I was looking at your situation again and I think I have a solution, if you are open to not smoking that weed...
Keep it strung up until you can snap the stems.
After you have sectioned off the amount that you intend to have on hand to smoke occaisionally (1/8th is probably plenty) for 1.5-2 months, grind the rest, stems, trim and all.
Heat grounds for 4-5 minutes at 250 degrees F in a preheated oven. (this is the riskiest part of this preparation because of the smell
Get yourself a bottle of either Everclear or Bicardi 151 Rum if you can't find that, then get the highest proof alcohol you can get. (190 is the maximum and the minimum you should setle for is 140.)
Pour out the contents of the bottle and fill it 3/4 full with your ground bud and stems but save 1/4 to keep you for the rest of the two months. (I assure you this will work! If you think I am going to cause you to ruin your weed, search for Cannabis Tinctures on google.)
Return the alcohol back to the bottle so that there is 1 inch of alcohol over the herb. Make sure you have gotten all the bubbles out.
Shake the bottle for 5 minutes. Make the bottle light tight by using duct tape, electrical tape or anything that will securely hold a total barrier to the light and maybe add a little padding for the precious cargo. (A few thicknesses of duct tape followed by about 8 layers of newsprint and another few rounds of tape will be enough security for you to drive home with it stuffed off to the side of your bookbag. And you can wrap the cap because the bottle will not be opened for 2 months)
Place the bottle in a cool place and leave it alone.
Each day for the next 60 days shake the bottle vigorously for 5 minutes then return it to its resting place. (Wake and shake, Shake and sleep is the schedule that I read is most convenient.)
If you decide this is what you would like to do I will tell you the rest of the steps and tell you about that other 1/4oz of grounds.
This is the traditional method of creating a tincture of cannabis. The tincture will last for years in a cool dark place and is so potent that there is a step in its straining that requires gloves, as the contact with it on your hands will cause you to accidentally get too stoned. Its dosing is messured in drops, under the tongue, and eyedropper fulls if you plan on simply drinking it.
I plan to do these exact same steps myself with whatever I harvest. The only difference is that I only plan on smoking a couple of bowls of this entire harvest. With a serving size of three drops, a 30 ml bottle could give over 100 uses depending on potency. And after that 30 mL is gone you can refill it with what is probably a whole year's worth of tincture from that one bottle of alcohol.
What do you think? The high is just as potent and measurable as with inhaled smoke, but infinitely more stealthy. Plus the preparation calls for you to shake it twice daily and it is so easy to conceal a bottle-sized/shaped parcel from family and friends especially if you put it somewhere they wouldn't care to look anyway, like a bookbag or topmost back corner of a shelf in the closet. You could tend to it and keep an eye on it all break long and no one would be the wiser. if you have to fly you should check it in your luggage in a gift wrapped box and you might even be able to get it passed over by any domestic flight luggage checks, in particular during Christmas. I wouldn't risk flying with it unless I was absolutely certain the bottle didn't break and they didn't just let drug dogs roll around in my bag.
It's probably the weed that makes me so nice so I might have to stay scarce when I'm out. lol
