a lid was how much weed would fit in the ‘lid’ or top of your Marlboro box. Nobody had scales.

No, it was how much fits in an old Prince Albert Tabacco can.

"Lid" was slang for ounce.

Urban Dictionary: lid
(Noun; 1960s slang) The quantity of marijuana that will fit in a flat Prince Albert pipe tobacco can (a "lid"). It originally held 1-1/2 oz of moister, denser tobacco, so it would hold about 1 oz of dope. If you are too young to remember, you can google image for ( Prince Albert can ).

Who gives a fuck
Now that's what i always heard too, padawan. I even have one of those PA cans somewhere, I think.
Yanno, skitch, I don't think cigs came in boxes back in the mid to late '60s. So that, maybe ain't it.
I remember tho, it wasn't long until you'd buy uhmm...an ounce and then there was a 3/4 oz, too.
Like unga bunga says here:
But then it wasn't long, maybe the late 70s, early 80s, you'd buy eightballs, quarters,
but heck, i don't remember, really. That stuff i got in the late 60s was always OZ's. Or, I think
u could buy joints for like a dollar. Hell, i don't remember, sheeit. This is decades back. As i
think back, a lid was an oz, but then it changed to 3/4 oz, or you could buy an oz. and 3/2 oz
was a lid and an oz was an ounce, i think.. Matchboxes, for like 5 bux, they had. You'd open it and 3/4 of it was stems. LMBO
And seeds! What about seeds? Jeeze, some of the best damn weed i ever smoked had seeds back then.
Never heard of female plants, or sensimilla back then. No such thing as Afghan or indica. I must've all
been sativa. And seeds and stems, galore. And buds? I don't think i ever saw a real bud until HT magazine
came out. It was all compressed, and OD green shit. Flat buds packed with seeds and stems. And lots
of leaf, called shake. Hell, it was ten years or more before I found out it's the buds that was the good
stuff. Boy, am I ramblin' nostalgic now, wow, man...Then, late 70s, and 80s, Mexican dirt weed. That's
all there was. I first tried real skunk back in 83 or so. Yeah, I was lagging behind back then. That shit
was pretty good. I had been on a 3 yr dry spell, and took a hit off of some skunk, one hit, man was i high.
Yeah, there was thai, panama, colombia, thai stick was the only thai (pronounced "tie" and not "thigh",
Ex-Pres Trump) i ever had. Got my share of thai stick. Which was spendy as hell, all wrapped with string
around a fuggin' bamboo stick. I always wondered wtf is this for? Ahh, well, i'm goin' back so far I don't
even remember w-ever-tf i did back then. Now it is all a haze, a smoke-filled haze.

What did you guys call it? We always called it bud. So when we'd ask anyone we'd say "Hey you got any bud?", 
.

Lol.. stoner!
I ain't high at all, promise. This is a natural. An' i dunno if that's good or bad, tell ya the truth.
Hey are we hijacking this here thread here? Or is RIU not so restrictive as some boards I visit?
I noticed RIU don't seem to have too many roolz infractions and such. You can post pix w/o
uploading them to an image host first, and the like. Links are okay, live or not, i seem to notice.
I am fairly new here, a month into membership, and have i read RIU's board rules, yet? No, but
don't tell them, okay, please?

One of the guys in my crew is a tad bit older than me. He bought Skunk #1 and Kali Mist back in the 90's (I think it was the 90's anyway) mail order style from Nevile. Sent cash and everything overseas and like a month later got his seeds. So much respect here for those that grew back then and the BS they had to go through just to score some seeds.
