Dime bag (also referred to as a "dime") — $10 worth
Dub - twenty bag, $20 worth
30 sack - $30 worth

25, or a quarter — It is $100 worth and works with the savings system by giving you $20 amount free with it.
Lid- $200 worth, It is usually the largest amount bought at a time. It is referred to as a lid because the height of the amount of marijuana in the bag is equal to the width of the lid of a bucket.
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))
Sock—1 gram
Shirt—1/8 ounce (3.5 g)
Pants—1/4 ounce (7 g)
Jacket—1 ounce (28 g)
Buyer: "How much do you think a pair of pants would cost?"
Dealer: "A pair of pants would cost $X.00."
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 $25 bags (referred to as a "stick" or "wick" or a "twent"), $50 bags (referred to as a "fifty"), quarter "quart", half ounces "half", ounces 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 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
