Appendix B
Gram equivalents used to standardize reported dried cannabis (flower/leaf) quantities
Table summary
This table displays the results of Gram equivalents used to standardize reported quanitites . The information is grouped by Unit reported (appearing as row headers), Gram equivalent (appearing as column headers).
Unit reported Gram equivalent
Pounds 454.00
Ounce 28.00
1/2 Ounce 14.00
1/4 Ounce 7.00
1/8 Ounce 3.50
Grams 1.00
Joints 0.32
Note: In order to estimate the quantity of dried cannabis used during the past three months it was necessary to first standardize (convert) all reported units to grams and then multiple by the number of units. For example, for persons reporting in grams no change was required; for others, it was necessary to convert the reported unit by its gram equivalent, e.g. ounces became 28g. Then each gram equivalent was multiplied by the number of units reported. Total quanitity of dried cannabis = (grams) x (number of reported units).
