[unclefishstick]

[Pinball Wizard]

I could always tell when a new shipment hit my little town....all the grocery stores would be out of sandwich baggies.

 

[resinryder]

$15.00 for Black and Gold Columbian, $25.00 for Redbud when it was around. All were 4 fat finger lids. Also $10.00 for grams of Blonde Lebanese hash. Good times.

 

[stasis]

[dddaver]

I love how the you "Old Timers" are always like "Thai..... Columbian.... Mexican".... If we still did that today it would be like..... "Hey let me score a lid of that killer Basement..... Can I grab a nickel bag of that dank Attic Space"

$10. A lid here 'bout 1970. A lid was as much as you could stuff in a baggie & still be able to roll it closed. Not weighed, not trimmed buds, lots of leaf. The term 'four fingers' was a way of bagging an oz by eye, which was a smaller amt than a lid. Back then, if you wanted less than a lid, you went half with a friend. Nobody sold smaller amts.

 

[Sam_Skunkman]

One finger, two finger, three finger, four finger lids, ounces that were weighed, or eye balled, so many different ways. Mostly it was pressed seeded mex and a 4 finger lid could be an oz easy. Think about it, originally it was how much would fit in or on to a "lid" of some kind? The original one should be in a Cannabis museum? Any way back in LA in 1965 they were $5-$15 depending who from and how close to the border, as well as quality, south was cheaper, or should be. But many people I knew did not ever buy lids they just bought a pound or kilo and sold half the weight by the z to keep the other half to smoke for free.
Or just grow it in the 70's.

Silicon Valley early 90's, $240 an ounce for Sinse that was almost as popular as outdoor.

Actually, I guess that was a wholesale price.

 

[420somewhere]

70's - $10 a lid... So Cal $90 Kilo

Then things started getting interesting ....

 

[BOMBAYCAT]

Anywhere from $15 to $30 in my college days in South Dakota. Indica was just being sometimes sold in the later days but I got Mexican Sativa. I remember fondly names like Thai stick, Acapulco Gold, Michoacán. I never got any of the good stuff like Panama Red or Purple Haze.

 

[Pinball Wizard]

Thai stick taught me that the meaning of life was lime green.

 

[D. B. Doober]

well I started smoking in 1994, an ounce was $125. Is an ounce a lid? Basic commercial Mexican brick weed.

 

[bottomland]

My first buy was back in 66 (in mich.) a lb. of mex. cost a buck60 lid's were selling for 10$ n they weighted 3/4 of a oz.

This is always a funny topic for me i get mexican brick weed now a days for what people were paying 30 or more years ago. I live close to mexico their my neighbors and brick weed is abundant. Medium to good quality is the norm but you get shit quality too full o seeds or just very weak stuff all bricked up as hard as a peice of wood. I am waiting for the first of september to buy a half pound for 200 the pound is 300 i think but i wont have enough so i get the quarter pound for 100 each. Ounces sell for forty here or lids are forty here 10 dollars fora quarter ounce/ lid today. Pounds were 200 about 8 years ago i bet some still pay that much or 250 you can be charged up to 500 a pound butbetter be extremely good because even good stuff will be 20 an ounce wholesale because it sells for forty an ounce retail. You lose customers or sell slowly if you have to pay more than 20 an ounce wholesale or 320 a pound but we all know theirs assholes out their ripping people off. Like people selling for 2 dollars a gram will make a killing but will sell slowly and lose customers to the ones selling dimes at seven grams orounces for 40 dollars.

 

[rolandomota]

One pound is sixteen ounces so i get 1 quarter pound for 100 thats 25 an ounce for regular mexican weed today nextdoor to mexico. If i get a pound for 300 its less than 20 dollars an ounce. I hate paying 40 an ounce. Thats why i always say forget that 10 to 20 a gramm crap i will take the mexican crap all the time and im hardly ever dissappointed if i take the expensive stuff im always let down by it its just weak and never enough

 

[WelderDan]

$13 for decent non-brick Mex and $15 for commercial Colombian. Colombian Red was $20 - $25 and Colombian Gold was $25-$30. Panama Red and Jamaican was about the same as the C-bo Red. This was '75-'76. You'd see Acapulco Gold now and then too, about $25 - $30. Thai stick drifted through sometimes, $15-$30 a stick. By 1980, you'd see a little Red bud now and then, but the Gold and Thai was no more and the Red was $35 - $40. Local homegrown was $100 and it was prime Sativa, bred from the best Golds and Thai. Rumor had it (from a reliable source) that the local weed was Colombian Gold x Acapulco Gold/Thai. It finished late November and it was almost completely Purple. So sticky it would barely smoke, even after cure. Very vibrant long lasting high. Made your heart race. Lots of people couldn't manage more than a few tokes. A real lung buster too. Very expansive. Miss that weed.

 

[Pinball Wizard]

The further you are from the supply train...the more it costs.

 

[rives]

1973, Arcata homegrown was $10 for a 4-finger bag big enough that your dog could have used it for a pillow. Most of the golds, reds, etc were $15-25, and I had major sticker shock when sinsemilla showed up for $40-50.

 

[Danbridge]

In the 70's ten bucks for mex or colombo...

Yep I remember $10 an ounce for mexibrick. High quality you paid $40 for an ounce, which back on the 70's was a ton of money for an ounce of pot.
