does weed expire?

[glassman15]

i had weed at the bottom of my stash box and i never put the old stuff on top, so when i went to smoke the old stuff, it wasnt nearly as good as when it was new. there could be other reasons for this but the box isnt airtight so thats what im thinking.

OMFG.

Where the hell do you kids get these wacky ideas? Weed doesn't fucking expire. That would make NO sense. First off, its not like you get it from the store, so theres NO way to tell when it was grown and how long the weed has been around. Weed can get MOLDY, but thats completely different. Thats like saying "oh man this waters gone bad" water doesn't go bad, it might get warm, and shit might get in it, but it doesn't fucking go bad.

I'm sorry, I'm just sick of people thinking up dumb stuff like this. Its common sense man. Maybe you had a bad high cause your a lightweight, don't blame the weed.

WOW. Your just so wrong on so many levels. Don't get all mad at this kid because he has the right idea. Listen to Stinky, because, at least Stinky knows shit from apple butter, much less than i can say about you. Yes, pot does in fact, expire. Light, Heat, Moisture, and other factors destroy the trichomes, where thc is stored, thus lessening the potency. So find out what your talking about before you attempt to one up somebody on the internet. You sir, are a douchebag.

I've wondered the same thing - if weed goes stale. Let me tell you, I have samples of weed that are very old - I have kept them in tiny little zip-top type craft bags. I have never tried any of them to see if they are still any good, so that's why I am looking on here about it. I was just going to give it all to someone, and am not sure if it's really any good to smoke - I got stuff that goes back to 2003...do you really think it's any good? I'm seriously thinking of chucking it all in the garbage, since I have stuff from 2007 and 2009. I'm f**cked up, I admit, keeping samples from the stuff I bought, dont ask me why I do it though, I have no clue...

Twiggy while it can lose a lil potency over time,it doesnt per say "expire" plastice isnt the best storage device thou,as it can absorb some thc. I highly recommend mason jars. over exposure to light,heat and also mold is the real enemy. You should be fine.just inspect it and try it out,I still have some stuff from last year and its perfectly fine.:jointsmile:

Stale weed can give you a mad headache, but it usually doesn't make you higher or give you a different high - it usually, if anything, gives you barely a high at all.

Never keep your weed in a plastic baggy dude. It'll dry out in a day and the plastic fucks with the crystals. Not only that but you can always smell it on you.

Keep it in a glass mason jar or metal airtight tin, like the others said!
