re "lid" ..I just found this ..
I Quote:
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 approximately [sic] 1 oz, the lid was 1/8 oz. The term came from the practice of breaking up a brick (a kilo or later a key) of tightly packed marijuana and storing and selling it in Price Albert tobacco cans. A can held approximately [sic] one ounce. the lid would hold approximately [sic] 1/8 oz. No one weighed it really, it was all done by eye . . .
