Or quarter sack [.25 oz; $20 - $40 (any higher quality than that is
usually sold by the gram.], or QP [4 oz.; $250 - $500]. I've never
heard of a 50 cent bag/sack [Which I assume would be .50 oz.; $35 -
$70], but it might be common in the area 50 Cent was rasied.

Interesting to note some names will obviously only be meaningfull to
people from a certain cultural (linguistical) background. For example
I am from germany and would have never made the "50 Cent drug
connection"
I assume the same will be the case in 2060 seattle with different
dialects and slangs fom the various sprawls or even different corners
of the same sprawl.

Well, in 2060 as today, I suppose that would be the case, but in 2060
Seattle I'd imagine most people would share similar slangs for such things.
It's more regional than cultural.
