aka ounce / oz

A zip is one ounce (28 grams) of cannabis. The term derives from the idea that one ounce fits comfortably in a Ziploc-style bag. Zip is the most common slang for the wholesale-to-retail breakpoint in informal cannabis pricing.

Example: How much for a zip of that exotic?

Etymology: 1990s-era slang from the Ziploc bag association.
