A standard pound is 453.592 grams, but in cannabis culture a “pound of weed” is usually treated as 448 grams (16 ounces × 28 grams each).

Quick Scoop

  • In regular weight conversion, 1 pound = 453.592 grams.
  • In most cannabis markets, a pound is rounded to 16 ounces, with each ounce counted as 28 grams, giving 16 × 28 = 448 grams.
  • That 5.6‑gram difference comes from rounding the real ounce value (28.3495 g) down to 28 g for simpler math and selling.

So if someone says “a pound of weed” in a dispensary or forum context, they almost always mean about 448 grams, not the full 453.592‑gram imperial pound.
