Keep it fresh

Air, light, heat, and moisture are what make weed go stale or moldy. Read why.

Adam's Pick

Vacuum-seal glass stash jar with pump

Pumps the air out so your buds go stale slower. Glass holds no smell. The seal locks in odor too.

Why we like it
  • Removes most of the air that breaks down THC and terpenes
  • Glass, so no plastic taste or static
  • Holds in smell well when sealed
Good to know
  • Still keep it in a dark cupboard. Clear glass lets light in.
  • A few gentle pumps is enough. Don't crush the buds.

Look for: thick glass, a one-way valve lid, and a size that fits what you actually buy (an eighth to a quarter fits a small jar).

What's the best way to store weed?

An airtight glass jar, kept in a cool, dark place. A vacuum-seal jar removes more of the air, which may slow aging a little more.

Is a vacuum jar better than a regular mason jar?

Both work. A vacuum jar removes more air. Air is one of the things that breaks down THC and smell over time, so less air may help. A sealed mason jar in a dark cupboard is still a solid choice.

Storage and freshness

What does moldy weed look like, and is it safe to smoke?

Fuzzy, musty, or spongy means toss it. Shiny and sparkly is normal. Here's how to tell, and what to do next.

An open carry-on suitcase on a bed with folded clothes, a passport, a boarding pass and a clear bag of toiletries, with the labels Leave it at home, Inside Canada, and Never across a border.

Can you fly with weed? What TSA, Canada and the law actually say

Not in the US, within limits inside Canada, and never across a border. Here is why, and what actually happens at the checkpoint.

The open trunk of a car in a driveway at sunset with a sealed brown paper bag and a canvas grocery bag inside, with the labels Sealed, In the trunk, and No use in the car.

Driving high: is it a DUI, and how long should you wait after smoking weed?

Yes, it is a DUI everywhere. The harder question is how long to wait, and the honest answer has numbers and a catch.
