Terms also from the 1930s period include:
In the UK, cannabis is often referred to by quantity:
Realistically though, unless you're safe with your dealer or you know the geezer who grows it, you're gonna get mugged off. Probably end up paying £10 and getting a 0.8/0.7.
In the US, cannabis is often referred to by price:
In the Northeastern U.S. it is common to speak of cannabis in terms of clothing store merchandise or food (e.g., a slice is 1/8 oz. (3.5 g))
In Canada, similar terms to those in the UK are used, but grams are used in small quantities, and fractional ounces are actually weighed out in grams. For example, an "o" or ounce in most of Canada will be weighed as exactly 28 grams on a scale, which is an approximation. Common purchase units are the "half", "quarter" and "eighth", or "half quarter", weighed out as 14, 7, and 3.5 grams respectively. Grams are used for lower quantities, and may be referred to as "grrs".
In Australia, cannabis is usually sold in $20 bags containing 1 gram (referred to as a "stick"), $50 bags containing 3 grams (referred to as a "fifty"), quarter, $100 dollar bags containing 7 grams "quart" or "hundy", half ounces, 14 grams "half", ounces (28 grams) and pounds, 1/8 can also be called a half-quarter. Dealers also occasionally deal $30 bags, common in Western Australia. On the sunshine coast most people sell in $10 bags or 'tenners' or $50 bags.
In New Zealand, the smallest quantity you can usually buy is one gram, costing $20-25, which is referred to as a “tin” or a “tinny” due to generally being wrapped in tin foil. $50 bags are referred to as a “fid” or “fiddy”, and contain 3-4 grams. A “hundy” weighs about 7g and costs $100, although these are not always available. Larger quantities are in line with the Uk, Canada, and Australia, being measured in half ounces (“half”), ounces (“O” or “full”), and pounds.
In India, cannabis (and especially hashish) is usually sold in tolas, one tola being 10 grams. Interestingly, a tola is also the standard unit of weight used by jewelers and dealers often use jewelers scales to measure their product
