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.

The old timers always wax philosophically about how much cheaper pot was back in the day.

But according to the handy dandy inflation calculator, $10 in, say 1973, was worth about $47. So if one can get an ounce for $60, the price difference isn’t all that drastic.
