ive heard this term in many places, mostly cheech and chong, but what is a lid or how much is a lid?

gatorgrower · 12-30-2001, 04:54 PM

a lid is an old term for an ounce

dedbr · 12-30-2001, 05:31 PM

is three quarters of an ounce.

absentdreamerr · 12-30-2001, 08:57 PM

I heard its an ounce plus like a little more.

Peace Out

ahah to keep this thread confusing ...
i'll say a lid is 1.23 ounces

dedbr · 12-31-2001, 01:08 AM

this being discussed anymore.And where do you get your answers?A lid is a 3/4 ounce sack.There is no need for any more discussion about it.Please get your answers right before you answer the question.

I'd trust dedbr on this, as he was buying weed back when they sold it in lids.

dedbr · 12-31-2001, 01:28 AM

the reason I know.In most states,when decrim. first hit,the cut off point was usually an ounce for simple misdemeanor possesion,so a 3/4 ounce bag was only a fine.People wanted to get as much as they could,but didn't want to get into felony land,hence the need for a 3/4 sack.You could buy it and get in trouble and not get anything more than a fine.

Makes sense huh?

A common phrase was,"I'm going to get a lid..anybody want to ride?"
Now,of course,that is the original meaning,it could be changed to mean anything in a particular area,especially one like Canada,where it is predominately wilderness.

I was offering my 2 cents, thanks for setting it straight.

Peace Out
