That's a line from Cheech and Chong's Big Bamboo album...Officer Stadanko trying to buy "Some good shit"

3. That reminds me, I need to get another lid of 'food' for my stash

[brewens]

7. Now that takes me back. The first bag of weed I bought was the only time the guy called it a "lid".

A "four fingered lid" if I remember right. That was supposed to be an ounce. Could have been the last "lid" ever sold as far as I know. It may have been a year or two before I bought another bag. By then it was always referred to as the hopefully actual weight.

10. It was specifically the four fingered lid that was a Z

During the 70's it came to be used regionally as representative of typical amounts people would buy. An oz, a half, etc, kind of like the notion of a 'dime bag'. It's just part of the private language between you and your dealer, lol.

The switch to 'actual weight' was one of the things that helped me learn the conversion between imperial and metric measuring systems.

11. Did you ever use the cheap little hand-held scale? I can't remember what weight it was that

a nickle was supposed to be? That was what passed for calibration.

[htuttle]

13. Yup, the crappy tin kind

I think it was supposed to be 5 grams, give or take.

[JustGene]

16. Shotglass

was a nickel bag in '72 (CHI)

[brewens]

4. Remember? :)

[yonder]

6. You beat me to it.

12. We call

our heap "the cache". It's primarily on the queen sized bed in the guest room. Needless to say, we're not expecting any overnight visitors these days.

[abqtommy]

14. Hell, I'm so old that I remember when I could get a stash of 1 lid for 5 bucks!
