Gram
From MarijuanaWiki
The gram or gramme (Greek/Latin root grámma) symbol g, is a unit of mass. Originally defined as the mass of 1 cubic centimeter of water at 4°C but now taken as the 1/1000th of the SI base unit kilogram, or 1×10−3 kg, a mass preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. A gram is the typical unit of measure when buying/selling weed.

Uses
A gram is a typical unit of measure for marijuana. A typical price for weed is 10 dollars per gram in many places, though prices do vary depending on quality and supply. Often referred to as "a G", this is the smallest amount most street dealers will sell. It is usually packaged in a "Dime Bag", called so because the price of a dime bag is typically 10 dollars, hence the correlation between a dime and the cost of a gram.
