I used to hear this in highschool (where most of what kids say is bullshit) but now I'm wondering, since I hardly ever smoke anymore and I have a particular bag that I've had for 6 months. I remember getting quite high the first time I smoked from it, but now it just doesn't seem to be hitting me nearly as much. The question is, is it me or the weed?
yes it loses potency, why wouldnt it? if youve not smoked since then, then you shouldnt have any tolerance. a range of factors besides deteriorated weed could lead to this though.
Why? How? Does the THC somehow leak? No, I shouldn't have any tolerance. But how long is it supposed to last?
its plant material, and a large amount of the thc is in the surfaces of the buds. everything organic degrades if its not sealed properly airtight, with teh right humidity, temperature, minimal exposure to light, etc. 6 months is a while to keep it, but it really shouldnt be that less potent, though definately is a chance of being noticeably so.
Yeah, I was going to ask how you have it stored. The best is an airtight glass jar, preferably in the fridge or freezer, but definitely in a dry, dark, cool (or at least constant temperature) place. That's for long distance storage, if you smoke it quick, it won't matter, but you (and me) seem to be able to stretch our weed, so it's good to store it properly. Another thing to think about, was it good quality weed, or not? Good weed is generally cured properly (one hopes, anyways) but schwagg and even mids is more often not done so well, because it's just schwagg or mids. That means it won't hold up as well in the long run.
yeh see i chop up my weed and leave it in a special tray made of paper on my desk. it dries up to the point i want it, but no further, for it is always smoked by then hehe
I spent exactly 6 months in Europe and i left a gram of mj at home. When i first got it, it was really good. I didn't smoke at all in europe but when i got back to the US i noticed that the weed was dry and crispy. I don't know if it loses potency or not but i do know that it got me high as f***
