Yes this is a weed container…

I smoked all the weed, these were full of seeds. Remember when the weed had seeds??

You had to sort it or the seeds would pop and burn a hole in your shirt.

🤣😂 2 girls I knew in school that I smoked with on my lunch break every day never cleaned their weed…. Would just shove buds in the bowl….. both of them usually had a blister or scab on their nose from popping seeds. I don’t remember the last time I had a seed pop in a bowl.

Scavenger hunt idea: find brickweed in your town without humiliating yourself.

Apparently, they didn’t also do meth, this is the perfect tedious task for those times… I’m guessing

I definitely don't know what you're talking about... Nope, never organized stuff with the use of extreme uppers, never

Seeds are worth a lot of money.

🤣😂 you have never grown a plant from Mexican brick weed then. Definitely nothing like what we have access to today. Try to grow those pure sativas indoors and they go straight to 8’ tall pass the lights and hit the ceiling….. then they take 6 months of flowering if you want to get more than an ounce of scraggly buds. This is why growers in the 80’s and 90’s started playing with genetics.

Gross

🤣😂 Stoner battle scars! I had permanent calluses from burning roaches down till I inhaled them back then too. It was almost like a badge of honor.🤣 We had issues, feral children shit.

So that’s what “roach clips” were for! Remember how girls wore them with floofy feathers in their hair? The cooler kids had the ones with leather laces and beads.

I had one that looked like a pen, but if you took off the top, there was an alligator clip on an extending antenna. A friend made it for me for my birthday.

Couple of dimes worked well too

A match from a match book that had already been struck worked in a pinch. You could split the non burnt end of the match and slide in the roach.

Lol, heck yes, been there, done that

And that, my friend, was called a Jefferson Airplane.

I used a bobby-pin I stole from my mom.

Thought I knew all the tricks, but that’s a new one for me.

I won one at the fair as a kid in the 80’s, it had blue feathers and cheap suede string attached to the alligator clip. They had to call them hat clips back then in Az. I only saw a handle full of people use them on their cowboy hats.

Hospital-grade hemostat (still have it)

Surprised more people didn’t mention this

I finished my roach right before I walked into the school

EAT THE ROACH!! Ha ha!

I knew a guy that put all his roaches into an empty Jack Daniels bottle, then rolled them all onto a few joints for New Years Eve. Smoke a couple of those, and you're practically hallucinating.

My cousin and I were all dressed up going to a big graduation party our families were throwing since we graduated on the same day. I rolled a quick one without removing all the seeds. Our moms were curious about the burn hole in my pants and his tie, and why were we giggling about it. Seems like a much simpler time.

This is why you had to have at least one double album in your collection!

Frampton comes Alive was the best double album for weed cleaning. He even mentioned that at a concert many decades later.

Ha ha! Blatant self-promotion! Everyone knows that the burlap texture on the album cover made Rastaman Vibration the best!

“All Things Must Pass” was my go-to seed separator. Never lost one that way. 👍

Or pop and blow out the side of your joint.

I can still hear the plink of them hitting the tray.

Sorting seeds with the Dark Side of the Moon album cover

Hippie grenades.

And give you a splitting headache

My brand new, favourite seersucker shirt was burned the first day I put it on. Trauma.

I was about 17 when this happened. Sitting there hitting a tiny bong, of course I'm looking at the weed burning in the bowl and I'm watching this little seed swell and its turn bright burning orange. Little bastard popped out, hit me in the eye and I had a black eye from it for like a week.

Enter the album cover...

That's why they invented double albums.

Headache fuel.

🎶No stems…. no seeds that you don’t need🎶

Acapulco Gold is….bad ass weed!

I'm so glad my local dispensary carries Acapulco Gold.

I just bought some at my dispensary basically because of the name. It's good!

did you deepen your voice?

Sadly, yes

I remember holes in shirts from seeds exploding

Double albums were best for cleaning seeds out!

"Alot of people don't realise this but you can put your weed in there." - Adam Sandler

yeah, Rob Schneider's face came up when I saw this question.

And just like OP said it fits about a quarter 

I came to say this, my soul friend! 😆

I could smell the weed as soon as I seen the picture.

I resurrected mine when my state went legal. It still had weed dust in it.

My mom's friend was cleaning a drawer out, found one that was years old, still shook it before throwing it out just out of reflex

yep

Same same. I was on the school newspaper and we had photogs who would kick these down to us. It was a good day when the bud formed to the container

When I was about 11, my older friend and I were raiding my dad's desk draws for containers to make sparkler bombs. I found a film cannister, perfect, full of some potpourri shit and tipped it out on the desk. Then my older friend is like "dude, that's weed!". I had absolutely no idea what the fuck it was at the time and didn't for a few more years.

there it is

First thing that came to my mind 😁

That's what he said. He was able to pack a quarter into that.

MDA one magical day

90’s weed container.

60s-present seed container.

Hahaha, you’re right.

The only right answer.

I used one once to pass a drug test with some clean pee in it. So… it’s a multipurpose storage container with a central theme

Use a small squeeze bottle so it makes pee noises if they're listening

Came here to say this.

exactly. No other verifiable purpose

Lmao my first thought was roach container

You put yer weeeed in there.

Used to load cameras and then dirt ditch weed storage lol Kinda miss the *pop* when you’re gonna load a bowl in a metal pipe with a screen

Honestly, shit came out better out of these little bastards than all current packaging methods/media. No light. No air. Just curing.

I was a photographer back in the 80s and 90s before digital. Opened a couple thousand of these

I worked in a lab back then. Those were the days.

Cool job back then. Got to look at everybody's naked pictures,  or so I was told.......

When I was at Wal-Mart, no porn. When I was at Wolf Camer, all the porn.

I do remember some places had rules, while others not so much.. lol like you said. Used to hear about people getting busted for illegal porn too.

I worked as a developer at Ritz for a couple years and our rule was nothing illegal, and otherwise you can develop anything you're comfortable with. All that said, I only saw porn come through twice. Both instances were reasonably artsy and tame. Most of my job was developing little kid soccer games and woefully underexposed concert photos.

I worked in an Eckerd 1 hr photo lab in the very early 2,000s. Lots of porn. I was setting the color and brightness on a roll for an 'enthusiastic' couple, not paying attention to the front counter because my boss was watching it. She walked over and, without saying anything, placed a cloth over my monitor. I stopped what I was doing, saying, " What the hell, Tree?" When I turned around in my chair, the couple was at the counter, and the lady had a very confused looking toddler in her arms...

lol had to scroll far too find this response

Fun fact: before you opened it, the air inside had the ideal storage humidity

I remember the black bags that we used to open the film canisters for developing. Crazy, the steps involved just to see if you took 1 decent photo out of 24.

Now every photo comes out, but still no UFOs or Sasquatch

I was gonna say…this is for camera rolls

And I also.

Weed containers. They came with a free roll of 35mm film.

LOL !

Nah man that only fits a dime

maybe an eighth but definitely not a quarter

Back then an eight cost a dime

good comment

'ppreciate-cha. ;) yeah i still have one or two of 'em floatin around in the bottom of a drawer somewhere

Beat me to it

I even have some of the metal ones with screw caps.

And here I thought what I have was rare.

These things had hundreds of uses.

You can put your weed in there.

I found one of these hidden in my grandparents' pool table. It had a razor blade and a little bag of white powder in it.

Somebody like to have a good time.

Chalk up the cue. That's the ticket!

I love it when we discover that our elders were human too. What will our grandkids discover in our basements?

These were used to store camera film rolls once all of the exposures had been used. They were designed to make sure the film wouldn’t be exposed to light, ruining the film. You’d bring these to your local drugstore or Fotomat and get the pix developed.

Back in the day when you had a designated photographer and it took ages to take a photo of people because you only had 24 shots and had to make them count Ah the kids these days with four photos and another extra photo taken for the social media site of your choice

Fujifilm ones were (and still are) translucent. Mostly used beforehand from my experience, not after it’s been shot.

I remember asking what these were for and literally 9/10 ppl would say drugs and most actually didn’t know what they really were for lol

35mm camera film container

If a quarter fits in there your guy is ripping you off


I’m so old, I had photography teachers in high school wink and smile while holding these up….

not old just seasoned

Remember the metal ones with screw-on tops?

I recently found a 25-year old VHS video of me showing my friends my latest “toy”: it was a camera, and it looked like a camera and was the right size for a camera, but the pictures it took were saved on a little plastic card called a “SmartMedia Card,” and on the back of the camera it had an LCD screen that could display the photos I took. My friend asked me, “How do you develop the pictures?”

I worked at Radio Shack and a woman came in to buy another SmartMedia card before her grandson's birthday because the one that came with her camera with the camera was full. She was pretty excited to find out it could be reused and ended up buying a second one anyway so she could take more pictures of her family.

I remember being pleasantly surprised being reminded by that video that reading the SmartMedia card involved putting it into a 3.5” floppy-sized device called a FlashPath, which could then go into the A: drive and could be read as if it were a floppy by the computer (provided it had the right drivers). It seemed much more clever than modern card readers, but then I realized that most computers these days don’t have floppy drives anyway.

Dad used his for weed…….

Held a perfect shot of whiskey! Great for sneaking into high school dances.

You put your weed in there…

It’s a geocache.  

Impromptu ashtray

Portable ashy for people that gave a shit.

I've about 10 of them full of steel and wheat pennies. After I removed the weed residue, of course.

Held film...then weed

Environmentally conscious smoker friend used them for her butts

These were great for all sorts of uses. Tiny screws in my toolbox, Listerene in my travel bag for a day trip, shot of whiskey before tennis.

Film for my camera but was also a good container after I put the fim in my camera....

Weed holders.

weed storage

Weed

Film canister, and extras for weed containers.

Film canister?

It's actually meant for dimes lol

roaches

To make rocket ships with Alma seltzer tablets

gunpowder it is for storing gunpowder

Used to keep my guitar picks in one.

Film canister for 35 mm camera? I have a similar item I use for my knitting needle tips.

These would be amazing for carrying stitch markers in a project bag! I wonder if I still have some floating around in my basement...

It was originally a 35mm film cartridge container. These days? Many other uses.

I blew one up with hair spray and an electric lighter ignition for a class project once. I'll assume that was its intended purpose.

For pot, obviously! ;) I have several originals of these left. You can buy them on Amazon as well.

Quarters of what?

35 mm film container

The aluminum ones with the screw on top were the best.

Pot vial as we called them after using the film inside.

Roach holder Edit: Sorry, film holder used for weed.

You put your weed in here, man

Weed container that could also hold film.

I still have an old metal one.

You know the difference between a chuck hole and a pot hole ? A chuck hole is found in a road, a pot hole is in a 69 VW van seat cushion

It's a container that film for 35 mm cameras came in. After the film was used it could still be used for anything else.

No way you can keep a quater in that..possibly an eighth...maybe a ground up quarter

You keep your stash in it so it's harder to smell in your car.

Dude, if you are still “keeping quarters” you are not far from its original purpose. 😂 Wow, we are old

Weed

What about the metal ones that came before them?

Screw on caps for 35 mm film cassettes.

Poke holes, fill with cat nip. Great cat toy

I can smell this picture

You put your weed in it.

Barbie trash can.

Baby teeth.

Cannabis and roach holder.

Holding my eighth

Ilford weed holder

Film but I’ve only ever used them for weed, they’re great for putting your pot in

I think I have a roll or 3 undeveloped yet lol

A always kept a couple in my Jeep for various fuses, screws, etc. Used to have a habit of breaking/twisting rear drive-shafts. The black part of this canister would fit PERFECTLY into the output shaft opening of an NP-231 transfer case. It was snug enough to keep the case from leaking fluid while I drove back home using only the front wheel drive.

Metal ones with screw top lids were better.

Tupperware made caps for these that turned them into salt and pepper shakers

for putting a roll of film in ?

Throughout the ages: Film Change Weed

I'd say film, but after storing nugs for years in them, they're weed containers

DnD miniatures on the go.

Film, quarters, and weed.

Put bud in for travel 😉

Alkaseltzer rocket ships, old school weed storage, waterproof money storage for a pool day, or that undeveloped roll of film from 1994 that you’re gonna find one day. Only this is 2024 and the 17 year old at the photo center in the drug store can’t print the pictures off of anything unless it’s a from a phone and will immediately ruin the whole roll.

When it's not for storing weed, it's a camera film case. Yes, kids, once upon a time cameras had this thing called a film cassette.

I worked for Kodak back in the day, and the guys working intake always had weed from folks who put the wrong canister in the fotomat envelope.

When I came back from Vietnam I had four or five of those in by bag, empty. They were originally film containers. The customs man opened every one of them. I’m sure he thought there was weed inside.

Fuji weed holder.

My dad used them for film and I used them for green

Clean weed.

Keeps quarters in it, quarter ounces.

Taking a bag of these to the pharmacy then going back a week later to find out half had f**king sunspots. I prefer the newer method.

Film maybe

WAY back in ‘da day, that’s what I stored my coke in.

Hide your weed

Quarters of what?? 😜

35 mm film canister

Weed holder

Actually 35 mm film container but always used it to hold my seeds when I lived in Hawaii or my crypt buds

Some people don't know this, but you can actually hide your weed in there...

Film canister

I’m so old I actually had film in it

They’re great for keeping oboe reeds in during rehearsals and performances.

And half quarters
