OK. We've taken enough abuse about our ignorance regarding marijuana sales.
Some of you have expressed amazement that fully realized human beings such as we might not know what a "dime bag" is.
One reader went so far as to compare alcohol and pot, or grass, or weed, or ... OK, that's the extent of our knowledge of "street names" for Mary Jane.
So he says it should be obvious that a "dime bag" is $10 worth of marijuana in a bag.
Now comes this story from Florida, and we'll just see who the smartypants is.
A television reporter has reported that three third-graders in Orange County got busted for bringing pot to school.
The reporter reported, and we quote, "With a street value of about $10, the nickel bags of pot are far from the biggest drug seizure ever."
Note: $10, nickel bags. So maybe the pot was worth $10, the bag worth a nickel.
Anyway, the kids face felony charges of drug possession.
And we oppose that, just in case certain people are reading this. (WickedPaganNinja, that means you.)
