Unless you want to make a trip to the dispensary every time you want to enjoy a little green, you’ll need to learn how to properly store your weed. After all, proper storage will prevent the quality of your weed from degrading over time. Not sure where to begin when it comes to storing your weed? We’ve got you covered. Plants love the sun, right? Weed is an exception. After it’s been removed from its literal roots, sunlight is actually one of weed’s worst enemies. This is why it’s a good idea to invest in some kind of quality storage container that will keep your weed covered and protected from sunlight. Another thing many people don’t realize about storing weed is that humidity control is also important. Too much moisture in the air around your plant can actually cause mold and mildew to grow. This, of course, makes it unsafe for consumption! Ideally, weed should be stored in a room with relative humidity levels hovering somewhere between about 59% and 63%. This does seem awfully precise, but indoor relative humidity in most homes is within this range. If you live in a dry climate, however, it may be worth investing in a storage container for your weed that can control humidity as well. Temperature is another factor that can affect the quality of your weed over time. Weed that is stored in a room that’s too hot will be prone to moisture that can cause the same problems mentioned above (mold and mildew growth). Meanwhile, weed that’s stored at temperatures that are too cold can dry out. Generally, the optimal temperature for storing weed is between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If this is the temperature you keep your home’s thermostat set to, great. If not, then it may be time to purchase a storage container for your weed that has its own temperature control settings. Oh, and with all this in mind…don’t leave your weed in your car! With proper storage, you can keep your weed safe (and enjoyable) to smoke for a long time, which can help save you money and trips to the dispensary. The key is keeping it at the right temperature and humidity level while avoiding exposure to sunlight as much as possible.Keep Weed Out of Direct Sunlight

The Bottom Line on Proper Weed Storage
Whether you use marijuana for medical reasons, recreational purposes, or a combination of both, you can usually expect to get high off any significant dosage. As much fun as this sensation and lifestyle choice may be, however, it can also pose certain challenges from time to time. Take a look at some common issues that might harsh your mellow, along with some smart tips for avoiding or correcting them. A miscalculated dose or stronger-than-usual strain can get you way higher than you planned or wanted. If you need to counteract the intense unpleasantness this situation can create, try taking some cannabidiol (CBD). This hemp derivative can often dampen the anxiety caused by too high a flight. Then sit back, relax, and practice slow, calm, deep breathing until you feel a little more in control. You may love the aroma of marijuana, but others in your life (such as your employer) may not share your enthusiasm. If you and your surroundings smell like weed, the first thing you should do is turn on a fan, open a window, and get that smoke out of your residence. air fresheners, scented candles, and spray odor removers can help complete the job. To remove your own personal weed odor, turn to perfume, body spray, mouthwash, and/or mint-flavored chewing gum. If you always show a pair of red eyes to the world, the world will have little trouble drawing the obvious conclusion as to the cause. Fortunately, you can find over-the-counter eye drops specifically formulated to reduce redness. If you don’t want to go this route, try applying a cold compress to reduce eye inflammation. As a last resort, keep a pair of sunglasses handy. It’s all too easy to get so “couch locked” from a high that you can’t decide how to enjoy your session, with the predictable result that you end up doing nothing of interest at all. Instead of wasting a potentially good time, plan your activity in advance, whether it involves listening to music, watching TV, or spending quality time with friends. Nothing tops the frustration of running out of weed or misplacing/breaking your gear. Again, the answer lies in thinking ahead by placing regular orders from your online provider and keeping extra papers, vapes, concentrates, or edibles on hand.

Paranoia can be a potential side effect to enjoying THC products. These feelings can be intense, but they do fade quickly. Not everyone experiences anxiety when enjoying cannabis, but it can happen to people even if they are usually alright even at high doses of THC. Here’s what you should know about cannabis and paranoia and how to take care of yourself while enjoying weed. Paranoia is a psychological condition where an individual believes that other people intend to do them harm even though there’s no evidence for this. Paranoia includes: Inability to trust Inability to relax Feeling things are being “controlled” Hypervigilance Paranoia can be exacerbated by material conditions like poverty, isolation, and medical conditions. Paranoia happens to everyone from time to time, but it can be made much more sudden and acute by THC. Medical research has demonstrated that cannabis can cause paranoia even though it is rare. Let’s take a look at the science behind paranoia. The research on this isn’t conclusive as of yet, but it appears that around 50% of individuals who enjoy THC products will experience paranoia at some time. This doesn’t mean that paranoia is a 50/50 every time you smoke, but that around half of all individuals might experience paranoia at some point. In one study, individuals who are informed ahead of time that THC can cause paranoia were actually more likely to be paranoid after smoking. It seems that there’s some expectation bias. Individuals in this study who were not told about this potential side effect had significantly lower rates of paranoia. There is some research that currently suggests a genetic or gendered difference for experiencing paranoia while enjoying cannabis products, but this research is in the very early stages. As of right now, it’s just pointing in a general direction but has yet to yield specific and actionable information. Here are four quick tips that you can use to minimize the risk of paranoia while enjoying cannabis. You should start your dosing low and slow. This helps prevent things from going too far, too fast. You can also add CBD to your cannabis products to mitigate paranoia and anxiety. The best thing you can do is take care of yourself while enjoying cannabis.

You’ve used up all your current stash of cannabis flower, and now you’re looking at what’s left — a collection of stems. Before you simply toss out those stems, however, you can’t help wondering whether you can get some value out of that debris, either from any THC lurking within it or through some other application. Let’s take a look at these often-neglected bits of the cannabis plant and their potential uses. Like so many varieties of flora, the cannabis plant consists of multiple parts. However, only the female plants produce the THC-rich buds and flowers that cannabis users actually smoke. Other parts of the plant include trichomes (hair-like appendages that contain aromatic terpenes) and the strong, fibrous stems that support the plant. Both stems and seeds are traditionally thought of as throw-away components that don’t create a high or provide useful medical benefits. You might feel tempted to smoke your weed stems, but you really shouldn’t. For starters, weed stems contain so little THC that you can’t derive any noticeable benefits from smoking them as you would flowers. To make the prospect even less appealing, smoked stems taste and smell acrid, like burnt wood chips. Smoking them can cause coughing jags, a sore throat, and pounding headaches. It’s little wonder, then, why experienced marijuana users have grown accustomed to tossing these parts of the plant out with the garbage. Just because you can’t get any benefit from smoking weed stems, that doesn’t mean these plant pieces hold no value at all. Many people happen to enjoy the flavor and aroma of cannabis, no matter what part of the plant it comes from. If you’re one of those individuals, you can always brew your stems into a tea along with your favorite kinds of tea leaves. You can use stems to make your own cannabis-infused butter. Simply bake and grind the stems and then combine them with melted butter, straining this mixture and letting it cool. You can also infuse alcoholic beverages with stems, season your favorite dishes with them, or even mix them with alcohol and let the liquid evaporate in a pan until you can scrape away the residual hash. Of course, the whole question of what to do with weed stems is academic if you don’t have the necessary weed.
