How To Preserve Cannabis Aroma

The number of people interested in learning all they can about cannabis is continuously growing. That’s why it’s surprising to note that there are others who know nothing about maintaining the integrity of their buds. Not on our watch though! 

If you belong to this category or just need to refresh your marijuana preservation skills, these 10 commandments will get you started:

 

You Shall Leave No Terp Behind 

Plastic is a sworn enemy of terpenes and cannabinoids as it degrades them. So, you know those cheap packaging your cannabis comes in from the supply chain? Do away with them already. 

Instead, get yourself an airtight glass mason jar and store your weed in it. Make sure you also keep the glass away from sunlight. This way, you can be sure of preserving even the tiniest bits of terps.

You Shall Not Store Strains Together

Yes, they’re all cannabis. But no, they weren’t all made equal. Just like dogs have breeds with unique attributes, marijuana strains are as particular as they come. And every true cannabis lover knows not to downplay their uniqueness by mixing them.

 

You Shall Never Condon Foul-Smelling Resin

Did you ever expect to preserve the aroma of your cannabis with dirty glasses and stinking resins? Please don’t tell us you did. While we know that keeping glasses clean isn’t a walk in the park, you really can’t eat your cake and have it too. 

So, what’s it going to be? Clean glasses and fresh-smelling cannabis or dirty glasses and foul-smelling resins? 

 

You Shall Burn No Terp Prematurely

Terpenes are nature’s gifts, and you must treat them with the dignity they deserve. This means that on no occasion are you allowed to burn them before their time. So, if you’re guilty of leaving your terps to the gruesome hands of light and heat before you’re ready to smoke them, this is your cue to stop.

Flower must always be kept cool and dry and in a dark place till it’s their time. And even at that, they must be dabbed at minimal temperatures.

 

You Shall Use a Grinder

Are you ready to smoke or vape your cannabis? Be sure always to grind it first. That’s because firing an unbroken nug with a Bic Lighter after only mashing robs you of 80% of an enjoyable smoking experience. Meanwhile, not only will grinding your weed with a grinder make for easier use, it also makes your cannabis less harsh, more consistent, and easier to carry.

 

You Shall Use a Hemp Wick

If you use wooden matches to light your cigar, using a tiny bit of hemp wick to light your weed shouldn’t be a problem. But if you don’t, you can always learn. Bic lighters contain butane that masks terpenes’ natural taste and leaves your buds with similar dull/sweet flavours.

 

You Shall Smell Your Weed

Did you know that a direct relationship exists between our noses and memories? Now you do. And since an exhilarating cannabis experience has everything to do with our sensory organs, what better way to keep the good feelings stamped in your memory than by smelling it? 

That’s right; we’re solidly behind the hippies and their belief in the real effects of aromatherapy. Besides, smelling your weed can help you choose the strains that are tailored to suit your needs and preferences.

 

You Shall Not Hoard Terps

We know that time passes quickly and can steal the opportunities you have to enjoy intense cannabis experiences in a heartbeat. So, when it comes to hoarding terps, the rule is simple—we don’t do that here. Being liberal and giving freely are the best ways to enjoy your terps.

 

You Shall Not Be a Terp Snob 

You must always be ready to promote the benefits of terps humbly and gracefully.

 

You Shall Always Seek More Knowledge

Best believe, the ten commandments aren’t meant to be hard on you. But maintaining the integrity and culture around cannabis is so important; we just can’t compromise on some stuff. However, we’re aware of the fact that no one can know everything. So, there’s always room to make mistakes, learn, and relearn.
