What is a Thai Stick?

When I started smoking it went by the finger measure . An oz of average smoke was $20 and was about 4 fingers high in a baggie. A lid was 3 fingers , a dime 2 , and a nickel 1 .

The old classic strains like Columbian Gold and the like went for $30-40 .

I guess growing up in TX, we had lower prices due to proximity from the border. The price for a "4-finger lid", as we called it, was $10, and the good stuff like you mentioned was $20. Man, those names! Colombian Redbud, Acapulco Gold, Oaxacan, La Michoacán, Hawaiian Gold, etc. brings back many fond memories.

Hey all, there's a great read out there called The Cornbread Mafia: A Homegrown Syndicate's Code of Silence and the Biggest Marijuana Bust in American History. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in some little-known cannabis history from the late '80s.
