Preservation

[RubberSoul]

I not only enjoy the high from marijuana, but i like to collect it as well. I was wondering if there is anything I can do aside from keeping it in air-tight containers which will help preserve it. If so, is there any estimation of how long everything will stay fresh?

It will keep for years in a freezer, but its better to keep it in an air tight container with NO moisture and make sure its in the dark and not in a hot place.

it will really keep for years in a freezer?! holy shit. new info to me.

I had the same question. You learn something new everyday.

Hmm.The freezer. Never thougt of that. Bud sicles.

Best thing to do is to vacuum seal it. Whenever I get a really good strain I like to put away a few grams for a later date. I get out the FoodSaver and seal it up. I recently opened up some white widow that I've had for almost two years and it was practically as good as the day I got it.

I've heard that freezing is actually bad for weed. The freezer can dry it out (thing freezer burn) and damage the trichs. Don't know if it's true or not though.

the trichomes fall off when they are frozen too I heard

[RubberSoul]

thanks for all the information everyone, I might be out looking for a foodsaver soon, because thats exactly what i do too, Fengzi

I have this little wooden box, unfinished wood, and I read on here, and it makes sense too, that it dries out the weed very very slowly, and I'm sure it would taste a lot better too.

Putting bud in the freezer is bad... you should put it in the fridge in a dark, airtight container. That should work best.

vacuum seal or mason jars, it will keep for years

I not only enjoy the high from marijuana, but i like to collect it as well.LOL. that made my day :dance:

[horror business]

Well, I have a question? Why collect it? I mean, I can understand collecting a little bit, kind of like a savings acount (I know, but I'm really high right now) and then you can make withdraws from it, so you'll have weed, but you made it sound like you enjoy collecting it, as some people enjoy collecting birdhouses... Because you could smoke it, or sell it, or smoke out your friends. Maybe you have OCD or something, and have to collect it, but you should make sure someone gets usage of it, if you're just going to collect it, to look at, or whatever...

Well I think you kind of answered your own question squirt.
He probably likes to see the different strains.
And smoke some old-school weed every now and then.
No harm there it's all good.
Besides, didn't anyone collect baseball cards as a kid?
Same thing here, only we can smoke our collection.
