Not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else..but have a question..

Ok...I buy a quarter every 2.5 weeks and by the end of the baggie it is so stale and harsh and dried out it hurts to smoke it...is there anything I can do to freshen it again...This next bag is going to go half in the freezer...but first I gotta get through what I got left with my throat intact...so is there some secret thing to do to it to make it not quite so dried out and harsh?

Not sure about the harshness,but I know for sure if u put a tiny piece of lettuce or orange peel it will gain moisture and not dry out. But caution if u put too much for too long it will become wet and unsmokeable, just keep and eye on it. I hope this helps.

Put in cut apple or a moist piece of paper towel...don't let paper towel touch product or it will mold.

i like to keep my large stash in a glass jar, this keeps it fresher for longer. plastic is more porous and will not seal in your buds causing them to dry out sooner.

any tuppaware container, i got mine from supermarket for a pittance i put half oz in twice a month and it stays just right as long as your weed isn't damp cos then it goes mouldy

ok...Thanks guys...I just got a new quarter last night and just took out a little for a few days and put the rest in the freezer...that should work as well right? I just don't like the fact that it'll be good when I buy it and then a week later it is so dry it doesn't even have a smell anymore...lol.

I smoke a QP a month (4oz). That's not my friends, that's just me. If the original poster smokes a quarter every few weeks, that's a lot ?? This aint high school anymore, growers grow to smoke

An OZ a week? That's ridiculous by any measure.

you can put over dried buds in an open container, then put that on a shelf in the fridge overnight. a small bowl works. the humidity and cold in the fridge is just enough to add the needed moisture. check every few hours until you get an idea of how moist it's getting.

That's 4 grams a day, which for me is one good blunt a bunch of bowls and a few bags from the vaporizer........... Aint that much!

i did the math once and i can easily smoke 3 pounds a year. breaks down to just under 4 grams a day. which is easy when smoking indoor.

I guess. If you were to do edibles it would probably be even higher.

Make (4) 1/16 bags that are sealed up tight... Place (3) into the freezer and smoke as you go..

have you ever seen a cigar humidor? they work great for bud. you can actually buy little moisture packs for them, set at a certain humidity. 50-55% is good for long term storage, 60-65% is good for curing freshies. You dont need a fancy humidor, just a space that is controllable for temp and humidity. keep your nuggets below 60 degrees. if you freeze nugs, defrost them for about a half hour before opening the jar or bag, so the moisture that has come out of the nugs can rehumidify them to the level they were when you froze them. otherwise when you open the bag, that moisture will escape, and your nugs will be drier than before. Too dry is not good for the smooth smoke, IMO.

Yeah...I smoke a few times everyday, but just enough to feel it ya know...and I have decided that I will just keep it in the freezer and take out enough for a few days. I don't think there is any reason to smoke an oz a day, or week....it is only me that smokes in my house...I rarely smoke more than 3 times a day....Don't need it more than that...lol. No need to pick on me...I just don't see any point in smoking more than I need to at a time...I might fill the bong bowl and then smoke half now and half later...anyway thanks for all the help...my lungs thank you.

i just throw a fresh fan leaf in the jar and let it sit over night.

hell yeah why not you only live once, might as well grow big buds and smoke fat blunts. im on your side i can easily smoke an 1/8 a day to the face.

I just keep mine sealed in the thick seal a meal plastic. It stays fresh for months. The stash im smokin out of i just fold the seal a meal up a few times fold it over on it self and use a pair of hemostats to clamp it shut. Works great!
You know why they call them roach clips? Cos Pot Holder was already taken!
