I like this definition at urbandictionary:
Contrary to popular belief a Lid is not an ounce of weed. The coffee cans had a key like a sardine can and the Lid would be wound off the can. The Lid used to measure usually contained about 4 fingers of pot. People at that time didn't have a triple scale to weight pot.
lemonboy Reviewed by lemonboy on . whats a lid? I heard it was an ounce but then I was watching Blow and thefat dude said he was splittin the bags into 3 finger lids. Then I looked it up and it said that Lids are measured by fingers w/e that means. It had like a qoute that said "the lid was one finger short of a full bag". So how do you measure weed with fingers? The site also said they measured with fingers becuase they didnt have scales. Does anyone have a clear explanation for what a lid is? Rating: 5
