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~
