Just got my first 1/8, wondering how to keep it nice and fresh

Don't have pics yet, but it kinda looks like I got ripped off a bit. I gave 20 bucks to my friend and he told me that he'd get me an 1/8. He owed me 20 bucks so he said he'd pay for 5 bucks of it. It looks like he gave me a 20, though, but thats not the point of this thread. I was wondering how to get a bit less dry, because it seems pretty dry. I was thinking I'd stick a piece of an orange peel, but I dunno if its actually dry, and I heard about how it could get all moldy and bad. So I was wondering if putting an orange peel in there would be a good idea, because it might not be as dry as I think it is.

Oh its in a glass jar btw

Put the orange peel in a baggie with the weed if it's dry. Only for a few hours though or else it probably will get moldy.

A glass jar, like a mason jar or a glass coffee jar is the best thing to keep buds in. It's usually pretty dry when I get it, which makes it easy to grind up, but then I put a small piece (1 or 2 inch square) of orange peel in after its ground. That way my joint doesn't burn too fast or too hot. Don't try to put it in a grinder after you put it in with the orange peel, it doesn't work.

well how dry is it... does it crumble when you touch it? if its not that dry, it probly doesnt need any hydration. after all, bud is supposed to be dry.

It doesn't crumble or anything, so I guess its not as dry as I thought, thanks for the input fellas.

orange or lemon peel, but make sure you open up the bag everyday to get some fresh air in there...I once left a peel in there for a weekend and it made some of my weed moldy.

haha for me there would be no use of storing an 1/8th, that shit would be gone in one sitting.:D

that's what i was thinking when i opened the thread

well you shouldn't have to dry it but try to post some pictures, and if it doesnt have seeds and stuff in it there is a good chance that it is atleast decent. Also paying only 20 plus the 5 your friend put in is pretty good for 3.5grams, i usually pay 30-35 for that so ya.

just smoke it damn lol

yeah if its super dry like nightprowler said hella crumbly then maybe think of hydrating it. but another idea is, if your someone who gets a lot of bud and doesnt finish it like these other fellas in one sitting then find a glass jar (mason jar or maybe a 420 jar) and then go to your local smoke shop and pick up a humidifier for like 2 bucks. tiny little guys you drop some water on then and theyll keep your buds freesh for safe keeping. be sure to open it every once in awhile though or itll get too wet.

yeah an 8th would be gone in 2 days for me, i say chief down, and its not gonna go bad, should stay good for the week or so you will smoke on it

fire in the hole,
no need to store an 1/8th , maybe in my lungs lol . it'll go quick esp. if it's already as dry as mummy dust .
peace

Don't worry about it, you'll prob. smoke it before it'll ever get stale. I've toked stuff months and months old (which yours may be already!) and never had a problem.

Just put it in a baggy in a drawer somewhere and it'll be nearly as fine as the day you bought it.

Wow you guys are nuts. I can have an eighth last me three weeks if I had to.

Jar is good enough, unless you really want to do the orange peel thing. Weed is supposed to be dried, so I really wouldnt worry about it..

ways to keep weed for long period of times, is put a big ass bud in your bong, fold bag back up... stick back in pocket for latter,... fire up the bong, cash the big ass bowl in one hit... wait an hour or to, and then repeat the prossec...

I can make an 8th last a week if i really have to, but that's with my girlfriend sometimes being mad at me but I do get my hits here and there. Slow week though

It's probably not dry, but if it is, use an orange or lemon peel. But not for too long!
