• Cost of 4 Separate Ounces: ~$720 ($180/oz average)

• Cost of 1 Quarter Pound: ~$550 (Bulk rate)

• Total Savings: ~$170

What Does a Quarter Pound of Weed Look Like?

A quarter pound of cannabis typically fills a large freezer-sized Ziploc bag. However, the visual volume depends on the strain type.

• Indica Strains (e.g., Death Bubba): Dense and compact. A QP of Indica appears physically smaller because the weight is concentrated in rock-hard buds.

• Sativa Strains (e.g., Maui Wowie): Fluffy and airy. A QP of Sativa takes up more physical space (volume) than a 113.4-gram QP despite weighing the same.

How Many Joints Can You Roll with a Quarter Pound?

A Quarter Pound provides enough cannabis for 4 to 7 months of daily smoking for the average user.

• Average Joint (0.5g): You can roll 226 joints.

• King Size Joint (1.0g): You can roll 113 joints.

Is it Legal to Buy a Quarter Pound of Weed in Canada?

Yes, it is legal to buy a quarter pound of weed in Canada, but there are strict rules on how you possess it.

Public vs. Private Possession Limits (2025)

The most important rule to remember is the difference between public and private possession.

• Public Possession Limit (30 Grams): Under the Cannabis Act, you are legally allowed to carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis in public at one time.

  • The Catch: A Quarter Pound is 113.4 grams. This means you cannot legally walk around with a full QP in your backpack.

• Private Home Storage: In most provinces (like Ontario and Alberta), there is no limit on how much cannabis you can store inside your private residence. In British Columbia, the limit is 1,000 grams per household, which is plenty of room for multiple Quarter Pounds.

Pro Tip: When you order a QP from Highest Farmacy, our delivery drivers bring it directly to your door. Once it is inside your home, you are fully compliant with possession laws.

How to Store a Quarter Pound to Keep it Fresh

Since a Quarter Pound can last an average daily smoker for 4 to 7 months, proper storage is critical. If you leave it in a plastic baggie, your premium AAAA buds will turn into dry dust within weeks.

To protect your investment, follow these three rules:

1. Ditch the Plastic: Transfer your buds from the delivery bag into airtight glass Mason jars immediately. Plastic can accumulate a static charge that pulls trichomes off the buds.

2. Control the Humidity: Add a humidity pack (like Boveda or Integra) to the jar. Aim for a relative humidity (RH) of 58% to 62%. This keeps terpenes oily and prevents mold growth.

3. Keep it Dark: UV light degrades THC into CBN (which makes you sleepy rather than high). Store your jars in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions (QP Edition)

Is a “Cut” the same as a Quarter Pound? Yes. In slang terms, a “Cut” usually refers to a Quarter Pound (4 ounces). However, be careful—in some particular local regions, “cut” can refer to smaller amounts, so always clarify the weight in grams (113g) before buying.

Does a Quarter Pound get stale? Yes, weed can get moldy. After about 6 to 12 months, THC potency begins to drop naturally. However, if you store your QP in a glass jar with a humidity pack, it will stay fresh and sticky for up to a year.

Can I mix and match strains in a Quarter Pound? At most government dispensaries, you have to buy a single pre-packaged bag. However, at Highest Farmacy, we offer Mix & Match QP Deals that let you split your Quarter Pound into 4 ounces (28g each). This is the best way to get bulk pricing without getting tired of smoking the same strain for months.
