I'm So Old I Remember When Pot Was $40 An Ounce!!!

[KittyWampus]

Haven't smoked pot in maybe 15 years or so, thank goodness.

Saved a lot of money and brain cells.

[short bus president]

1. That was about 4 years ago in Tucson...

damned lucky southwesterners!

[Gunit_Sangh]

2. Got you beat

I remember when pot went for $25 an oz (good homegrown stuff -- not that foreign pot).

Hey maybe you ought to pick it up again. I've been *told by a friend* that the stuff's a LOT better these days. Besides what do we need money and brain cells for?

Dinner for 2 at a fancy restaurant or a month being stoned. Which will it be?

[KittyWampus]

3. No Desire To Smoke. Besides, I'd Spend The Whole High Remembering

How to breath! :D

[never cry wolf]

4. Dayum

We used to be able to get a "lid" for $15. Jamaican for $30.

I have no idea where it is now, 30 years later.

[argyl]

5. $10 an ounce in Texas,way back in the late 60s.Haven't smoked in almost

20 years.When I quit prices in Texas weren't a lot cheaper than the rest of the country.

[serryjw]

10. ME TOO!

1968!

[TX-RAT]

38. I think i remember those days.

Been a long, long time, ago. Quit when i got of the Army in 72.

[PDittie]

6. 1 oz. dime bags (three to four fingers)

and $110 dollars a pound. You do the math on the gross profit (or net, depending on one's consumption).

1974.

[rustydog]

31. A four-finger lid???!!!!

man, you just created a flash-back!

I remember my friends complaining when someone tried tos ell a lid for 15.00.
I busted a kid once in the late '60's who paid 90.00 for a lid.
son of a bitch! Made him flush it down he toilet.(beats going to jail!)

[johnnie]

7. 50 cents a joint...

Then a buck for a long time. I have no idea what it is these days. Do they still roll joints? :shrug:

[lapislzi]

40. I remember $1/joint in my HS

Folks did a thriving business back in the 70s.

Now I get my annual joint from a friend who grows. And, yes, people still smoke joints.

[21winner]

8. 30 yrs ago.

$40 buught a 1/4 pound and in Ohio, getting popped was only a fine. It was lower quality then.

I quit it in the '80s.

[RebelYell]

14. Ohio pot laws are lax

You can have up to 4 oz. in Ohio and it's a misdemeanor.

[mongo]

41. Yes, but owning a pipe with resin on it can get you

30 days in jail. Go figure. They are also very keen on suspending your drivers liscence if they find pot in your car.

[tridim]

9. You saved money, but not brain cells

Unlike alcohol, pot doesn't kill cells. Recent studies show that it can actually heal sick cells (as in Alzheimers).

[RebelYell]

15. I had a serious surgery a few years ago

Out-patient, sent home 2 hours after gall bladder removal. Extremely nauseous, I won't sicken you with the details.

Husband went next door and got a little from the neighbor kid. One toke and the nausea left, never to return.

[RebelOne]

11. I haven't smoked pot for a long, long time,

but I used to pay $25 for top-grade Columbian.

[Skittles]

12. I remember when DEA were the first 3 letters in the word DEAL

:o

[shanti]

13. ganj doesn't destroy brain cells

i HATE when people say this! now alcohol...most definitely does.

why are you perpetuating that myth?

[RebelYell]

16. Doesn't it

destroy short term memory? Or is that BS too?

[elperromagico]

20. I don't remember.

:smoke:

[RebelYell]

21. LMAO!

Don't bogart. It's not polite.

[shanti]

26. it doesn't "destroy" anything

physical and it's not physically addictive.

[JimmyJazz]

37. here's what I've got to say:

that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

[TX-RAT]

39. What was the question?

[KittyWampus]

22. I'm Sorry, And It's Too Late To Edit Post

:(

[skygazer]

17. Thirty years

Or pretty close. I've quit many things but I never saw a reason to quit smoking pot. :hippie:

[mitchtv]

18. Honey, I rmember nickle bags in small manila

stamp bags before baggies came into use early 60's NYC

[elperromagico]

19. "Man, I remember when a dimebag cost a dime!"

"You know how much condoms used to cost back then? ... I don't know, we never used 'em!"

[mark414]

23. oh shit

i wish!

[Kat45]

24. $40/ounce--you're just a youngster!

In my college pot-smoking days, it was $20/ounce, usually Mexican. Sometimes $15/ounce.

[truthspeaker]

25. I've gotten it for $50 an ounce - but only if I buy 4 ounces at a time

[Bridget Burke]

27. I wonder how much Laura charged?

And how much she paid? All this reminiscing is fun. If any of us meet her, be sure to ask!

(Joking--don't want anybody to get arrested.)

[puerco-bellies]

28. $10 for a four finger lid.. God I'm old!

[truthspeaker]

30. What the hell is a "lid"?

[noonwitch]

33. I think that a lid is an ounce. I'm not sure

In the 80s, we called an ounce an oo-zee.

[truthspeaker]

34. now it's just a "Z"

or a "zip"

[Cartooner]

29. HEY, THAT'S NOTHING

I'm so old, I remember when POT was somthing to take a dump in... lol

[bearfan454]

32. Back in the day for me it was $35 an ounce for

kick ass Columbian goldbud or redbud. Of course that was back in the day.

[UpsideDownFlag]

35. how much for an 8Ball?

[Ernesto]

36. $10 for a "can"

A "can" was the amount of pot that filled a Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco can.... That was in the early '60's in So Cal.

[dancing kali]

42. Infant!

I remember $20 - $25 an ounce.
