Try throwing in a slice of orange peel or lemon peel for a few hours.:hippy:

What are you storing it in?

The best product to store weed in is a glass air-tight mason jar that is kept in a fairly cool DARK place. Light is what destroys THC more than anything else. Dryness typically doesn't affect strength, but it DOES affect flavor.

Personally, I like my weed a bit on the dry side, and refuse to do anything to remoisten it due to the possibility of introducing mold, which is the WORST thing that can happen to any weed, short of being flushed down the toilet.

But, if you insist on upping the moisture level, I've heard that adding an orange peel to your stash works, but keep a VERY close eye on it so you don't introduce too much moisture, thereby encouraging mold growth.

ps
I posted this before reading 420's post above. His suggestion of no more than a few hours sounds good.

shake is just the leftovers from the bud you buy, like all the little bits and pieces, i bought shake from a club and it came with 6 or 7 different types of kush in it, which is amazing haha

Does it hurt to keep it in the freezer?

well i would
but seeing as my mom would not enjoy finding an ounce of bud in my freezer that wouldn't work lol:jointsmile:

lol I understand that, but I meant does it affect the thc or the weed at all to have it in the freezer?

A few suggestions. Ditch the plastic bag. The trichs can stick to the plastic.

Just get yourself a mason jar at the supermarket (one that is about the same size as the quantity of weed that you want to store) and just store it in that. Putting the jar inside a box is good as it will help to keep out the light.

And try to open that jar the least amount of times that you can. I pull out a nug (one that will last me about a week), and grind that up and keep the ground bud in my grinder which isn't quite air-tight, but close. That way, I open that jar no more than about once a week.
