Matchbox
What does “Matchbox” mean?
The traditional measurement of cannabis in edible products, such as chews, tinctures, and drinks. It's usually shortened to mg. Most edibles contain about 5-10mg of THC, CBD or both. The near-universal metric system is used for the sale and dispense of medication so that physicians and patients alike, regardless of their backgrounds, understand how much product is being discussed. Using the metric system for cannabis emphasizes its medicinal benefits and allows for dosages to be adjusted accordingly.Example usage:
“My dealer says she has a matchbox of Jack Herer for $20.”
