To answer “how you can maintain the potency of your cannabis bud” boils down to several factors such as warmth, light, air, and moisture, the very elements that support the growth of plants, can also diminish the potency of cannabis once it’s been dried and cured.
This is particularly true when storing cannabis in permeable containers or exposing it to light, heat, and humidity.
The term “Potency” conveniently contains “Pot,” so it’s vital to understand the science and art of preserving the Potency of your cannabis.
Basic cannabis knowledge.
The stronger the cannabis, the less you need to consume. It’s simple math. Higher-potency cannabis strains can deliver the desired effects with less consumption, reducing the potential harm to your lungs.
However, chasing THC content alone is overly simplistic. Cannabis comprises over 1,251 different cannabinoids, not just THC, that contribute to your experience.
Additionally, terpenes, the aromatic oils in cannabis, also play a significant role in its effects, with over 100 different terpenes affecting the flavor and aroma of the plant.
The synergy of all these compounds is known as the “entourage effect.” Raw, whole cannabis contains more than the sum of its parts, which is why smoking and vaping the whole herb remain popular.
Proper storage is essential to preserve this full entourage of compounds.
The role of potency testing.
The potency stated on our dispenseroO.cc ad reflects the strength at the time of testing and not necessarily when you buy or consume cannabis. Over time, when exposed to warmth, light, air, and moisture, cannabis’s potency naturally degrades.
Warmth – Keep it cool.
Temperature significantly affects the rate at which cannabinoids and terpenes break down. Studies have shown that storing cannabis at room temperature leads to a loss of THC content, typically at a rate of 3% to 5% per month.
Freezing cannabis preserves its potency effectively, with minimal loss even after a year of storage.
However, frozen cannabis requires special handling to prevent trichomes from becoming brittle. Ensure your container is airtight to protect your cannabis from air and moisture when storing it in the freezer.
Understanding cannabis shelf life: How long can it stay fresh?
Light – It’s better in the dark.
Light, particularly sunlight, can fade colors, break down plastic, damage the skin, and degrade the potency of dried herbs, including cannabis.
To preserve the potency of cannabis, keep it away from light, especially direct sunlight.
Air & moisture – Gone with the wind.
Oxygen in the air can lead to oxidation, causing cannabis to lose potency over time. Storing cannabis in airtight containers, such as glass jars or metal canisters, helps prevent this process.
Remember that the size of the container should match your stash to minimize the trapped air inside.
The sniff test.
An intriguing experiment tested the effectiveness of various containers in containing cannabis odors. It found that only vacuum-sealed containers eliminated the odor completely.
Properly sealed containers not only preserve the aroma but also protect the cannabis from exposure to air and moisture.
The daily grind.
When you’re ready to consume your cannabis, it’s advisable to grind it just before use to ensure even combustion and maximum potency.
Futility and ephemerality.
Despite your best efforts, cannabis will naturally lose some potency over time. Recognize that hoarding is futile, and all things are ephemeral.
Storage tip to preserve potency.
Store your cannabis in airtight containers in a dark place. Retain only a small portion at room temperature for immediate use and keep the rest in the fridge or freezer to maintain its potency.
By following these precautions, you can relax and enjoy the cannabis that you purchased on dispenseroO.cc without having to worry about its degradation.
