I'm only 30, so I can only remember prices as far back as the early 90's, when chronic was $35 a quarter. Mids were $25.

Just wondering what some of the older stoners here can remember from years ago.
Howdy MJM,

I joined the hippy revolution in '72,I went from having a flat-top hair-cut,to growing my hair out and parting it down the middle,I started wearing bell-bottoms and other hippy attire,my old man didn't like it,but my brother and I,stood our ground. I was the only guy in highschool with a goatee,and the principal dang sure didn't like it,but my old man stood up for me..and I never did shave it off. I jumped in,with both feet,into being a hippy freak and doing dang near every kind of weed and drug,I could git my hands on..lol.

We had panama red and acapulco gold,oaxacan and skunk,as well as cheap mexican weed. We got the good stuff,for 40-60 for an oz and the cheap was 10 for an oz,we had acid,shrooms,mescaline,T,pcp,crystal meth,ether meth,blue flake coke and soapstone coke,3 kinds of heroin,but it was the one drug I forbid my brother to take-and neither did I,green-n-clears,blue-n-clears,yellows,reds and jelly reds,jelly greens,preludes and qualudes..and untold amounts of whiskey,gin,tequila,wine and beer..we did git some hash,but not much. Every Friday night,my brother and I,would git a case of beer and a lid,all for about 20 bucks,then we'd go on the hunt for the more exotic weed and drugs.

The 70's was a wonderful time to be a hippy..but the rednecks in my area,didn't like it one bit..lol. My old man,dang sure didn't like it-he was 6' 5" and 250lbs of pure meaness..but my brother and I,stood our ground..and eventually I moved out,at the age of 16,into my own place,my brother,shortly after.

Yup-the 70's were great !

Have a good one...
