FYI: Anyone REMEMBER the term LID?
I do from way back when.....From the Late 1960's to the 1970's.
Here is what I found on Wiki-Answers
Question:
Where did the phrase Lid of marijuana originate?
Answer:
Lid, a Baggie, an Ounce
The term 'lid' of marijuana goes back to the 60's. Back then you could buy a 'lid' or a 'can' of pot.
The can was aproximatley 1 oz, the lid was1/8 oz.
The term came from the practice of breaking up a brick (a kilo or later a key) of tightly packed marjijuana and storing and selling it in Price Albert tobacco cans.
A can held approximatelyone ounce.
The lid would hold aproximatley1/8 oz. No one weighed it really, it was all done by eye. By the time I was in high school in the early 70's the term can had gone away and the term lid referred to an ounce.
The term nickel or dime bag was still used in the 70s too. But by that time the amount of pot in the nickel ($5) or dime ($10) would vary - though the price was still $5 or $10.
But; if you bought a 'baggie', it would contain an ounce and the price would vary.
In the 60's a bag was a bag was a can was an ounce and the price for the ounce was 5 or 10 depending on quality.
I don't know if there were 7 dollar bags or 8 dollar bags. Yeah so go buy some okay.

Personally from experience of watching people
way back when to be Paranoid or Depressed was due to their State-Of-Mind.
NOTE: I edited some of the spelling errors that I could find. I am not an expert speller so I may have missed some. (I have an 'idea' as to why this person that wrote this misspelled so many words)
