Yeah, we used to call those compressed blocks of pot 'bricks'. Once trash compactors came out, they used them to form them. The pot was a mix of male and female plants, including small stems and seeds. Nowdays, all the pot is female sinsemilla ( seedless). In the old days, the pot was wildly variable. Some was strong, some was weak, most were somewhere in between. Now, it's ALL very strong, scientifically bred to be so. My economics worked like this, I'd buy (or get on credit) a $100 pound of pot, make it into 16 1 OZ 'lids', that I'd sell to friends for $10 apiece. 10 covered my cost, 5 were my profit, and 1 was mine to smoke. It was a sideline for me, I always had a regular job as well. A buddy of mine that I bought from often went into smuggling pot up from Mexico. After a time, he used small planes. At one point, he actually went down to where they grew the pot, and taught the Mexicans there how to grow sinsemilla, and how to trim it to be able to sell it for a higher price. The Mexicans he taught didn't even speak Spanish, they spoke a native tongue. After that, all his pot was more expensive, but MUCH better than before. Instead of putting the pot in baggies as I had done before, I put long 'tops' with many beautiful buds in long plastic bags that I would vacuum heat seal with one of these: For a while, I had the best pot around!
