Maintaining your marijuana for the best smoke possible is something that most cannabis lovers aren’t always so attentive about. Many bud lovers underestimate how many aspects can affect their unused marijuana negatively. Overall, heat is probably the biggest enemy towards cannabis. When exposed to too much heat, weed will have its cannabinoids and terpenes dried out, worsening its quality. Chemical diversity is important in a strain and is the secret behind how certain strains deliver such enjoyable highs. Moisture within warm air can also be considered a threat to the quality of your beloved flower.

With that in mind, just because the weather is heating up doesn’t mean you should stop knocking back joints. In this article, our experienced Holi Concentrates team will explain 3 effective tips to help keep your cannabis quality top tier, ensuring that when you spark up that bowl of yours, you’re getting the best high possible.

Storing Marijuana In Glass Jars

Glass jars are always going to be the most reliable and safest choice for cannabis storage. Plastic Ziplocks and baggies are acceptable but aren’t ideal for long term storage. Also, putting your weed in a box may seem reliable, but it is no match for the safety and positives of glass jars. The only times humid oxygen can get inside the jar is when it’s being opened and closed. Regardless of the amount of time your weed spends within a concealed glass jar, it will always come out the same quality as long as you properly close the lid and store it in an appropriate setting.

Another major positive of storing weed in a glass jar is that you don’t have to worry about any bothering smell. Some potent strains easily stink of skunkiness and earthiness (which is a good thing). Mason/glass jars can be purchased at the majority of supermarkets and dollar stores and come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes.

Ideal Temperature And Setting For Storing Weed

Overall, the most ideal storage for cannabis is in a glass jar located in a cool and covered area. A potential negative of storing marijuana in glass jars is the exposure to light. Light (especially sunlight) is able to harm your weed and potentially worsen your smoke by depriving it of its terpenes and potency. With that said, a cupboard, cabinet, drawer or under your bed are all perfect locations to keep your sealed cannabis fresh and ready to enjoy. The most ideal temperature for storage purposes would approximately be 0ºC to 20ºC (32ºF to 68ºF).

Pro Tip: storing marijuana in a fridge or freezer ruins it! If bud is frozen, it becomes very brittle and loses the majority of its trichomes and terpenes, giving you much weaker smoke and potency.

Stay Organized And Think About Size

One of the most important aspects to remember when it comes to marijuana storage is to never mix different strains in the same jar or box. It is important to keep your strains separate from one another for a few reasons.

Firstly, every strains’ individual flavour profiles are important and unique in their own ways. Mixing marijuana creates a mix of different terpenes and potency levels and can change the outcome of a high, whether that’s for better or for worse.

Another aspect to consider when deciding your storage technique is sizing and the amount of cannabis you actually have. Before purchasing a glass jar or whatever you wish to use as protection, think of how much weed you will be purchasing, how much you will be smoking, and then match that with a jar size. To add, think if your future self would buy enough marijuana to exceed that storage space.

Both organization and location when it comes to marijuana storage are equally important. Being lazy and careless with your cannabis can lead to a ruined or spoiled experience.
