[/quote] In 1980 an oz of weed was $80 1/4 pound was $275 and it was usually compact like a brick, if you got that size. The hash never seemed to change price. It was $60 a 1/4 and I think it's still $60 a 1/4 difference being that back then it was red leb or blonde. you never see that hash anymore. It's only ever black. [/quote]

I was just a kid, probably in the mid- later 70s.
That's Canadian dollars too.
I use to think, 'that sure is a lot of money(.10 cent) just for a slice of cheese difference'.
Never ate the Biggie Macs so don't know the price.
I remember when chocolate bars were .10cents(and they were big full size)
12 pack case of beer was only $5 ( then one day they went up to $8 overnight) that was a huge increase I was 14 yr old.
13 oz Micky of whiskey was $5
Cheap for what booze in Canada is now by comparison.
I remember in the mid 70s a pack of smokes 25 pack was .95 cents.
I was about 8 years old and could easily walk into any store and buy a pack with a pack of matches no problem, no questions asked.
You could actually buy candes with .05 cent change.
I know some of you are older and remember cheaper prices
