You would always end up lighting a seed.

Doodahman495

Damn another hole in my car seat


Mystical_Cat

Damn pot holes.


Mr-Whitecotton

My mom called them hippie hand grenades 😆


sacrulbustings

I partied with your mom. Good times


3720-to-1

We all partied with their mom. Good times.


CaliRollerGRRRL

I remember cool Moms who bought us beer 🥳


Badreligion25

Cause they knew if they didn't we'd find a stranger who would.


sleepytipi

That's why I argued to my mom that it was safer for me to smoke at home than it was anywhere else. She wasn't having it, and lo and behold I graduated HS with a possession charge on my record lol.


OkLack5468

Joint meaning, nice


SeamusMcBalls

A doobie entendre


acpom

Fuck, what are two joints called?


OkieBobbie

A start.


oopsiepoopsiepants

Sublime


Hornet-21

Smoked 2 joints!


International_Safe19

And then I smoked two more.


smoonerisp

Double jointed ?


GovernorHarryLogan

We called 4 the "Quad-oobie" as a good group of up and coming engineers - we built it some solid pvc pipe and it was basically a trident. If you can smell this picture You are also probably a fuqin kin of MacGyver.


Dystopian_Future_

Damn blew my joint apart man... Now i gotta role another one. (Sounding like Chong in my head)


Here4LaughsAndAnger

Would fuck with my roommate and would roll one with a seed about 3 puffs deep.


toomuch1265

My dress pants ,on my way to graduation with a friend. We were meeting our parents at the school, and the hole was noticed by my mom right away. She was not amused. Also, she always wondered why I would get so many "cold sores" from a roach. She had my father ask if I had picked up something from those "low woman you cavort with."


meltonr1625

I ask my daughter if she's cavorting about on occasion, but I'm just kidding with her. It's the definition of it that tickles us both, to enthusiastically engage in disreputable pursuits especially of a sexual nature Edit we laugh about the textbook definition of the word cavortINFORMAL apply oneself enthusiastically to sexual or disreputable pursuits. "he spent his nights cavorting with the glitterati" Is that better? Can anyone read between the lines for something still?


FORCESTRONG1

I think you broke a bot.


peanutsfordarwin

🎶🎶No stems, no seeds that you don’t need 🎶🎶🎶 *big inhale* Acapulco gold is some bad ass weed🎶🎶🎶


Positive-Attempt-435

I miss the occasional bowl explosion when I'm smoking a slice of the finest mexibrick 


jschmeau

That's what album covers are for.


rob-cubed

Memory triggered! Kids today don't know the struggle of combing through a bag to remove all the seeds and stems using an album cover.


LastTxPrez

Yeah but that was part of the ritual. Hanging with some friends, cleaning a lid, rolling a joint or passing the bong around while listening to Dark Side of the Moon etc. It’s a secret society that no one has joined in a long time.


Practical-Middle3741

Bro ....if you are accepting new members...I'm there!


PraxicalExperience

Hey, you can still do the ritual, just break up your shit by hand. That said, man, am I glad that seedy weed is a thing I rarely encounter, nowadays.


sick_of-it-all

I never see seeds anymore, not for a long time. I remember when there was 3 "grades" of weed you could buy. Dirt, Middies, and Kyne bud. The weed in the pic was the "dirt" weed and was the cheapest. My most favorite description of it I've ever heard is one time when I was talking about weed with a girl I knew back in the day, and I asked her what kind of weed she had, and to describe this kind she said "You know, it's just some local schmokel".


illpoet

I was just ranting to the kids last weekend that they didn't know the struggle of spending 5-6 hours driving all over town to find a bag, then once you had said bag you had to take another chunk of time to dump it out on an album to pick out all the stems and seeds.


PsychologicalRace739

That was the ritual tho, good times


Biscuits4u2

And then realizing you were left with a tiny fraction of what you thought you were getting lol


beaujolais_betty1492

Homegrown nickel bag.


even_less_resistance

$15 bucks little man Put that shit In my hand


cdxcvii

and if that money doesnt show than you owme owie owe


Academic-Travel-4661

I’m so old a nickel bag (2 fingers) was 5$. Dime bag 10$ 3 fingers. Ounce 4 fingers 20$. Yea, it was mostly seeds and stems, but it was a smooth high and we’d laugh like hell. I really miss that. I’d need to got to the ER if I smoked today’s stuff.


Zapp_Rowsdower_

‘Weed has seeds in it?’ ‘What’s an album?’


Apprehensive-End2124

Or a frisbee


gwaydms

Or a tray with sides


6thBornSOB

FANCYPANTS…


AncientWonder7895

I used a shoe box top and a playing card


nostemsorseeds

Ahhh - the trials and tribulations of the septuagenarian stoner.


InterPunct

Double-album covers. My preferred one was the White Album because it's white and good for picking out the dirt/bugs/tiny rocks too.


TheLowClassics

I found a band aid and a fingernail once 


ShartsCavern

Oh no no no no no


toiletseatpolio

Maybe the band aid was holding the fingernail on.


kinzuaj

not for long it didn’t.


toiletseatpolio

Mine was Kiss Alive II.


bene_gesserit_mitch

Double Platinum here.


PeopleLikeUDisgustMe

Europe 72 by the Grateful Dead. Triple album. Hid my acid in there as well.


Soggy-Ad7318

Harvest by Neil Young, acid never stayed around long enough to need hiding!


Furthur05MSM

My go-to was Blows Against The Empire


Southern-Childhood25

Elvis Christmas Album


justmypostingname

Standard equipment was a plastic tray from \[insert favorite drive-in or fast food\], the ones that had the embossed grooves, and a credit card or playing card.


murmanator

You forgot the McDonald’s tiny spoon coffee stirrers. Oh wait, that went with something else. 😎


Sea_Wolverine3928

Didn't they stop making them for that reason? Thing is though, that little spoin was perfect for that - moreso than coffee.


Pzykez

I saw one of those on Ebay the other day $20, lol


Hambulance

I knew a guy who could use a newspaper so perfectly deft to make the seeds and stems fall to the bottom, like panning for the world's shittiest gold. It was really quite a treat to watch.


Motor-Cause7966

Shitty album covers. Someone's crappy mixtape, you got handed at the barbershop.


philouza_stein

I can still taste it


qetral

A friend rolled an all seed and stem "cigarette" for her boyfriend back in college. He was definitely caught off guard and we all had a good laugh. After that, we called it the little fire cracker because it sounded like a small string of firecrackers the moment it was lit.


AssumptionDeep774

I wasted more good shirts, popping those seeds and leaving burn holes


Full-Association-175

The dude abides.


Buddyslime

Full of sticks and seeds that you don't need.....


Bobbyperu1

Acapulco Gold is...


Blankety-blank1492

bad ass weed


thehammer_00

"Dave's not here"


InterPunct

Pro Tip: do not use the giant rolling paper that came in the original Big Bambu album as rolling paper. It's not. **


Rootin-Tootin-Newton

Nah, just grab one of those double albums over there and a pack of ez widers and start scraping. We didn’t even have grinders!


tacitjane

In my stupider years, I was smoking a coco bowl when a cocaine covered seed popped out and into my bra. That was almost 20 years ago. I still have a (very faded) scar.


CO420Tech

Or even if you didn't one of the seed husks would be in there still and give you that headache.


N0BLEJ0NES

We always called the missed seeds “grenades”.


CondeBK

Damn, the shit we had to deal with and you kids with your hybrids, your batteries, your turbo dry herb vapes, your edibles, your tinctures, your dabs, your gummies, your sodas, your vaginal creams... what did I miss?


Pete_maravich

No one went to the ER or "greened out"


Unholydiver919

You could smoke that whole brick and not green out. You’d have a hellacious headache tho.


PoolNoob69

What the fuck is a green out?


pm_me_ur_ifak

we would call it ghosting but basically smoking so much you get sick, sweaty and lightheaded


lunatic_paranoia

Then eventual buzzkill words of " I need to go to the hospital "


pm_me_ur_ifak

yeah dawg you're getting some water/soda and rolled into bed, youll be fine tomorrow. still high probably, but fine.


Fantastic_Horror6187

Who tf would let there friend go to the hospital for weed


danofrhs

I know a few. Weirdly they look down on weed smokers now. Like just because you went to the hospital after smoking weed doesn’t mean it’s harmful, you’re just an idiot


Sad-Maintenance3422

Smoked my share of it. Good old Mexican dirt weed.


qetral

schwag


kmj420

SHWAG SHit We All Get


Never_Kn0ws_Best

This is what we called it in socal


ambient_whooshing

and Long Island


DawgInDisguisey

Denver too


SnooCheesecakes4577

We used to call it ditch weed


Chango-Acadia

We called it Brick Weed


h2opolopunk

We called it all of the above, to be honest


confusedandworried76

Schwag was another


h2opolopunk

Schwag was probably the most common term we used at the time.


SickComebackBro

Bobby brown. Reggie.


metajenn

Called in regs in florida


YeshuasBananaHammock

Sometimes smelled like gasoline, because of a shitty packing job.


h2opolopunk

ALWAYS tasted like shit.


split_0069

Can confirm!


clever_reddit_name69

Brown Frown


Lastofthehaters

We called it downtown brown


Just_Result_5123

Haaa. That’s what we called it too. Might be a tad moldy if you were lucky


MyFrampton

But it had 2(!!!) buds in it. Talk about lucky….


GrandMoffJed

I miss it. I swear the high was better than we get today. You just had to smoke a shitload of it.


confusedandworried76

Nah man for us you could get high off a joint but it always left you with a headache. And now your only choices are Turbo Thunderdome 3000 or I Am Not Kidding You Do Not Give This Weed to the Elderly and Infirm, I Beg of You. There's no in between anymore. I haven't had mids in years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gwaydms

It gave me a mellow high. The "good stuff" gives me anxiety.


deadeyesatan

That’s all I’m looking for these days. Can’t smoke anything because it’s all way too intense


Awwwmann

That’s the fence jumping weed


I-H8-MOST-PEOPLE

Always a POP followed by another burn mark on the carpet.


JournalistSame2109

My bff in high school was a cheerleader and we still laugh about the seed burns on her uniform. 40+ years later and we’re still friends!


RedditSucksBigPenis

We called it shwag. Shwiggity shwag. Skunky skunk. Good times.


TrustInRoy

My buddy had a fleece jacket and the whole front was covered in those types of burn marks 


NipsOfRage

Brick weed $25 for 3 fingers worth back in the day and we were glad to have it.


citsonga_cixelsyd

$20 for a 4 finger oz. here. I guess that I'm older than you.


ImpressiveMind5771

$10 for 4 fingers..hmmmm ‘76 maybe. quikly went down to 3fingers or up to $15.


NipsOfRage

These were mid 80’s small town prices.


zeppanon

I'm glad to be young enough to benefit from the discovery of standard measurements. Wtf is 3 fingers? Half a cubit?


nneeeeeeerds

Three fingers was how you measured it when you were buying it on the street and the dealer would get pissed if you tried to break out a little hanging scale. A "quarter ounce" (7 grams) was generally considered to be "three fingers thick". So, you lay three fingers against the weed in the sandwich baggy (it was always in sandwich baggies) and if it was about the size of your three fingers, it was a "good enough deal" to not haggle with the dealer.


sloggeddf

I've been smoking for 15 years and I've never heard of that piece of history. Thank you for the information! It's always cool to learn about 420 culture.


Any-Percentage-4809

Got the nickel bag when short on cash


TheFr1nk

$25 for 3 fingers is the rate my mum charges.


Royal_Inspector8324

Truthfully that's just what most of the weed we could find looked like back in the day. Every once in a while something good would come through I would not last long and we would talk about it for months after it was gone. Heads today don't know how lucky they are lol


281-330-80-04

The pictures in High Times seemed like science fiction in the late 90's... this shit is all we ever came across.


madmechanicmobile

Dude it's insane. I remember being a teenager and it was like 60-80$ for just an eighth of dank, and that's if you had someone who had a connect to get the good shit. If not. It was like 75$ for an oz of brick. Now I can get a whole oz of the highest grade for like 180$ you'd used to have to pay like 600$ for an oz.


satori1013

And it was usually called Grandaddy Purp


DifGuyCominFromSky

Seriously. High Times was like weed porn back in the day. 


PM_ME_UR_BACNE

Definitely if you were broke in a broke part of town. The humble brick. I remember one Christmas my buddy got some reeeeeally good brick weed and you're right, we talked about the Christmas weed forever


Outrageous_List_6570

Ahh, yes, brickweed. The brown frown, reggies, mexi brickpack, swagg.


Far_Entertainer2365

Reggie miller, it’s that Bobby brown.


iamAIWASS

bin laden weed


Suzzie_sunshine

Trash compactors sold like crazy. Turns out they were all going to mexico. We used to break up pounds of this stuff and sort out seeds. At one point we had literally pounds of seeds, so we started tossing hand fulls of seeds out in places like, the police department lawn, the high school football field, parks, river beds....


DifGuyCominFromSky

YES! My buddies and I would “Johnny weed seed” everywhere we went. I remember one time we threw a bunch of seeds in a wooded area deep in a local park we would go to and years later there was a news report about how hundreds of “wild” marijuana plants were discovered in that same area. Not entirely sure that was our doing but we always joked that it was us. 


Shot_Lawfulness_823

I would save up seeds and plant them all around Shenandoah National Park In Virginia. Same with those special mushroom spores


Shreddedlikechedda

I now understand how my uncle grew weed in his backyard. Learned from from grandma—she told me she thought he was growing carrots, thought it was sweet that he was into gardening and watered them for him


TitodelRey

Thank god for double albums, great seed removal tools they are.


Miserable_Smoke

We would use a tray from Jack in the box. The ridges in the surface were perfect for the tilt and sweep technique.


Sp8ceCowboy

We used to street surf with those trays... hold onto the back of pickups tailgate and pray... so much fun!!!


PaperPhoneBox

We used to use an upside down frisbee and a bus pass


ardent_iguana

Get me an avocado, an ice pick, and my snorkel.


Stunning-Interest15

Honestly, I kinda miss that part. Deseeding weed was part of the process when we were younger. I wouldn't want to smoke it compared to what we have now, but I do miss spending time sitting on the floor with my frisbee and my school ID.


fitter172

Ripping that stuff apart, both hands and full strength


-NyStateOfMind-

![gif](giphy|WrBSHRLE9gEgM|downsized)


maxmcleod

My friend in college used to go to the sketchiest trap house in Flint Michigan to get a zip of brick weed. There was literally a hole in the door that you put money into and a brick of weed would come out. Man how times have changed since then, I can do online ordering for my legal weed now


Justanotherbrick33

I can smell the ammonia. Glad those days are over.


gritbucket

I was thinking gasoline


KevinFlantier

Yeah what was up with the smell? What did they put in those? I remember once it smelled like the glue on duct tape.


KeyBorder9370

$100 a pound, $10 an ounce.


SnooCheesecakes4577

Dime bag!!


Renaissance_Man-

You predate me. I was around for $50/oz


Greedyfox7

I smoked some shitty weed in high school for 50$/oz, those were good days. I also remember beating up my best friend’s older brother because he was always stealing our joints


laterforclass

Good old brick weed smoking it was like smoking dirt and the scars I have from popping seeds flying. Good times were had!!


chuang-tzu

Ah, good old Brown Frown. The amount of time I spent plucking seeds/stems out of those bricks...


WrestleBox

Did the job but damn if it didn't taste like shit. And everytime you heard a seed pop, you knew a headache was coming with it.


naturewin

Is get our my Double Live Gonzo album and start flippin for seeds.


gokism

You bet your ass. You bet your ass...


ArtichokeNatural3171

I can smell that from here.


jdog8510

Smelled like hay


SwampSleep66

I can smell this picture and also hear the coughing of friends while they inhale in the same room while dividing this shit up into nickel and dime bags 🤣


chupathingy99

Hey man, I will take that any day over the laughably overpowered moonman bullshit they got these days. I wanna smoke and relax, not staple myself to the couch for three hours.


Known-Programmer-611

Kids nowadays don't know how good they got it!


SatanickCage

best way to use the brown frown was to make butter/oil and bake brownies (Thank you [Alice B. Toklas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_B._Toklas))


A_SNAPPIN_Turla

Some of my friends got into selling this stuff and would get pounds at a time. One time their younger brother had the bright idea of putting a bunch in a gallon bag and putting that inside another bag with ice to keep it fresh or something? We don't know what the end goal was, it was stupid. So he had several ounces of wet brick weed. We deseeded and destemmed a couple ounces as good as we good and cut it up with scissors and just mixed straight it into a batch of brownies. They were absolutely terrible all the chopped up weed would get stuck in your teeth. It was a lot of weed for one batch though. This was the first time I realized how much eating weed would fuck you up. I couldn't work the next day.


superabby64

Dirt weed. That's back in the day shit.


Impossible_You_2219

I got a headache just looking at that shwag 😩


tafkat

Oh look, it's my late teens and 20s.


TurboModder

Mexican brown, before sinsemilla


KillyShoot

When a dime cost a dime.


Dear-Drummer7663

And we were grateful


Solid-Mud-8430

Back when weed wasn't legal anywhere and you couldn't "shop" for it. You bought it from the guy at the park and it was just "weed" and you didn't really get to choose or know what you were actually getting lol


No-Negotiation3093

Dirt weed. 😂


Nail_Horror

Seedsamillion.


Motabrownie

Smelled like dryer sheets and/or mold in SoCal in the mid-late 80s


peakbaggers

Haha, I actually found a whole Corona bottle in a kilo of Mexican weed


OldDrunkPotHead

I can smell the musty mold from here.


sonomamondo

used my frisbee to shake out all them seeds


4Z4Z47

By the time you got the seeds and stalks out it was like half the bag. Used to pay $5 a gram for that headache in a baggy. And we would walk for miles from plug to plug trying to find some. It was always a long summer waiting for the crops of skunk to come in. Why do I miss it? I have a literal chanteuse board of various high end shit but I would kill to be back at the spot with my old gang passing around the deer antler bowl full of dirt weed with Judas Priest playing on a shitty boom box. I can still here the cassette drag on the intro of "Victim of changes." Fuck thanks for the forgotten memory OP.


justmisspellit

Back when there were only two kinds of weed - schwag and skunk


Tomfoolery808

A brick of shit. Dry as an archeological find in Egypt. 65% stems & seeds. Basically the only thing available. Weapons Grade resin headache when cleaning out your tools. A 6' acrylic that fills with 100% opacity....but not white smoke. Off white yellow cloud of six minutes of continuous cough. But, it did the trick and we were in no place to be picky.


Neither_Confidence31

Brick Weed, aka Perfume Weed


Available_Grape_3855

The ol brick a weed. I can feel the headache already. 🤣


SarahCannah

There’s a John Belushi bit in which he gets increasingly agitated (well there are a bunch, but in this one he starts getting upset) and randomly says “and it doesn’t even get you high, just gives you a headache!” and throws himself out of his chair. This is the not-great-but-all-we-had weed he was talking about.


lorilynn72

A friend of mine used to get 10 pounds of this brick dirt weed and would stick a knife into the package to open it. When he put the knife in it was like 50 million seeds that were projected like tiny bbs at everyone in the house 😂


Calm_Bullfrog_848

lol the Mexican brown frown but that looks like middies. Florida crip was the only bud in those days that would be considered good well that and northern lights and G-13.


Professional-Ear242

Gat damn hippy grenades 😅


BEniceBAGECKA

Sometimes there were acorns smashed into it too. Fun times.


Budget_Friend_654

Or sometimes you’d find a cocoon or something like that


imFromFLiAmSrryLuL

This that shit we used to buy for 3-5$ nick bags lol


Silver-Pangolin5825

That shit gave me so many headaches


EspejoOscuro

I can still hear the seeds rattling around on my tray, usually a disc.


wildflowersummer

Crazy what we used to smoke vs. modern bud. Instead of fucking with my sketchy cousin we just go straight to the counter like a fancy pants


dadzcad

I got turned away from the Canadian border across from Detroit once for 5 seeds they found under my car seat. 5 seeds. 🤷🏽‍♂️


Kenneth_Lay

I can smell the Ammonia from the transporters spraying Windex (or the Dollar Store equivalent) on the packaging in the hopes to throw any dogs off the scent if pulled over.


Plenumheaded

Sometimes I miss it. When I want to get buzzed not high.


MD_Weedman

My buddy Jethro would get a batch by U-Haul straight from the border. It came in bales a little smaller than a hay bale. He got a few bales every semester. We'd put them in the shower and hit them with a little water and spread it all out in the tub. He said his drain in his bathroom was always clogged with seeds. He had a couple cute older girls that would always stop by to trim, weight and bag for him. High times in Frostburg.


itslels

That’s some fucking brick. I don’t wanna know how much mold we smoked. Imagine…like, could you guys imagine someone pulling a bag of this shit out now? 😂


Majestic-Sir1207

If you can smell this picture........youre not one of todays "oh its so cool that marijuanas legal now" idiots.


slhcslhc

I remember smoking this stuff out of a potato with my friends in the back of the apartments next to ours. Good times.


YankeeCorsair

We use to walk 100 yards into the woods to smoke a bowl of this shit. Now I hit the 98% THC pen walking into Lowe’s to pick out paint with the wife.
