Can weed lose its potency if it isn't smoked within the first month or so? I bought weed a while ago but haven't been able to pick it up. I'm getting it tomorrow.
i believe in a month or so it gets old
it should be as potent, itll just taste like shit, and burn too fast
couldent you put like an orange peel in the bag to moisten it up a bit so it dosent burn as fast and taste as harsh
yea you can put a orange peel so it moistens it up but don't leave it in too long or else it will start to mold
you can put, bannana in there to, or tare up some apple aswell, basicly most fruite that you can peel you can just about..
if u put pot in something airtight and out of direct sunlight it will not get stale or lose potency for a very long time you can store it for years. The best way to store it i tihnk is in a glass jar because it cures in there, and just gets better.
If u keep that shit for a while on a table or something thats a different story
but comon everyones got glass jars in there house right
i store mine in film canisters in sealed bags... the most i ever was holding was an ounce and all i did was used two ziploc bags and squeezed the air out, then put it in a large movie film canister and sealed that, lasted for 6 months with no adverse effects.
It will suck.. Send it to me, so I can dispose of it for you!
Yeah do that. . . . and while your busy sending it to him, why not send me a henry!Quote:

Think about it if it lost potency in a mere month , an entire crop would have to be smoked right away
dude, Ive cured as long as a year
it gets smoother, tastier and stronger with proper curing.
Funky is right. Like another poster I use film containers (multiple). It does get better in there, providing it still has a little moisture I find that the flavor often gets more fruity from hanging out in its own gases. I lost one during my last move and when I found it the city was bare so I was in luck. It was in there for about 2 months or so and it did dry a little (they are not that air tight) but it did not degrade :stoned: :D
This is true, I have the remnants of an oz that I bought over a month ago in the bottom of my weedbox for days when im out of bud. Every time I smoke it it seems to have gotten better.Quote:

Light, I guess, is the biggest potency detractor.

Stability of cannabinoids in dried samples of cannabis dating from around 1896-1905 Harvey DJ
J Ethnopharmacol 1990 Feb;28(1):117-28
Abstract:
Cannabinoids from three samples of cannabis obtained from the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford, and dating from the turn of the century were examined by gas chromatography and mass spectometry for the presence of cannabinoids. Although the samples were from different geographical locations, the profiles of constituent cannabinoids were similar. In common with other aged material, most of the cannabinoid content was present as cannabinol (CBN), the main chemical degradation product of the major psychoactive constituent, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC).
my mate jus gave me about $100 worth for nothing!!, it may be a month old and a bit dry but still gets you stoned as fuck!!

and on xmas he gave me twice that. haha im not taking it for granted dont worry...hes giving up.
haha, notice the sig a friend with weed is a friend indeed
If you just have a few grams I would just smoke them rather than store
them. :) If you have weight then you should spend some money and get a
nice humidification system or something. Not that I could afford such a
thing. :stoned:
