Keeping it fresh?

[WillFerrell]

Hey all,

I'm a relatively new smoker, been smoking since the summer around once or twice a week (on weekends), or less. Now, I'm getting tired of throwing down $10-$20 a week for weed when I know I could get an ounce of good commercial grade stuff for about $130. That ounce would last me a long time and I would save around a hundred bucks in the long run, by my calculations (1 ounce= 28 dimebags = $280 dollars I would have spent had I bought it in dimes, but since I bought it as an ounce for $130, I save $150). I'm willing to spend the cash to buy an ounce so I save money in the long run. That isn't an issue.

Here's the issue- can I keep it fresh for weeks, or even months? I mean, I'm the kind of person that can resist smoking even if I have some- so I won't be blazing up every night my smoking patterns will stay the same. I was thinking that I could either break the ounce up into a bunch of little dimebags and seal in sandwich baggies so it would stay fresh, or I could keep it in a big ziploc bag and maybe once a week give it a light dousing with water. I'm pretty new to weed and stuff, and I've heard its not good for herb to be wet, but I need some advice here. How can I keep it fresh for a long time, like around 2-3 months or so? If it isn't possible, whats the longest it can stay fresh? Even if it's old, can I still get high (I think the answer is yes).

If anyone can help me out here, I'd really be appreciative.

All you need to do is buy an airtight container of some sort. I use two tupperware boxes to hold my baggies of weed in, the bags I have at the moment have been there over a month now, and the ganja is still very very nice, just a bit drier.
You could also use a glass sealable jar, but I dont recommend putting any water over them at all, would ruin it.

the real goal for long term storage is to fight mold.

the best way to do this is go down to a store that sells glass mason jars (dont know where we got ours) and get some hydrogen peroxide. take your jar and rinse it out with boiling water. dry. then take a your peroxide and fill your jar 1/4 the way up. put the cap on and shake vigoriously. rise out. dry with a clean cloth or paper towls.

now you should have your self a nice semi-steril jar. put your ganja in and throw the jar in the refrigirator.

keep in mind to check your weed for mold every 3-4 days, and if you find any take the moldy bud out and toss it. if you find moldy bud you should repeat my instuctions above


happy smoking

I've had weed just chillin for over a year, I guess technically its just curing for an extended period. They say the more you cure, the smoother your smoke. I've smoked shit chillin over a year in a sealed jar, and that shit knocked me from door to door, had smoke as smooth as silk. As long as you store it right, it can stay good for a long time.
