remember that mexican grown dirt weed that peeps used to get back in the day?.. no?.. well anyway i finally stumbled on to some after so many years. it just like disappeared off the face of the earth, probably cuz of demands for higher grades and because weed was legalized for medicinal purposes. anyway i know it gets alot of hate, but i had a lot of fun smoking it back in the day, and haven't had it in a long time, probably since i started smoking weed, and everything about it, the smell, the taste, is just so nostalgic.

I got some after being spoiled by good bud for a long time. It was cheap and I figured why not, how bad could it be.
I couldn't smoke the shit. It tasted like ass and gave me headaches and was way too harsh. I was never a snob when it came to weed. I smoked stems when I had enough and didn't really care much. I looked forward to having enough resin in my pipes for a couple of bowls when I inevitably ran out. But after getting used to decent shit, there's just really no going back.
I had to turn that shit into edibles and it didn't really do much for me. I probably wouldn't even take the shit if it was free unless it was like pounds of it or something. Because it's just not worth the effort for anything less.

I totally understand the appeal and to each his own. I just can't do more than a minute or so of jam bands. At least nothing that I've ever been shown. While I may have different opinions on the song writing ability within that genre I'm not so blind I can't appreciate the musical talent put forth. Definitely would not pay for it is all.

there;s just something about weed that gets grown out in an open field, like a big farm, just out in the open, 100% vitamin D, no pesticides or crazy contraptions, just good ole fashion mother nature.
then there's the way it is handled, like fruit that gets picked straight out of a tree, like an apple, ready to eat. It is picked, stuffed into a bag and immediately processed, which is then attached to the back of a mexican who carries it on foot across the dangerous mexican desert into the usa..

But you have to smoke 5x as much to get a quarter as high? It's not really saving money when you think about it. What you are talking about sounds like mids though, not schwag. Schwag is basically dirt with a tiny bit of THC.

yah, schwag is mexican dirt weed, while mids (one step up) is typically outdoor weed that had a "mid-decent" quality to it, nothing special but semi-decent.

I'm guessing a 10er would be a dime bag? $10 worth?
This is how I remember it, it's been a long time since I've bought a nickel or dime bag though so I could be off.
A nickel bag (1-2g) was $5.
A dime bag (3.5-5g) was $10.
A quarter (7g) $20.
A half (14g) $25
1 oz (28g) $40-50

Its funny I will ask for an eighth or a quarter and people are like "uh, I dont know how to make deals for that" hahaha So many people around here just get singles or 5gs at the most haha. I like grabbing 1/4 for the week usually sometimes a half bag.

It really just depends on the seller. My nickel bags "back in the day" always seemed to be more than just a gram or two, but I never used a scale back then.

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*

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.

Shroomism said: 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.
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.
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.

I comprehend just fine 
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schwag
Quote:
Top Definition schwag adj. Term used to describe low grade marijuana. This type of marijuana is usually brown, seedy, dry. The term is also used by many pot heads to describe anything that is low grade. noun. low grade marijuana adj- Ewww this schwag ass weed tastes horrible and it didnt get me very high. noun- I hate smoking schwag, but i cant get any dank right now so i guess i'll have to. by PotHead April 28, 2003
Quote:
schwag Cannabis of very, very low potency and quality, usually harvested too early or too late in the growing cycle. Schwag is stereotypically associated with marijuana that comes from Mexico, pressed into bricks to facilitate easy transportation across the border. It is very cheap and very unhealthy, as much more is smoked to achieve a high than higher potency marijuana.
Unlike sensimilla, schwag is loaded with seeds and THC-bearing crystals are nowhere to be seen. The potency of schwag is so low that it often does not even smell like weed.
Some varieties are called dirt for their sheer resemblance to compost. In fact, any high that comes from smoking schwag only comes after smoking very large amounts.
Also known as catnip, shwag (alternate spelling), shit, and other demeaning terms. That schwag wouldn't get a fly high.
Often enough, high schoolers are duped by dealers into buying schwag under the impression that it is kb.
A pound of schwag only costs me $50!
Quote:
schwag Poor quality brown marijuana. The cheapest variety available, the least potent. Also sometimes jokingly referred to as schwiggity-schwags or even schwaggles. Schwag is the antithesis of kind bud. !
The end.

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.
don't be so sure of that. one to two year old weed, if even able to be sold, often fetches 500-800/lb. for what was once top quality bud. the market is abysmal right now, people depping year round, 10,000 plants on a 40acre parcel.
the CA market needs co-ops and price control/gradation. as with most non-subsidized agriculture and infinite supply, prices plummet = buyer's market
in 10 years, an average pound has gone from $4k to ~1000-1600 depending on who one knows. dep used to command 1800-2400 just in the last 1-3 years. currently, dep is ranging from 1300-1800, which will in turn affect the price of full-term

Will always appreciate some good shwag it's sorta novelty for me growing up with it. And I've had some of the best of the best weeds. Good shwag is light green, few seeds, buncha crystals, an has a great smell despite being compressed.

schwag is basically weed that is grown in mexico, or somewhere in south america, and is trafficked through the border into the usa. that is why the quality was always so shitty, because people had to bring it on their backs across the hot mexican deserts, and by the time it made it to the us it had compressed into a brick.
sometimes you got good schwag, and sometimes it was so dark it was almost black and smelled like gasoline cuz the traffickers didnt seal the bags very well when they stuffed em in the gas tank.. (it happened once)..
schwag doesn't have to be complete shit to be considered schwag.. schwag CAN be considered good..

It's packed in bricks before they ship it.. By definition though... schwag is shitty low potency dirt weed. If it's good... it's not really schwag.. at least in my book and many others. I don't understand what's so hard to understand.

I don't understand how you acknowledge the fact that your opinion isn't the only one, and then not understand why some of us don't agree with you.
If "good schwag" is "midgrade". Then "midgrade" can be "good schwag". We're just splitting hairs at this point.
Schwag as I know it.

I don't think I've ever tried weed from Mexico to my knowledge. A few times I've had weed said to be from Jamaica that was really compressed and looked like dirt, but actually tasted great and was quite strong.

It was actually pretty good too, never encountered anything like it since

Schwag basically starts off as mid grade weed. It is in a sense, mid grade weed, but it is obviously much more than that, it has a history, it's seen some shit, and it has a story to tell.

We used to call that board weed. Since how its shipped is shaped like boards haha. It was usually mid grade stuff or dirt. Sometimes it would be some pretty good kush tho that was rare.

I actually really enjoyed some mexi-brick. Used to get some super fresh, super green sticky tasty stuff with barely any seeds in the late fall and winter. It wasn't the most potent bud around but it was solid and was a nice, unique sativa buzz. There was a lot of garbage as well but shit like this for around $600 a pound was a bargain. Wish I could still find some like that.

in new york back in the 90's i used to have access to alot of different grades of imported ganja and in the terminology of that time it worked like this: there was schwag, then regs then mids then high grade. schwag sucked, regs was okay, mids was decent and the high grade could be pretty nice. it might not have been quite as strong as the indoor ganja nowadays but it had alot more character to it. i was still smoking mids up until a year ago but now i can get better deal on kind bud. it might cost twice as much per ounce but it's four times as potent.

I had a dime of reggie for the first time in a long time just a few days ago. I usually cant even find the stuff but I found it when I was down in Lawton the other day. It really is nostalgic to smell that stuff. Good weed smells completely different.
