how much did bud cost on the streets back in the 50s/60s? Don't now about the 50s, but in the 60s, you could get decent buds for 50 bucks a kilo, 2.2 lbs, the super buds were about 75-100 bucks a kilo, Panama Red, the best I've ever smoked, was about 150 a kilo. lids were 10 bucks, 15 for the good stuff and usualy were over an ounce as most guys just stuffed as much as they could get in a sandwich bag. I never weighed my lids, just stuffed them full, later in the game 70s, the growers got smart and changed to the pound and the price remained the same in essence doubling the price. and from there it just escalated into the ridiculousness of today. Today they sell it by the gram, or so I'm told as I haven't bought any pot in 20 years! My supplier lived in sunset beach in an old 1 car garage 1 bedroom shack. Never parked anything but kilos in the garage, I've seen kilos stacked to the roof in that garage! I helped a couple a times un load a 1 ton chevy van filled with Kilos, Backed right up to the open garage door at 3 in the morning and we tossed them in and stacked them, that was in the days of police ignorance, Couldn't get away with that now! That guy was supplying a large part of the costal region around Huntington Beach, and even some Cholos from East L.A. He was an adamant surfer, and the most coherent stoner I've ever known! I just basically sold Oz.s, Sold a few kilos, but mostly Oz.s to my friends!, You could get 25 fat lids out of a kilo and have 6+ oz.s left to smoke, nice little profit 250.00 for a 50.00 kilo, yup, those were the days.~LOL~

Back in 1957 we were paying ten dollars a "lid." For you youngsters, that would be ten dollars an ounce. It wasn't measured with a scale, but with four fingers along side the bag. When the bag was four fingers full, you paid your ten bucks and the bag was yours. It was some of the best pot I've ever had. It was from Mexico, full of stems and seeds ... but great pot, none the less.

In your dreams! In my dreams too.

I've been posting on canna sites for a number of years now and this is a topic of discussion that comes up from time to time. Most agree that all the "old time goodness" has been bred out of cannabis in the interest of early finishing times, taste, aroma and small plants to satisfy indoor growers. I've grown out a ton of strains; beans that have been ordered from some of the worlds greatest breeders ... and have yet to find even ONE that comes close to what you and I are looking for. I'm fond of telling the story about the pot that was grown in a friend of a friend's vacant lot behind his house in San Diego back in the late 60s. Two tokes off of a VERY thin pinner and the high lasted for hours and could have passed for mescaline. No shit. I would pay $1000 for just one healthy clone of that plant. Even more if I had to. Talk about return on investment: "Uhhh ... hey, man ... that's the best bud I've ever smoked. Can you get me some?" ..... "Get you some? Why sure ... for $2000 an ounce! Oh wait ... I have an extra Gram I'll sell ya for a hundred bucks!" LMAO!

Some of the Hazes will get you close to something like the old Thai Sticks and such ... but nothing close to the San Diego Wonder Weed. That shit was simply amazing. Did we save the seeds? Did anyone ever save the seeds?
