      A dime sack is referring to the monetary value. The amount per ten sack would vary in time and place, but you bet your ass your dealer was weighing it. It was nice and affordable for an employed teenager to have a bit of fun on a Saturday.

      “Ounces,” often are just close enough to be easily divisible, and the pounds those come from are often calculated from the ounces instead.

      You’ll typically get a 28 gram ounce, and a 448 gram pound.
