dumb semi-newbie question

[theprettiestprincess]

Does weed get old? I mean should you smoke it before a certain time? Will it lose effect if you wait too long?

[sir smokes alot]

at all depends on the conditions it is stored in if its in a air tight bag and somewhere cool and dark it should stay the same potency for i dunno know at least a week and a half ----just a guess

weed is the same as wine in that it gets more potent with age,if kept propley.

No it won't. Try and keep weed sealed in an airtight bag, it can go "stale" after a while. I kept my stuff put away in a ziploc/sealed for about a month, and it was still a good smoke, if a little stale. Also, if you stick it in the freezer, it will keep for however long.

jars are good for perserving weed, sometimes i use little baby food sized glass jars for small amounts

weed goes "bad"

weed does lose potency from age but it takes a long time if stored properly.
Many folks cure it 6 months or so before smokin any at all.
In the curing process it gains potency. I have not personally observed the difference in potency from curing this long but I have read it, and believe it as it came from a reputable source.
It will be quite fine for longer than youll problably be able to keep it before it degrades.

Peace.

btw its not a dumb question. It has been asked a lot here but certainly not dumb. Seeking knowledge is the most intelligent thing to do!
There is a search engine on this site that will help you to answer some of the generic questions you might not want to post to ask.
But, when in doubt...ask! :)
