IMO, ideally you will want to keep them in cool dark place (fridge) in a rigid container (to prevent damaging trichomes like you would if they were in a baggie). As zcomp points out, DO NOT FREEZE them as it will rupture the cell walls and you will lose potency.

Personally I leave them in the glass curing jar and place them inside a paper grocery bag in the fridge. That way they stay safe from light when the door opens, and they are discreet (when the door opens a visitor doesn't have a big jar of nuggs staring them in the face). Also they are in a glass container rather than plastic, as glass doesn't risk leaching chemical flavors into the herb. :jointsmile:
