Oil extraction and storage

    A friend told me that storing oil in plastic will absorb THC. I am using a food-safe.jar made of pete plastic. Its been storing the oil for a few days. Should I remove the oil asap?

    Thank you, City

    Sounds like an urban myth, but I don't know for sure either way.

    WTF is "pete" plastic?

    There is no way that the plastic absorbs thc from the oils. If anything, the plastic may leach chemicals into your oil but that's unlikely since it's food grade. Another thing is that your oil is going to stick to the plastic so you'll probably ended up losing a little bit. Next time, line your plastic container with parchment paper and you're good to go!
