What is a dub of weed?
Ever wondered what a “dub” of weed is besides just sounding cool? Let’s look into where this term originates and find out how much weed you should really be getting inside your dub bags!
Why is $20 called a dub?
If you’ve ever bought weed from a dealer, you may have heard the term ‘dub’ being used to describe a $20 bag of weed, but where did this originally come from? Back in the 80’s, cannabis was often sold in $10 bags. But if you wanted a $20 bag, you would ask for a double (as in a double $10 bag). This was clearly too long for most people, and it eventually got shortened to “dub”.
How much does a dub of weed weigh?
A dub of weed traditionally weighed 2 grams, however, as the cost of weed has increased with inflation the actual weight of a dub bag has decreased. The price of a dub has remained the same and will cost you $20 however, what used to be $10 per gram in some states is now closer to $20 per gram. If you are lucky, you will get a $20 dub with 2 grams of bud, but most often it can weigh anywhere between 1 and 2 grams.
How much does a dub of weed cost?
A dub of weed costs $20. This price is generally consistent regardless of where you live because a dub means $10 + $10. However, it is the weight of a dub that can vary. If weed is more expensive in your region, then you can expect 1-1.5 grams of bud in your $20 dub bag.
How long will a dub of weed last?
Again, this depends on how generous your dealer is. If you get a dub bag that weighs exactly 2 grams, and you roll joints that use 1 gram of cannabis each. How long it actually lasts depends on how frequently you smoke. If you tend to smoke a joint each day, a dub will cover you for two days. However, if you smoke less often, it could last you for several days or even longer.
How many joints can you make with a dub bag?
With a dub bag, you can typically make two joints if you use the average amount of 1 gram per joint. However, if you prefer smaller joints or want your dub bag to last a bit longer, you can roll three to four joints by using 0.5 grams for each.
