glass jars!

try to find an air-thigh glass jar, they are the best to keep your weed stored
also avoid sun light and heat

I put mine in a zip lock baggie, I take a straw, place it at one end of the baggie and close the bag all the way to the straw. I then suck all of the air out. It is a poor mans vacuum. I then place the kind in the frig.

Keep it cool. Store it in the dark. Keep it as airtight as you can.

Airtight bag or jar.
Keep it in the fridge. I wouldn't recommend freezing it as it can damage the structure of the resin, leading to a faster breakdown of cannabinoids into non-psychoactives when it thaws.
I saw a graph somewhere showing the breakdown rate of cannabinoids in relation to temperature in storage. The difference between keeping it in a fridge and keeping it somewhere warmer were astounding. You can lose something like 90% of potency in less than a month if kept above 25C (77F).

I'll see if I can find the figures.

I just heard a rumor about an orange peel in the jar... and i have to say it works very well. Last night i put a piece of the peel in a jar and i checked an hour later and the bud felt sticky and dank as hell!. If you do this, i only recommend not leaving the peel in for too long, just check periodically for premium dankness. I left the peel in overnight and now my bud feels loose and way to moist.

glass jars work the best. go to wal-mart and get one for $4. remember smell permeates so bags and other like material is not right for it.

I use a ziploc freezer container thing, its cool cause it lets moisture out, but doesn't mold my bud so i just have nice dry sticky bud =]

In the freezer!!!!!!!

Works like a bomb... although I prefer it drying out some. Easier to clean... and you get more into a joint.

Your bud sucks the moisture from the orange peel. You can put a small slice of potato peel in with dry tobacco and it'll re moisturise it and freshen it up.

The idea of glass over plastic bags is something I'd go with too. Our weed is in two ziplocks and under a heap of clothes. As soon as you lift the clothes, you can smell the bud.
