A standard quart mason jar holds approximately 1 ounce (28 grams) of marijuana.
A standard quart-sized mason jar can typically hold about 1 ounce (28 grams) of marijuana. This capacity is based on the jar's volume of roughly 32 fluid ounces and the loosely packed nature of dried cannabis buds. The actual amount may vary slightly depending on the density and size of the buds, as well as how tightly they're packed. For larger quantities, you may need multiple jars or a larger storage container.
