With legalization becoming more of a reality in some states, marijuana grows larger. This means your bud is fresher than ever when you get it from dispensaries or dealers.
How do I Store Weed Properly?
Some people even grow their plants at home. When the supply increases, there is also greater mishandling, reducing the potency and overall quality.
It’s essential to understand the proper way your weed should be stored so that it can last longer and maintain its potency. Here are a few tips for keeping marijuana appropriately stored:
1. In an Airtight Container
Airtight containers are often made of glass, ceramic, or high-quality plastic, which preserves the texture and taste of your stash.
2. Store Weed in a Dark Place
You’d be surprised how much light affects the quality of marijuana, so keep it in areas that are enclosed and away from windows. Sunlight makes buds go stale faster, while too much exposure to artificial light causes them to become dry and crumbly.
3. Away From Humidity
Cannabis is very sensitive to humidity, so it’s best not to store your stash in places with high moisture levels, like the bathroom. Humid conditions speed up the decaying process and affect the quality of weed that you’ll eventually smoke. You can place your buds in zip-lock bags before storing them.
4. Keep in an Airtight Container
Airtight containers are often made of glass, ceramic, or high-quality plastic, which preserves the texture and taste of your stash.
5. Keep cool
When cannabis is exposed to heat for too long, it loses its moisture content and makes it brittle. To keep your bud fresh, store it in a fridge away from any hot items such as light bulbs or the oven. You can also freeze your weed if you want to prolong its shelf life even more.
6. Keep out of reach of children and pets
When cannabis is exposed to heat for too long, it loses its moisture content and makes it brittle. To keep your bud fresh, store it in a fridge away from any hot items such as light bulbs or the oven. You can also freeze your weed if you want to prolong its shelf life even more.
7. Always use airtight containers
Airtight containers are often made of glass, ceramic, or high-quality plastic, which preserves the texture and taste of your stash.
8. Don’t grind it up if you want to store it for longer
Grinding your weed reduces its shelf life by releasing moisture, making it more susceptible to mold, mildew, and other impurities due to moisture exposure. If you still want to grind it, always store the half-eaten buds in an airtight container.
9. Store your weed away from other herbs
Cannabis is very sensitive to humidity, so it’s best not to keep your stash in places with high moisture levels, like the bathroom. Humid conditions speed up the decaying process and affect the quality of weed that you’ll eventually smoke.
10. Store it in a plastic baggie or airtight container
Airtight containers are often made of glass, ceramic, or high-quality plastic, which preserves the texture and taste of your stash.
11. Pack it loosely if you want to store it for longer
Grinding your weed reduces its shelf life by releasing moisture, making it more susceptible to mold, mildew, and other impurities due to moisture exposure. If you still want to grind it, always store the half-eaten buds in an airtight container.
12. Storing weed with stems intact preserves its potency
Cannabis is very sensitive to humidity, so it’s best not to keep your stash in places with high moisture levels, like the bathroom. Humid conditions speed up the decaying process and affect the quality of weed that you’ll eventually smoke. You can place your buds in zip-lock bags before storing them.
13. Keep it away from the oven
