A stash jar is a specific type of container used for storing cannabis. It’s designed to keep cannabis fresh and potent over time by protecting it from light, air, and moisture, which can degrade the quality of the cannabis.
Design and Materials
Stash jars come in a variety of sizes and materials, each with its own benefits:
- Glass: Glass is the most common material for stash jars due to its non-porous nature, which prevents odors from escaping and air from entering. Dark-colored or UV-protected glass is particularly beneficial as it blocks harmful light that can degrade the cannabis.
- Metal: Metal stash jars can be very durable and are often used for travel due to their robustness. However, they can sometimes impart a metallic taste to the cannabis if not lined with a neutral material.
- Plastic: While plastic stash jars are often cheaper and more lightweight, they can sometimes leach chemicals into the cannabis and are generally not as airtight as glass or metal jars.
Usage
To use a stash jar, simply place your cannabis inside and seal the lid. Some stash jars feature airtight seals or even vacuum seals for maximum freshness. It’s best to store your stash jar in a cool, dark place to further protect your cannabis from light and heat.
Benefits
Using a stash jar to store your cannabis can have several benefits:
- Freshness: Airtight stash jars can keep your cannabis fresh for longer by protecting it from air and moisture.
- Potency: By protecting your cannabis from light and heat, stash jars can help maintain the potency of your cannabis.
- Odor Control: Stash jars can help contain the strong smell of cannabis, which can be beneficial for discretion.
