Weed boxes, stash jars, & storage containers

Leafly's guide to how to keep your weed fresh and how to re-hydrate dried out weed

Flower storage covers the containers and inserts made to keep cannabis buds from drying out, going flat in aroma, or getting crushed. Flower is a plant product, and it degrades on exposure to light, heat, oxygen, and swings in humidity. Storage products slow all four of those down. Common forms include: airtight glass jars with gasketed lids; UV-blocking jars in amber, violet, or opaque ceramic; vacuum-seal and one-way valve containers; two-way humidity packs sized by gram capacity; child-resistant pop-top vials; and stash boxes that hold jars and grinders together. Jar volume is listed in milliliters or ounces, and buds should nearly fill the jar, because less headspace means less trapped air. Humidity packs are labeled by gram weight, and the pack size has to match the amount of flower in the jar to hold a steady reading.

Jars, humidity packs, and stash boxes often sit near the flower on a dispensary shelf. Use Leafly to check licensed dispensaries in your area, and check delivery options near you as well. Selection varies by state and by shop.
