How long is my weed good for? Marijuana-usguide to storing cannabis
At some point in our cannabis consumption, weâve all asked ourselves, âHow long is my weed good for?â Maybe youâve found a few nugs tucked in your winter jacket from last yearâs ski trip, or when harvesting a medical crop you may need a way to safely store the excess buds until youâre ready to consume the fruits of your labor.
Like a fine wine cellar or whiskey barrel, properly dried and cured cannabis is best when kept in a cool, dark place. While there is no steadfast expiration date for cannabis, if you store it well it should last about six months to one year before losing considerable potency and flavor.
However, before you spark up that old weed, there are a few key elements to consider when storing cannabis for any extended period.
Whatâs the best way to store weed?
Ideal temperatures for storing cannabis
Mildew and other molds on cannabis and other organic matter thrive in temperatures between 77° and 86° F, so basic precautions of keeping your cannabis in a cool, dark place will go a long way. Excessive heat can dry out the cannabinoids and terpenes that have taken months to develop. When these essential oils get too dry along with plant material, it can result in a hot, harsh smoke.
Lower temperatures also slow the process of decarboxylation of cannabinoids, the process in which THCA converts into the intoxicating cannabinoid THC. THC eventually degrades into CBN, a cannabinoid with different effects and properties. Additionally, warm air holds more moisture than cold air, which brings us to the next consideration.

Humidity factors for cannabis storage
Humidity control is paramount to keeping mildew and other mold contaminants away from your cannabis. Keeping your cannabis stored in a controlled environment with the proper relative humidity (RH) ranges can be a bit of a balancing act, but the general consensus is to keep cannabis between 59% and 63% RH when stored to maintain and enhance color, consistency, aroma, and flavor.
