“Why I remember when it was $10.”


$10.00 was the normal price for many years, but there was a period where it dropped down to $6.00 for an ounce.

I wonder how many people remember when you could buy a ‘matchbox’.

In the early ‘70s it was $10 a lid if we were lucky, sometimes it got as pricey as $20 for a lid - but it better be damn good for that price, like Oaxacan maybe.....

Lids, dime & nickel bags....then there were elbows.....

Yeah, I recall a matchbox. And then there was the $1 for a joint.

You must be, like, a million years old. Memories, eh?
