In the mid 60's in Mississippi you could get a dime bag in the black section of town (stems, leaves, seeds)- before the flow of weed started. By 67 a lid (one full ounce) was $20.00 and a pound was $100 - $160. I wish everybody could have experienced 68-72. Talk about doing your own thing - man I miss that.

Yeah, no dimes, lids 3/4 to oz. Varied according to market. West coast, 15 to 20, mid west, 20 to 30, east coast 25 to 40. Predominately Mexican. Also at that time there was not the level of market sophistication there is now, nor the consumer awareness and getting ripped off was not infrequent. No where at that time was the pot as potent as some of the hybrids we have now. The grass was no greener then.

1972 Boulder,Colo.

No one sold "dime bags" in my hood... ten bucks would getcha
1 oz Mexican or
1/2 oz Jamaican or
2 grams Afghani black hash or
1/8 oz Lebanese blond hash.... Those were the days!

ps: The Thai stick was wonderful!

ZW

Is Lebanese blond the same thing as we used to call keef - or were they different animals? Man, I loved hash - just a bit in a pipe - blam!!

I had so much weed i would heat it up in alcohol - strain it - then evaporate off the alcohol -- that was good too - more than once I singed off my eyebrows though. :willy_nilly:

When I came to college in 1970 it was $15 an ounce for Mexican and by 1972 it had gone up to $20.

I can remember selling 1oz bags for $10 and we called that a "dime bag." A half ounce was a "nickel bag" and sold for $5. Pot didn't have a lot of fancy names or come from a lot of exotic places back then. I think it was all Mexican, or possibly domestic. About the only premium brand that I can recall from back then was the legendary Acapulco Gold, and no one ever had any of that. I'm sure it sold for a premium price, too, but I never had the opportunity to find out.
