They get dry, they ain't airtight

I use old time Mason jars that have a clap and a gasket to Seal it.

You can accomplish the same thang by using wax paper or saranWrap to use as a gasket for a jar with a screw on lid.

Re: glass jar? storage

Glass jars are the best in my opinion. If using tupperware be sure it's never been used for pickles and so on! Sounds like your buddy is placing Bud in containers before it's to dry. I've been using glass jars for a VERY long time! Just remember to open lids for a few minutes every 2 or 3 days for air replacement. Do this a couple of weeks until it taste just right. PS. Not sure it improves THC, but it is more mild, making the High a nicer experience.

Re: glass jar? storage

Find a glass jar with a small enough opening to shove a cork in there. Otherwise, use wax paper like someone else said. If your using the canning jars that i'm assuming your using, I guess it isn't an airtight seal.

Re: glass jar? storage

I've had great results with glass! Mason jars are the best! They keep your meds fresh, potent and stinky! Remember to remove the tops for a few minutes a couple times a day as someone else sugested. Also, make sure you use the right size jar... meaning, if you are storing an oz. the jar should be full of meds with little or no air space. If storing a a quarter for example, you would want to use a much smaller mason jar.

Your issue with the meds drying out to fast are from either a bad seal on the jar or to much air space in the jar. Good luck!
