60's or 70's

To those who grew up in the 60's or 70's:

How much weed could you get for how much money?

 

my friends mom said it was 20 an ounce or something like that where she lived. i could definatly be mistaken though.

 

1975....90 bucks for an ounce of killer black hash....20 bucks for weed[oz].....350 bucks for 1000 hits orange barrel acid.....

 

AAHHH!

 

sounds too good to be true

 

i read in a book somewhere that in the early sixties, a kilo of mexican went for 50-80 bucks.

 

don't forget to take into account money's value back then compared to now though.

 

yea I was just about to say the same thing, in the 60's 50 bucks was no small amount of money

still really really cheap for a kilo though, lol

 

if only we had time machines

 

i think you're talking about the book Hippie and it was like a pound for $70.. i have the book somewhere.. but it was bricky ass downtown georgia brown

 

then i'd go back to like 2000BC when the chinese were cultivating marijuana and blaze til i was as chink eyed as them

 

We called 0's "lids" ~ don't ask me why!

and paid $10 for what y'all are calling mids these days

or $15 ~ $20 for "headies" ~ buddha stick, mostly

That was overseas ^

in "the World" (USA), when i got back,

the prices were, like, $15 ~ $20 an 0, and the quality SUCKED!

​

 

I'm not sure if I would wanna go back in time b/c I'm pretty sure nowadays weed is way more potent. But still it would be badass to just go back in time & buy a buttload of weed for way less money.

 

bah all they had was pure scwhag back then, that huge stash that they found with that body turned out to be MALE buds :toetap05:

 

they found some really old hashish in a shipwreck somewhere...just found it..googled hashish and shipwreck...was still potent

 

yup.

 

In California, around '66 this is what the prices were:
on the average a kilo would sell for a hundred dollars.
If it was high quality like Acapulco Gold it could go for as much as $150.
Very few people sold pounds- but when they did it would go for 60 -70 dollars.
The reason they didn't sell in pounds was because they would have to cut a kilo in half using a hack saw or a sharp knife. messy job. The next size down would be a lid. That would go for 7-12 dollars depending on the quality. The reason it was called a lid was because it was measured by the amount that you could get into a metal tobacco can lid and then placed into a baggie.
Alot of people would call that an ounce but it wasn't- far from it. If you couldn't afford a lid the next thing you could get was a matchbox. It sold for between 2-3 dollars. The appearance of all pot back then was dried up and compressed bricks that were full of stems and seeds over 15 %. I don't know about anywhere else, but the quality of the stone was always really good. The only thing that was sold back then was sativas. Indicas weren't even heard of back then.
To give you an idea of the value of a dollar back then, my first job was a bus boy in a mediocre restaurant. I was paid 85 cents an hour. A pack of cigarettes sold for 35 cents.

^interesting, thank you for that

 

Oh yeah, I forgot my history teacher was saying back in the 50's weed was nowhere near as potent as today's.

 

My boyfriend was telling he could get an overflowing shot glass for 5 bucks.
