A pound and a half would be 24 ounces... 24 'lids' back in the day. For a high-test toker like Willie and the boys, that's probably not more than a week's supply (figuring there are probably a total of 12 of them on the road again...) (Not that I recommend the stuff. Haven't had a toke 20 years and am glad of it. I think the stuff robs you of your ambition. Darned fun though. ;-)

I also hear the stuff has gotten a lot more potent over the years. I guess it could be a pretty big stash considering the increased bounce per ounce.

In the city in which I live, being caught with a personal quantity of marijuana gets you a little ticket. (Or you throw the stuff away and you don't get the ticket.) It was a big deal here a few years ago when they raised the fine from $5 to $15. One one hand, that seems right. After all, you can go into any liquor store here and buy enough booze in one shot to make yourself become a lethal weapon. On the other hand, grass IS a problematic habit for a number of users. Why do you think they call it "dope"? I wish Willie the best.

Mixing the weed with drops of sherm, knol or other liquified drugs as it is drying makes it very dangerous.

By the time I had to see him do it again a year or so later with the same introduction to it as if this was the first time he ever sang it, not so much.
Originally Posted By DAR I imagine the band and even Toby have to put on a good front to enjoy singing and playing the song too.
