For this, you need a cup for marijuana to fit in. The technique here is that more marijuana can be placed in a cup vertically than in a horizontal tray. Earlier, in the days of analog weighing instruments, the weight of the cup needed to be subtracted. Today, the digital scales have a tare function that zeros out the weight of the object on the scale that ensures that only marijuana is measured.

Scales serve a great purpose for home growers and skeptics buying weed from a nearby weed store. Measuring weed can be done by setting scales in grams or ounces. The price is directly proportional to the amount of weed. Given below are a few basic units of measurement for weed:

• 1/8 Oz = 3.5 grams

• 1/2 Oz = 14 grams

• 1/4 pounds= 4 ounces
