Proper Cannabis Storage
Storing medicinal quality marijuana correctly keeps it fresher longer. Its up to you to protect your precious pot from natural enemies, such as mold, humidity and exposure to light. By Danny Danko
Nothing beats a freshly cured batch of sticky buds, perfectly ripe and ready to smoke or vaporize. The problem is that, over time, that same stash can go bad in a number of different ways. How you approach this process and choose to stash your stash will be the difference in whether youre still enjoying those same nugs months down the road.
Cheap plastic sandwich bags are no place to keep your medicine. First of all, the buds will get crushed with any movement of the bag in your pocket, bookbag or purse. This creates a powdery mess of shake at the bottom of the bag and breaks apart the flowers youre hoping to keep intact.
Also, odors permeate easily out of plastic baggies, even sealable ones. Aside from the issue of security and stealth, this permeation is also indicative of your buds losing scents and flavors, both obvious and subtle, to the air.
If odors are getting out, that means moisture is released as well, resulting in dried out buds that lack flavor and burn harsh and unevenly. A small amount of moisture is essential to long term cannabis storage and buds that dry out completely taste unpleasant as well as being less potent.
Envelopes and tin foil have no place in cannabis storage. Never.

(52,259 posts)6. Large quantities are best stored in vacuum sealed packs/bags.
Make sure no moisture is in it or mold will grow and destroy it.

They smashed the flowers too much for my liking.
I have bud over two years old in mason jars and Boveda packs.Still good.
