I came across this online today. High Times best strains of 1980. Four finger bags - $20

I've seen this before crucialbunny and i still laugh. Smoked many of these strains thru the years and looking at some of the pics, i wouldnt pay 20 bucks an ounce for some of that skank now. Ahh the joy of sifting the seeds out on an album cover, bitching about it and throwing them all in the ashtray. Have you ever had the mexican brick weed?(early 90s) It was a compressed brick of absolutely trash weed. oh the good ole days.

One can still find Jamaican brick weed. Buddy (Jamaican) called it cess???look that term up with no results, must be local slang..

[crucialbunny]

Only once did I see a Mexican kilo brick. A buddy got it and it looked and smelled like hay as I remember. It had sat in the bottom of the boat apparently, so half of it was covered in a white crusty mold when he unwrapped it. The first time I ever saw a big quantity of weed was when I helped unload 30 military duffle bags filled with Michoacan spears. That was probably around 1978-79.

Ahh yes...@homegrown sifting seeds on an album cover...what joy. Most of my t-shirts had seed holes in the front. I've not seen that pic before but did 'enjoy' some of those different cultivars. 3 finger lids were $10...you can imagine what ya got for that but we didn't know any better.

Yep back in the early 1970 we would sit and smoke a 4 finger bag in a night. WHOooooooohhhhh. But that was with the 8way hit of orange barrel acid. Peace Out

Only 1, I must have been a heavy smoker, we busted a new LB every day, I did sell some of it.

[Blowdout2269]

Well, less than half of that pound was probably viable. Sticks and seeds, right?

[Rwise]

you got that right!

[DW2]

Thanks, crucialbunny, you and Mr. Peabody, make me 'wax nostalgically'. Especially with the Michoacán, my roommate had some great connections from that region!

So happy i was born in a generation where i didnt have to smoke that stuff lol

My brother sold cars for 25 years. An early customer was mostly interested in the trunk size. They became friends. I saw a car trunk full of bricks or bales. I also had a briefcase containing $67K sitting on my kitchen table once. The 70s

Local guy and his older relative were fishing in FL. Bales starting floating toward them. They filled the boat to the brim. Made over $60K.

[Rwise]

I had a car that one could put a full size mattress in the trunk, and sleep on it.

How many of you found rocks in those bricks?
We collected them and traded them back for weed, save them until theres a kilo worth. Found one as big as my fist (I wore a size 13.5 ring in HS) in one brick. Many the size of marbles.
All the rocks, and seeds is why I started growing my own, surely I can do this well!

[SoOrbudgal]
