How long does weed last?

[Leebstatus]

Is there an actual way for it to go bad, aside from molding? How long does it take before it gets too dry?

Properly stored it can last for months if not years.

really? i was under the impression that the thc breaks down rapidly, so i have always used my buds w/in 2 or 3 weeks after buying.

As Perp pointed out, "Properly stored" is the key. Many times if I get a really good strain I'll save a few grams for later. What I do is vacuum pack it in one of those seal-a-meal things. I've had weed in those for up to two years and it's still as potent as the day I bought it.

Just get some air tight jars, that works the best for storing weed.

Ive never really bought large ammounts of weed, so I just store it in empty medicine bottles.

I've found weed that was months old, and it was still good, just harsh.

I've never had weed long enough for it to go bad, but I know you can put it in a heavy duty ziploc and freeze it.

Yep, air-tight jars. They conceal the smell, too. The idea for the vaccuum packed seal-a-meal things is a really good idea too. I've thought about doing that, but I don't have one of those things. Air is Cannabis' worst enemy. Well, maybe not the worst, but air is what causes it to dry out and get moldy. If you take most of the air out of the container, and seal it air-tight, it's going to last a hell of a lot longer.

I wouldn't know either. If there's bud around I'll be smoking it! :rasta:
