Not in my dialect, but this is from the BNC:

It must be remembered that, for all but the' career' users, the daily quantity of heroin administered during this early period was generally relatively small. The typical interviewee profile of the' recreational user' is that of' dabbling'at weekends, usually sharing a' bag'with a friend, then gradually filling in the days in between until they are all taken up by heroin use. In the words of one young male user: And for the next three or four months, I was just getting it of a weekend. I'd just get a couple of bags for a Saturday night or whatever and then eventually I just got into it deeper and deeper.
