What is Eight Bit?
1.
1/16 oz of cannabis resin. Used to cost £8 and you were meant to get 8 joints out of it (but more like 3 to 5). Most dealers would not sell quantities so small.
Term used in the west of Scotland in the 1990s. I wouldn't know if it is still used (its likely that drug prices have changed since then).

Mr dealer: Alas not.
unreliable scoundrel: Not even an eight bit?
