back in high school the variety of different grades of weed around town was much greater than it is now.
we used to be able to get low grade medium grade and high grade weed, the low grade was that mexican schwap and the high grade was often medical brought in from cali.

Also in my day oz's were 10-40 bucks and they were called "4 finger bags" or just "a bag of smoke". I don't think anyone weighed it that I know of they just stuffed it in a baggie and held it up to their 4 fingers, LOL and it was "columbian" "columbian gold", panama red, oaxacan. Then hawaiin (puna bud to be exact) came along and so forth and prices/amounts went to "quarters" and those were 20 to 50 depending on the type of weed. A match box was 5 bucks, also bought "dimes" of weed in a baggie, could get maybe 5 pinners out of those. Joints were a buck or 2. Started smoking in 77-79.
Wish I could find the good old "columbian/columbian gold" seeds or the puna bud, or maui wowie hawaiin seeds, I really miss the old time "skunk weed" stuff. It was super pungent and had giant seeds. *SIGH*

You guys got taken if you had to smoke ounces and pounds of the stuff to get "a little" high.
Lol. If it's "pretty good" ... it's not Schwag.
Schwag is bottom of the barrel mexican dirt weed. Not properly cured, most likely bricked and not potent at all.
Taken? We were getting pounds of Schwag in high school for like $250. This was like 15 years ago mind. You could get high from it... but not very, especially since we were chronic potheads. We'd sit down in a big group and just chain toke. We could blow through an ounce between five of us in a night easy. You can only get so high off schwag in my experience. Anything beyond and you are just smoking to smoke and getting a headache. But we had pounds of it so what did we care.
I'll take my top shelf buds any day of the week. Two hits and I'm high, regardless of my tolerance. Don't need to sit there and smoke an eighth in one sitting to get a moderate buzz.

I had a good Brick weed connection about 6 years back and was able to get pounds for $200-250. Granted, it was the lowest you could go. So compressed it was basically dirt. Unsmokable tbh. 
I used it for cooking though, and it worked well for that purpose (mixed well with brownies using lots of cocoa). I only had that connection for 6 months or so, and I haven't seen brick weed since.

shit was 100-150lb for me and some of it was really good. My motto was, if it's brown, turn it down, if it' green it's good to go!. I have had some seedy, stemmy, green brickweed that was great. But like I said, I was smoking on the late 70's and up. I saw prices that will NEVER come back.

I'm sure personal tolerance has a lot to do with it, which may be your case. But to say schwag cannot be good, and it's not at all potent is just ridiculous.
Sure, it's not gonna be "top shelf bud" potent, but a joint/bowl of some proper schwag will have me chill for hours.
That high grade stuff can be too heavy for me sometimes. I personally favor the cheap stuff.

Its called schwag for a reason haha. Its dry leafy usually full of seeds and stems and brown in a lot of cases haha. Gotta smoke a G joint to even feel shit from it.
Tolerance does play a big factor as well as personal preference and what you're looking for in the stone.

Ohh now that I reread some of these posts, I don't think I've had legit schwag. Just bad weed we would call "mids" that would be like 5-10 a gram. It's funny thinkin back on all those names though, mersh, mids, beasters, headies, skunk

When I have no tolerance to weed a small bong pack of schwap will get me high.
Ive def had different types of schwap over the years and yes some is worth than others, the best of the batches even had a little bit of kief.

I think you are talking about mids....
Schwag is/was always trash. Almost always mexican bricked weed. I haven't even seen it for 10+ years but we used to go through that shit by the pound just because it was so cheap.
Yeah sure it can get you buzzed, but I don't think I've ever been actually BLAZED off schwag in my life.
The actual definition of schwag is low potency. That's kinda what defines it.... it sucks. May have been ok weed to begin with, but the way it was cured (usually flash cured)... and then compacted into bricks and packaged, kills the majority of the potency.
Tolerance played a factor for sure.... but even with no tolerance, I'd have to smoke a gram or more of that shit to the dome to catch a halfway decent buzz. Schwag resembles dirt when broken up. Fulls of stems and seeds usually, crumbles into what looks like dirt... tastes like dirt. We always called it dirt weed if not schwag.
Mids are going to be higher quality buds.. not top shelf... not schwag.. but somewhere in between and will get you plenty toasty. Even if something looked like schwag but had a decent taste and got you pretty chilled out and toasty, we no longer called it schwag. If it was potent enough to get you decently high off a few hits then it was mids. At least from my neck of the woods where I grew up... schwag means low quality, low potency, shitty dirt weed. If it wasn't low potency... then it's not schwag.

Alright man, if you insist. Some of the stuff I get could pass for mids, and may be. Most of it is the compressed, full of stems and seeds stuff.
Don't have such a shallow mind about regional smokage and be more open to the fact that I might be smoking better schwag than you did.
