how to keep weed fresh...

I'm out - I will get more someday...

my question - I borrowed some from a friend, and he had just gotten his, and it was so much fresher, with the smell and stickiness then that shake I was reduced to smoking at the end of my bag...but that's the way my stuff was when I started - even a little piece would stink up the car when I first got it.

How do I always keep it that freah and loaded with that glorious THC goodness? - put it in the freezer? I tried ziploc bags (I needed 3 or 4 to keep the smell out of the apt..) - no real success...

I've got to smoke it less - my first half ounce and I can already feel tolerance kicking in.

One small piece of orange peel in the bag will keep your stash nice and moist for weeks.

Yeah, a bit of citrus peel (lemon or lime work as well) will work wonders. I've actually managed to re-vitalize some old dried out weed that way. I think it also helps to get a nice jar to put it in - get the kind with the top that latches down and has a rubber seal so it's airtight.

One word of caution, though, keep an eye on the piece of peel because it will mold eventually.

It's been my experience that you should fire it up before it dries out. The older it gets the less kick it has (like my grandma).

That sweet apple pie just keeps getting less and less moist every year.

weed should not be smoked fresh.
Keep it in a cool, dark, non moist place (without draft)and after about
a YEAR your weed is still perfect.
Weed should be dried for about 3 months (which is not economically viable) before it is of optimal quality.
Most ppl hurry up the drying process so that the weed can be sold within a few weeks.
I am now smoking grass which has been in the garage for a year and it is better then when it was fresh.
Why u want to keep your weed fresh is a mystery to me. The stickyness is only caused by H2O which still needs to evaporate.

This is very true. For the record, I never use the orange peel trick anymore - I was just providing a solution to what I thought the OP was looking for (sticky weed). As a matter of fact, I now just leave my bag open on my desk all the time to let it dry out. It smokes so much better when dry, particularly when rolled.

In the day I would keep it in a freezer. Worked for me.

Wrong,wrong,wrong,oh so very wrong.Resin losing potency when it dries out.A mason jar with a tight seal works just fine.
