A small correction: "kine bud", not "kind bud".
Yeah, I've heard it both ways - I don't know what the original origin of that term is.
The answer is actually in the question. The questioner is accustomed to paying $10 for one gram. There was a time when the traditional "dime bag" was 1/10th ounce, or nearly three grams. The $10 price point has "stuck," but the grocery shrink ray strikes all products. Remember when a $1 candy bar was twice today's size?
When I was a kid in the mid-70's a "lid" cost $25. A lid was a pound of weed. Both the quality and cost shot up in the next decade. Disclaimer: I don't smoke pot, so this is second hand smoke, so to speak. But, there were so many hippies around where I grew up that I literally thought patchouli was what people smelled like when then hadn't bathed in a week.

Kine is a hawaiian words that translates to "the one". It is used to express like or show praise towards something or someone. The term has been popularized in the continental United States in reference to potent Cannabis.

Highest rated urban dictionary definitions for "Kind Bud" also state and correct this common mistake.
This doesn't make sense because it's not true. I was an avid pot smoker in my college days (long time ago, now) and even over the relatively small span of a 3 year time period I paid everything for a quarter-ounce (~7 grams) from $10 ("ditch weed") to $400 (REALLY good stuff from Cali or Colorado). So I'm not sure what he's talking about with the $10/gram thing being some benchmark that's lasted decades. I know that'…

I'm pretty sure a lid was an ounce. A pound for $25 is too low, during the 70s. That's enough for a High schooler to smoke 1 1-gram joint everyday for 2 school calendar years on just a couple of days worth of lunch money.
A slice being an 1/8th of an ounce (as in a slice of pizza)
An elbow being a pound (as in 1 lb)

Is cannabis routinely cut, as hard drugs are? I can't imagine it would be terribly hard to find similarly-burning vegetation to dilute the amount of product in a fixed-weight bag at a level undetectable to the average buyer.
No, that's one of its advantages. It's pretty much impossible to "cut" it. This is what a cannabis bud looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Macro_cannabis_bud.jpg You can't just throw some similarly looking vegetation in there without the buyer noticing. You could throw in low-grade hemp, but that's just as hard to grow, so it's of no benefit to the dealer. One thing you can do is to not dry it. The moisture…

I am not sure about that. Shouldn't low-grade hemp be cheaper in areas where it can be grown legally? After all, the risk of losing a harvest to law enforcement is lower.
