hell nickels in my area are a single bowl. Depends on what you are distributing and how informed your clientelle is. I believe in pot karma and if someone asks me for a five-bowl (as they are referred to around here) and I have it, I normally give it to them. $5 ain't shit in my eyes, but it's all up to you on how to distribute.
Then again the only people that ask me for weed are my close friends.
