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?

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

    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)

    Butter kept in the freezer can be kept indefinitely.

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
