What do you do with so much weed if you can't sell it? There's some preservation method? Like weed jam or weed pickles?

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

like the other person said, concentrates. That's why concentrates are so big in the cannabis market, fresh flower doesn't keep very long or sell at the kind of volume that edibles or pens made from concentrates do

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 10 hours ago

Dried flower stays good for a VERY long time. I myself found some forgotten buds in those plastic orbit containers. Was few years old, still tasted and felt like fresh

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

fresh flower doesn't keep very long

Properly dried and then shielded from light, heat and moisture, sure it will.

Make weed butter and leave it in the freezer. Use it to make mind blowing edibles whenever you want. Keeps for about a year.

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Butter kept in the freezer can be kept indefinitely.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorta. Anything fatty tends to pick up flavors from the environment. Now, in the cold, those chemical reactions are slowed down, but they're not stopped. If you leave it there for a while, it'll pick up off flavors. Still generally safe to eat, but you won't like it.

[–] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Store it in an airtight container and you won't have that problem.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

How airtight is airtight? Cheap Ziploc bags or Tupperware won't be enough in the long run. Maybe if you used a pressure sealed preservatives jar. Those will need to be heated up in a pressure cooker, so butter will melt and reconstitute.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Huh, I've had some for longer and it hasn't turned yet. I guess I'm lucky (or my freezer is colder or idk)

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I haven't made weed butter, but id imagine it should keep for a really long time if there's a layer of endistrubed butter on top. Covering stuff in fat is an age old method of preservation.

I make it in the pressure cooker so I'm pretty confident about cooking out the pathogens

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Concentrates. Easy and safe ones to make at home are bubble hash or green dragon. One of my friends used to make BHO (butane honey oil), which can be quite dangerous.

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Make butter and freeze it

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That was gonna be my question. So how would you offload it before it goes bad?

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)
[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It gets dry and unpleasant to smoke, but the "quality" is actual drug doesn't really go bad or expire.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It can go moldy, though. Always check your weed with a UV light, especially if it’s not from a legal dispensary, you don’t wanna smoke mold.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 16 points 2 days ago

I left some weed in the balcony for a month and then tried to smoke it and fucked up my throat and gave me the shittest high I ever had.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

Speak for yourself pal

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 2 days ago

That's not true. Weed is an organic matter and it decay.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

It can last for several years after harvest if preserved properly (jarred for curing and occasionally burped)

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Yea the cannibanoids break down in heat and make the high less fun and more zombie/sleepy after a year or two. There is also risk of mold or going too dry depending on storage conditions.

My dad makes balm for his arthritis

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh, does he apply/rub it on his back or joints ? what kind of effects does this have ? I've never heard of it

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Joints (fingers, elbows), lower back. Relieves pain and symptoms. Plus it's just made with coconut oil so you can actually bake with it, lol.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Alright. I might try this, thanks

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One thing to note is that when you make it the smell is pungent. Your neighbours will know and your house may smell for a while.

There are many websites with instructions on how to make it.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago

Thanks. I made some butter once, I don't remember it being smelly. It was a small quantity though. And I didn't use coconut oil but actual butter, although I doubt this would change anything.
