what does "dime" and "nickel" mean?

[intrepidus6]

What is a dime bag and a nickle bag?

[Snake2389]

dime is 10 bucs worth of bud and nickle is 5 bucs worth of bud

[slipknotpsycho]

generally, 10$ worth the weed and 5$ worth the weed... but i highly doubt you're going to find many people here that buy/sell as small as 5$... so just take my word for it... i'm assuming you're buying schwagg/mids if you're even having to wonder what a nickel is... which no i'm not meaning it to sound like it may... those are my grades...

[1chronic]

a nickel, or "nick" meaning 5 Cents = 5 Grams, no...it does not cost 5 cents, lol, that's just where it comes from.

a Dime,(i.e.), 10 cents, is 10 Grams

If you have a good dealer you will get say 6.5 grams and 13-14 grams in a nick and dime respectively as a thanks for buying suck a decent amount from them, if your buying off the street your usually just getting you 5 and 10.

Yes, as I noticed it has a different meaning for different areas, this is how it is around here.

[intrepidus6]

Are you sure? Cause this guy was telling me he knew a guy who could get me a nickle bag for 90$ or a half nickle for 50$ and he acted like it was a really good deal.

[Who Dat]

Read my post, that's what he was talking about.

a Dime is normally $100
and a Nick is 50-60 depending on the quality of the bud.

[intrepidus6]

No I trust this guy, he's one of the most honest and trustworthy people I know... there must just some confusion somwhere about what "nickle" means.

[1chronic]

Read my first post... and my second...

But he ws saying a nickle for 90$ or a half nickle for 50$...

[budsmoker only]

ask him what that means, cuz i think there are differnt terms used in different places..

[1chronic]

Then it better be the best fucking weed you've ever smoked in your life.

[Who Dat]

I've never heard a nick or dime refer to grams.. I've always used nicks and dimes as in a standard nickle or dime bag.. If that's right and it's nugs and you're paying $50 for a "half nickle" (2.5 grams) that's right.

[1chronic]

Well here it's grams, and a half nickle ( if it were 2.5 grams ) would be 25 dollars.

[MacWQ33]

Why can't people be normal and just say gram, eighth (3.5G), quarter (7G), half ounce (14G), ounce (28G), pound (16OZs), and kilo (2.2LBs)?

[Who Dat]

Well here it's grams, and a half nickle ( if it were 2.5 grams ) would be 25 dollars.

If that's nugs that's a steal, if it's mid grade weed that is a rip off... do you know the difference

[Psycho4Bud]

LOL........I remember when a nickle was 10 grams and a dime was 20 grams.:D

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Amen to that!!!

[BUDdHOLLY]

^Agree with you guys.

I've always associated a nickel as 5 grams and a dime as 10 grams. A nick normally is $35 or so, a dime $50 or so.

[konqrr]

Hes from Canada...Basicly Canadian prices for ganja are U.S. prices cut in half

$400 worth of bud in the U.S. would cost you $200 in Canada.

Nice nugs bro my dealer hooks me up, of course I know the difference what do you think I'm new?

I thought you were because you didn't know what a nickel or dime was, but it looks like there are lots of different meanings... all I've ever heard referred to as a nick or dime is $5/$10 of schwag.. are Canadian weed prices really about half? Damn

[1chronic]

Yeah there really different all over, and it's not always that way, it depends on where you live and how good a dealer you have.

[hewhispers]

'Dime Bag' is a general term for $10 worth of weed.

Back in the day, a 1/4 Ounce (7 Grams) only cost $10.
An 1/8 ounce was $5, thus the terms, nickel bag and dime bag.

[Nochowderforyou]

Well a dime coin is .10cents, and a nickel coin is .5cents, sooooo, a "dimebag" means $10 worth, and a "nickel bag" is $5 worth.

$5 worth is generally a joints worth, a standard size joint, so $10 worth would be double that.

That's how it was for back in the day us anyways, where you could actually buy bags that small.

[young Hustla]

a dime bag is something a dealer will sell u for $10 and a nickel is somthing a dealer will sell u for $5

[RedLocks]

lol @ some of the responses.. sigh...

anyways, how much herb people in you area deem acceptable for 5 or 10 is what a nick or dime is where you live, not everyone in the world is weighing shit out to slang. lol kind of funny growing up, what I call nick bags I get a handful of em for 5 dollars, so really they were like.. penny bags lol.. sigh, wonder what went through someones mind when they were like hey lets call a 60 dollar bag a nickle even though I can't see any reason to name it after a coin that is 5 cents. Think ima start selling dubs for 30 bwaaaa

[Buddahbear]

I know people who sell nickels and dimes of headies, you just don't get that much.

[HookahMan]

Then it better be the best fucking weed you've ever smoked in your life.

haha yeah

The most common thing is a dime is 10 bucks a nickle is 5 bucks, around here anyway

[hewhispers]

in NY they sell mostly $20s and $100s
not too much selling of the smaller stuff.

[orange floyd]

long island:

($5)nicks (only if its middies/regs)
($10)dimes (any type of bud, unless like supers or exotics and the dealer wont bother)
($20)deuces (any type of bud, but most people wont pay that much for mids/regs)

[HookahMan]

oh shit dude your from long island? I was born in New Jersey. Cool ass place.

[RedLocks]

I know people who sell nickels and dimes of headies, you just don't get that much.
hah yeah I got that on the street in jersey like 2 differnt times where they handed me this bag and i was like what the fuck small, then i looked at it and said ohh shit give me a few more ;)

[marvelous22]

Are you guys like retarted??? A nick bag doesnt cost 100 dollars... Wtf

I used to sell nicks,dimes, dubs, and 50.......

A nick is 5 dollars worth of weed, about .3 a bag if its good weed and about 1 gram worth of weed if its shwagg...

A dime is 10 dollars worth of weed, .4-7 if its good weed and about 1.5 gram for shwagg
