Where did the term ‘dime bag’ come from?
The term "dime bag" or “dime sack” is slang for $10 worth of weed. It was given the name “dime” referring to the name of the American 10 cents coin. The name dime bag caught on in the 70’s and has since been used to refer to any $10 bag of weed.
How much does a dime bag of weed weigh?
A dime bag of weed typically weighs about one gram, however the name ‘dime bag’ refers to the cost rather than the weight. So, in areas where weed is more expensive a dime bag could weigh less than 1 gram.
How much should a dime of weed cost?
A dime of weed costs exactly $10, the price itself doesn’t change as a dime bag effectively means a ten dollar bag. However it is the amount of weed that is in a dime bag that changes depending on where you buy your bud.

This depends on how generous your dealer is. Let’s just say that the average dime bag weighs around 1 gram, you should be able to roll about two to three small joints out of it. That is if each joint is made from 0.3 to 0.5 grams of bud.
How many blunts can you roll with a dime bag?
Blunts are made from the same tobacco leaf wraps as cigars and are much thicker than joints. The average blunt holds around 1 gram of weed, which means you could probably only get one decent sized blunt from a single dime bag. Of course, it depends on how generous you are with your blunts.
How many bong hits can you get our of a dime bag?
Most bong bowls hold around 0.3 grams of weed so you should be able to get 3-5 bong hits from a dime bag depending on how you fill your bowls. Smaller bowls will give you more hits, while filling those big bowls right to the top might only give you 2 hits out of that dime sack.
A dime bag of weed is a small, $10 amount that should weigh about one gram. However, this really depends on how generous your dealer is or how expensive weed is where you live. Dime bags are great for a quick puff without breaking the bank but for regular smokers they certainly won’t last long.
