What would you have done?

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.
  
  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.
  
  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)
  
  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
- That was gonna be my question. So how would you offload it before it goes bad?
  
  Does weed go 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.
  
  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.
  
  Speak for yourself pal
  
  That's not true. Weed is an organic matter and it decay.
  
  It can last for several years after harvest if preserved properly (jarred for curing and occasionally burped)
  
  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.
- Make butter and freeze it
- 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
  
  fresh flower doesn't keep very long
  Properly dried and then shielded from light, heat and moisture, sure it will.
  
  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
- 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.
- My dad makes balm for his arthritis
  
  oh, does he apply/rub it on his back or joints ? what kind of effects does this have ? I've never heard of it
  
  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.
  
  Alright. I might try this, thanks
  
  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.
