    So I heard on here a while back that if you keep your weed in a bag for too long it starts to lose potency. Is this true? If so how long can I leave it in a bag before it gets noticeably worse?

    That's not true..but you should keep it in a pill bottle. In like a year maybe but not a few months or anything.

    i keep all my weed inside a ziplock bag either in my mason jar or inside a pill bottle, depending on the amount and the mobility of it all.

    A glass jar is better! There is no leakage of odor, if it's in a jar. A baggie will grab trichs from your weed and they are gone forever! In a glass jar, they can be recovered with a little vodka! :D

    As for how long cannabis can be stores, here's an oldie from PubMed on the subject! ;)

    The stability of cannabis and its preparations on storage.

    Fairbairn JW, Liebmann JA, Rowan MG.
    Abstract

    Solutions of pure cannabinoids, nine samples of herbal and two of resin cannabis (one freshly prepared) were stored in varying conditions for up to 2 years. Exposure to light (not direct sunlight) was shown to be the greatest single factos in loss of cannabinoids especially in solutions, which should therefore be protected from light during analytical and phytochemical operations. Previous claims that solutions in ethanol were stable have not been substantiated. The effect of temperature, up to 20 degrees, was insignificant but air oxidation did lead to significant losses. These could be reduced if care was taken to minimize damage to the glands which act as "well filled, well closed containers". Loss of tetrahydrocannabinol after exposure to light does not lead to an increase in cannabinol, but air oxidation in the dark does. It is concluded that carefully prepared herbal or resin cannabis or extracts are reasonably stable for 1 to 2 years if stored in the dark at room temperature.
