How long can you keep weed?

Just wondering how long can weed be hold and still be good?I just got a lot but never got time to smoke it but I dont want it to like rot or something.

any help?

 

it wont "rot" unless u like... seal it wrong. It just loses its potency. How long have you had it so far? I would say, if properly wrapped (i cant think of a better word lol) then you could probably have it in a closet for like half a year and it could still be good. It really depends though - on how long it was just sitting around before YOU bought it, and the strain n stuff. Just try to smoke it in the first 2 or 3 months haha

 

just keep as much air and moisture out as possible and it should last you long enough to smoke it. unless you have like a pound and smoke a bowl every 3 weeks.

 

Keep air and moisture out, and it will be fine

 

I found the last few tiny nugs of a bag in a sealed metal tin that were at least 10 months old. I wouldn't smoke it, but a friend said he'd take it and reported that it worked fine after an orange peel treatment (leave a big chunk of orange peel in the bag for about a day to moisten dry weed; most useful little trick ever).
So I'd say it's possible to keep weed at least a year.

 

I will have to try the orange peel treatment, it sounds like something that would work.

 

That cool. Il try the ornage peel thing if my weeds get to moldy.

And that will help me since I cant barely buy in summer, il make a big stash.

 

It won't help mold, unfortunately. You should try to keep the weed from touching the orange peel, because I hear that can get it too moist and increase the risk of mold. It's never happened to me, though. Keep it in there 1 day max, and use about 1/3 of an orange peel or more. It moistens it right up.

 

So I guess the key factor to keep it for a long time is to keep it dry?

 

the two things that break down THC are oxygen and light. so if you keep it in an airtight container (like a mason jar), vacuum sealed (you can buy little pumps online for pretty cheap that do this), and in the fridge...it'll last for years. i've got weed stored like this from a year ago and it is as potent as the day i got it. if the fridge and vacuum thing aren't possible, just putting it in a mason jar in the back of your closet should keep it plenty potent for quite a while.

 

I would wrap it up really nicely like everyone else was saying. You could also store it inside the fridge or freezer (when sealed well) to keep it more fresh, if that is an option, of course.

 

yes, i would just like to confirm that weed, if properly stored, will last many years...

 

What about keeping it in a pill bottle? How would that be

 

Never tired the orange peal method but... pieces of carrots work wonders even shredded carrot pieces will work with in a day or two just a little trick

 

woah. im gonna try that. does it make the weed taste orange-y, too?

 

^Makes it SMELL orangey, taste not as noticeable for me at least.

Someone mentioned keeping weed in a fridge, I just want to point out that doing so MAY not be the smartest thing. I'm no expert or anything, but I do know that plant material put in a too cold environment will break down much more rapidly if it were stored in a milder climate.

The theory is that the insides of the plant cells rupture the cell walls.

(I know I ultra-res'd this thread but it has some useful info)

 

A few years back I quit smoking for a while and had a g or 2 in my stash still. I smoked it about a year later, hittin' buckets with my friends who were all new to burning and we got so ripped. One of my boy's passed out and when he woke up he puked in the sink. It may not get better with age like cheese or wine but it still remains quite potent.

 

Iv kept my stash in pill bottles before and they've kept pretty well...but I haven't had it like that for more than 3 months.

I have also tried with success in putting it in those little containers that come out of the 25 cent machines.

 

I actually keep mine in an old washed out pharmacy bottle from like an antibiotic prescription, and I keep that in a black bag. It's not the most air-tight container but it works pretty well and it's easy to store away, because I don't get so smoke that often either so I need my stuff to last and this seems to work.

 

wtf, orange peel will NOT get rid of mold. Orange peel or anything of the sort is used to moisten up bud thats to dry. And your sposto air it out every few hours so it doesnt get to wet. Also yeah it will last a very long time if yuo keep it air tight in a refridgerator. Mason jars will keep it pretty long too.
