Short answer: an ounce is 28 grams, the same as eight eighths. At New York’s average price of $38.96 an eighth, eight eighths cost about $312. At MuMu’s, a full ounce costs $60 to $250, so you save roughly $60 to $250 compared with buying the same amount by the eighth.
Most dispensaries in New York are built around the eighth. MuMu’s is built around the ounce, and that’s a big part of why our prices look the way they do. Here’s how cannabis weights work, how much buying in bulk saves you, and how to keep an ounce fresh once you have it.
Cannabis weights, explained
| Size | Grams | Eighths |
|---|---|---|
| Gram | 1 g | — |
| Eighth | 3.5 g | 1 |
| Quarter | 7 g | 2 |
| Half ounce | 14 g | 4 |
| Ounce | 28 g | 8 |
The names come from fractions of an ounce. An eighth is one-eighth of an ounce, a quarter is a quarter of an ounce, and so on. If you smoke a gram a day, an eighth lasts about three or four days and an ounce lasts about four weeks.
The math: an ounce at MuMu’s vs. eight eighths
New York’s Office of Cannabis Management put the average eighth at $38.96 in its spring 2025 price analysis (source). Eight of those cost about $312. Here’s how each of our ounce tiers compares.
| MuMu’s ounce | Works out per eighth | 8 eighths at NY average | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| $60 | $7.50 | $312 | about $252 |
| $75 | $9.38 | $312 | about $237 |
| $100 | $12.50 | $312 | about $212 |
| $150 | $18.75 | $312 | about $162 |
| $200 | $25.00 | $312 | about $112 |
| $250 | $31.25 | $312 | about $62 |
The state average mixes every quality level together, so it isn’t a perfect like-for-like comparison. But even our top-shelf $250 ounce works out cheaper per eighth than the average eighth in New York. Nobody around here puts this quality on the scale for this price.
Why MuMu’s sells flower by the ounce
Selling by the ounce keeps things simple and keeps prices low. There’s less packaging, less handling and one honest price per strain. You get more flower for your money, and you come back less often. The price on the board is what you pay: no membership, no coupon codes, no crossed-out “was” price.

Is an ounce too much?
Not if you store it right. Flower kept well stays fresh for months. A few simple rules:
- Use an airtight glass jar. Plastic bags let air in and crush the buds.
- Keep it cool and dark. Heat and sunlight break down THC and terpenes, which is where the flavor lives.
- Mind the humidity. A two-way humidity pack (58% or 62%) stops flower drying out or getting damp.
- Skip the fridge and freezer. Temperature swings cause moisture, and freezing makes trichomes brittle.
- Keep it away from kids and pets.
Also remember the legal limit: adults 21 and over in New York can carry up to 3 ounces of flower at a time.
Choosing your ounce
If you’re new to buying by the ounce, start in the middle. The $100 tier is the biggest on our menu, with strains like Green Crack, Gelato and Jealousy. Not sure between indica and sativa? Our guide to indica vs. sativa vs. hybrid helps you narrow it down.
