How many joints are in an ounce?
It depends on how big you roll. Here is the math for every common size, and when a preroll pack makes more sense.

The mathJoints per size
An ounce of cannabis is about 28 grams. A typical joint holds somewhere between 0.5 and 1 gram, and a dispensary preroll is usually 0.5 or 1 gram. So the answer is just grams divided by joint size.
| Size | Grams | Joints at 1g | Joints at 0.5g | Joints at 0.3g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eighth | 3.5g | 3 | 7 | 11 |
| Quarter | 7g | 7 | 14 | 23 |
| Half ounce | 14g | 14 | 28 | 46 |
| Ounce | 28g | 28 | 56 | 93 |

Roll or buyPrerolls vs rolling your own
Rolling your own from a half ounce or ounce is usually the cheapest way to smoke joints. Prerolls cost a little more per gram but save the time, the papers and the grinder.
Multipacks close the gap. A 14 pack of 1 gram prerolls is a full half ounce already rolled, and a 28 pack of 1 gram prerolls is a full ounce. For more on shake, see what is shake weed.
