Yo guys , ive seen alot of you keep your stash in those airtight jars that latch and seal. I think their called mason jars? Anyways I was wondering where you guys got em from? What kinda store would carry them?

 

Jake

Head shops, maybe a few gas stations.

i dont call the jars with the latches mason jars, to me mason hars have a 2 piece cap; a top with a rubber edging to seal and the band to hold the top on. below shows 4 mason jars, 2 with the tops off. the one on the right is the kind of jar you are talking about i think, tho really big (i dont use that one to actually hold nuggets). i think the mason jars seal much better than the latch ones. the grocery store near me has all these sizes of mason jars and more, they are real cheap usually like $9 for a case of 12 (the only sell them by the case). they are used for canning fruits and stuff so at whatever stores sell taht stuff, i have also seen them sold one at a time at craft stores. i have tons of these laying around, they are great and reusable and very cheap to replace if they get too old or broken.

also, on a side note shutter, what makes you want to come to a marijuana board if you have never smoked marijuna?

I get mine from the grocery store, just ask them if they carry canning jars. Or maybe wal mart or something

yeah thats what i was thinking. Would you all agree this is a good way to keep bud for maybe a month at max? Just long enough for me to smoke what i have and stay fresh or?

Yeah, they'll work pretty good, just make sure to keep it out of the light. I tape a piece of black paper around it to keep all light out, especially if you're going to hve it for a while.

Those mason jars work really well...I also think the two-part lid gives a better seal than the latch ones...

Either way, they are a good way if you're gonna hold your bud for over a week or two...

If you have an airtight seal you can keep things fresh for 5-10-20 years. I put a banana peel in a mason jar and it stayed yellow for 8 years, just like the day it was peeled. If you have Zero new air then whats inside becomes a frozen state. Bannana peels as you know turn deep black in in 12 hours yet this one I put in a small mason jar was as yellow as could be in year eight. If you don't beleave me give it a try. Weed in a small jar will not grow 1 micron of mold or age one second even if its been in there for 5 years. The key is the abosolute absences of oxygen.

they sell them at the hardware store i work at. They are "canning" jars, they're not specifically made for marijuana or anything, so i doubt a head shop would have them.
