weight lingo

[Redeyes4life]

to prevent me from sounding like a complete dumbass or maybe a cop i would like to know the weight lingo such as how much does a "nic" or "dime" bag weigh. I know the price usaly varies with the quality of the herb.

[name]

that depends on how generous a person you are
i think the standard is 7 g's in a quarter(from hearsay)
i don't know about dimes or nickels?

[Slothbear]

I have always wondered if some lingo might change to where ever you are. I heard 'dime bag' everywhere for years until I finaly decided to ask what the hell it was, and found out that a dime bag was a gram bag of pot, and a nickel bag is a half gram. I am wondering if this is the same for anyone else here (where you live). An eigth is 3.5 grams, a quarter is 7 grams, half ounce is 14 grams and an ounce is 28 grams (technicaly it is a TINY bit over 28 grams, but no one complains).

[soulzero]

from what i've heard in this area it's 4-5grams per eighth 8grams per quarter 32grams per oz. A dime bag is $10 of bud a nickle would be a joints worth.

but... it all depends on who it is i reckon..

When buying use measurments in grams. 1/4 oz.(7g.), 1/2 oz.(14g.), oz.(28g.), 1/4 pound also known as a QP(4oz.). I always buy a 1/4 pound at a time. Try not to buy less than 1/4 oz> at a time. Anything les and you are probably goin to get ripped off.

In toronto its usually : jus under a gram in a dime (ripoff) 3-3.5 in an eighth 7 in a quarter 14 in a half and 28 in an O.

[stonedTILLiDIE]

yea around here (Massachusettes) a nic (nickel bag) is 5 bucks worth, a dime is 10 bucks worth, an 8th is 3.5 grams, around 30 bucks, a quarter is 7 G's, about 65, a half ounce is 14 G's, around 120-130 bucks, all these prices and amounts are for KB by the way

[MAkeItLEGAl]

nic=$5 (.5g), dime=$10 (1g)..chicago prices

its easy depending on where you are...a dime is 1 gram...a nick is .5 grams

dub is 2 grams

[combat rock x]

Around here those are usually the rules, but there are also another set of rules, like:

a nickel bag (.5g) = a skinny joint
a dime bag (1.0g) = a skinny blunt

I've also heard dub sacks (2.0g) can actually be from 1.9-2.2g. But i guess it really depends on your dealer.

Where I am nickel/dime/dubs dont go by weight its how much you pay for a certain quality/amount. Like a nickle bag would get you anything worth $5. Nickle Bag = How much you can get for $5 - Pretty uncommon to buy a nicklebag Dimebag = How much you can get for $10 Dub = How much you can get for $20 An eigth = 1/8 Ounce = ~3.5 grams A quarter = 1/4 Ounce = ~7 grams and you can do the math from there.

Here's the lingo we use round her in Central FL

For Schwagg/Regz/Mids etc
(You dont by good bud in Nic and Dimes...thats ghetto)
Nic = 1.5g = $5
Dime = 3.5g = $10
1/2oz = 14g = $35
Ounce = 28g = $60

For Krip/Dro/Dank etc.
Gram = $15
1/8oz = 3.5g = $50
1/4oz = 7g = $100
1/2oz = 14g = $160
Ounce = 28g = $270-310

[XLASERxSPEEDX]

5 bag - .4 -.5gs $5
dime- .8 - .9gs $10
20 bag- 1.8g $20
8th- 3.6-3.9gs $40
nick- 7gs 80 bucks
1/2o- $140

this alll depends on who im buy it from... if i got from another person it would be 25 for 2 grams and sometimes if real good shit comes around its 20 bucks per gram and that shit is really dank, dense buds that just smell so GOOD..
