When I was a kid in the mid-70's a "lid" cost $25. A lid was a pound of weed. Both the quality and cost shot up in the next decade.
Disclaimer: I don't smoke pot, so this is second hand smoke, so to speak. But, there were so many hippies around where I grew up that I literally thought patchouli was what people smelled like when then hadn't bathed in a week.
- omarchowdhury 16y agoI'm pretty sure a lid was an ounce. A pound for $25 is too low, during the 70s. That's enough for a High schooler to smoke 1 1-gram joint everyday for 2 school calendar years on just a couple of days worth of lunch money.
- eof 16y agoA lid is an ounce. My favorite pot-quantity terms are "slice" and "elbow". A slice being an 1/8th of an ounce (as in a slice of pizza) An elbow being a pound (as in 1 lb)
