Usage of "slang"

Hi,

Do native speakers use the verb "to slang" to mean "to sell" (or maybe it's strictly for criminals),

As in:

I slang keys/dope/weed

He's a weed slanger

Thanks !

Hi,

Just don't talk like that in your job interview, unless the job is dealing crack.

Thanks, Clive

I just wanted to poll native speakers on whether they are familiar with the verb or not.

I see that it's not in common use among natives.

(I gots to be careful with using it then
