What is a dime bag?

A dime bag is a small plastic bag typically used to carry a specific amount of illegal drugs, usually marijuana (approximately $10 worth, hence the name "dime bag"). These bags are commonly sold by drug dealers or in illicit drug markets for small-scale transactions. Dime bags are usually clear or colored plastic and are small enough to fit in a pocket or wallet for easy concealment and transport. The possession and sale of dime bags are illegal in most jurisdictions.
