One of the mostly pondered and frequently asked questions about weed is that, does it ever expire? Whilst some people and even classic movies show that weed can last for decades and still offer high, but that’s just the opposite of true. Yes, you guessed it right, weed does expire. Everything, remember everything, expires sooner or later. But, then here’s the million dollar question – how do I find out when it will actually expire since it doesn’t come with an expiry date? And this is the question that keeps all canna lovers on their toes. Hence this guide that’ll take you through all such questions that yet remain unanswered.

Have a look and find out everything you always wanted to know but couldn’t find a direct answer to.

So, the first thing that you should know as a weed enthusiast is that you don’t have to consume whatever you have in a week or even two or three. That’s because it lasts much longer than that. Every weed strain – whether it’s buds, leaves, or stem – can stay good for anywhere between 12-18 months. But, here’s the catch – it “CAN” stay good. Whether it does or not will entirely depend upon how you actually store it.

That said, let’s now take you through the different ways in which you can store your weed so that it offers the same high as it did when you first purchased it.

Weed Storage Techniques

Whether you’re a hardcore user or somewhere who preferes occasional use, you should know that air, moisture, and ever sunlight spoils weed. That’s because all these factors affect the THC quality in weed. When THC gets adulterated, it loses its potency and you won’t get as high as you should have. So, follow the weed storage tricks listed below that’ll take you a long way.

1. Do not refrigerate weed directly. It will catch moisture or get wet when taken out for consumption.
2. Always store weed in an airtight glass container that’ll keep moisture and air away.
3. Do not store the airtight container anywhere near a heat source.
4. Try to not use a black container since black absorbs light. It’s even better that you use a heat resistant transparent glass container.
5. It’s best that you keep the container in an armoire where it’s away from sunlight.

These are the most effective ways to make weed last for more than a year. On a parting note, the shelf life will also depend upon the quality of the strain. So, never go for compromised quality just to save a few bucks.
