Follow these simple weed tips to keep your stash fresh for longer. Whether you prefer smoking joints, firing up the bong, or vaping, properly storing your weed makes a huge difference in how long it will last and the overall experience. You put a lot of time and money into securing your supply, so make the effort to keep it fresh. Your lungs and wallet will thank you.
The Importance of Keeping Your Weed Fresh
The freshness of your weed is crucial for maximizing your experience. If it’s not stored properly, your bud can lose potency, flavor, and aroma. Keeping your weed fresh starts with buying quality weed that was recently harvested. Ask your budtender when the strain you’re interested in was harvested – the closer to the harvest date the better.
Once you’ve got your weed home, storing it in an airtight glass container in a cool, dark place away from heat and light is key. Glass containers with an air-tight seal or lid are best for keeping air and moisture out. Avoid plastic bags, jars, or containers – trichomes can stick to the sides and terpenes may leach chemicals. The ideal temperature range is between 60 to 70 degrees F. Colder temperatures can cause condensation which leads to mold, and warmer temperatures speed up the breakdown of cannabinoids and terpenes.
Keeping your weed fresh may require some effort, but the reward is cannabis that tastes, smells, and affects you the way the grower intended. Follow these tips and your weed will stay fresh for months. Enjoy your harvest!
How to Properly Store Cannabis to Maintain Freshness
To keep your weed fresh and potent for as long as possible, proper storage is key. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
1. Store in an airtight container.
The best way to prevent exposure to air and light is an opaque, airtight container like a glass jar. Plastic or silicone containers can degrade terpenes and aren’t ideal for long-term storage.
2. Keep it cool and dry.
Avoid extreme heat or cold. The room temperature is ideal. And never store your weed in the freezer – temperature fluctuations can lead to moisture buildup and mold growth. Also, avoid damp spots in your home. Any humidity will speed up degradation.
3. Limit exposure to air and light.
Every time you open your storage container, it exposes your weed to air and light which causes terpenes and cannabinoids to break down. Only open when necessary and keep your container in a dark spot away from UV light.
4. Buy only what you need.
Unless you plan to consume your weed quickly, buying in bulk often leads to drying out before you can enjoy it. For the freshest experience, aim to use your weed within 3 months.
5. Grind only what you need.
Grinding weed speeds up the breakdown of terpenes and trichomes. Only grind enough for your current bowl or joint. Keep the rest of your weed whole until ready to use.
