Question Long term Storage Issues
I have WAY more than I can possibly use in the short term. I need some long term storage ideas. I tried a few things but if I let it set to long they always start to mold. Thanks

i will take some off your hands.

try glass jars. mason jars work well. i use clamp down lidded glass jars i found at a kitchen accessories store. if you get mold your weed is still to wet.

get it almost dry, put in zip loc bags and into your freezer. When you need some, pull it out, air it for a day, and presto, you have long term storage. Good for up to a couple of years or more if kept frozen. No mold issues and the taste actually improves over time. You don't need to keep it in airtight jars or any of that stuff. Just bag it and freeze it.

yeah, fuck the jars. put it in plastic (nasty) and burn it in the freezer. moisture seeps into ziplock bags. freezer burn will ruin your weed. sealing in glass jars and freezing would be the best for long term storage. but NEVER store pot in plastic bags. NEVER!!!!!!!!!

No, but it will become much more brittle so you should be more careful with frozen glass. Also depends on the thickness of the glass; how many times have you left a nice thick mug in the freezer for a tall frostie and maybe forgot about it and left it in for a few days or a bottle of vodka for a few weeks (got one in there right now that has been in there for a month). Mason jars should be fine in the freezer.

Normally what breaks the glass is the expansion of the material inside the glass; like a beer or soda in the freezer, it is the liquid inside the glass expanding due to it being frozen that breaks the glass not the cold.

Everytime I've ever tried to store weed in the freezer, I've done it in a bag. However, everytime I've tried to defrost and smoke it always ends up drying out so that the bud just breaks into dust when I'm packing a bowl. What's up with that?

ive stored in the freezer before. ill take a zip in one of the foodsaver vaccum bags and have stored them for months. after awhile it will start to dry slightly and when you take it out of the freezer open it and let it thaw in a ziplock for a while.

What about if you can't use the freezer? (Hey, I live folks Can I put my cured weed thats now in glass jars into wrapped blankets and stashed in a plastic storage container in my storage section in a barn? I'm living in Northern NY and the weather stays cold but global warming has caused our winters to be warmer than the old days. Its still cold but not consistently cold like the freezer would be.
