Hacks to make marijuana last longer

Inflation is falling, but people are always wanting more for their dollar. Shrinkfaltion, where products shrink but price stays the same, has hit Doritos, Gatoraide, and cereal in addition to hot dogs, burgers, and pizza! Although cannabis is cheaper than alcohol, you still want to find value for money. Here are some tricks to extend the shelf life of marijuana.

As marijuana not only becomes more mainstream, it’s also becoming a go-to destination for those looking to adjust their lifestyle. Those under 40 are more likely to use cannabis than alcohol. As consumer demand increases, so does the choice of more affordable options.

reward programs

Some legal pharmacies have regular rewards programs that let you know about discounts, sales, and so on. It’s not a bad idea to sign up and let them come up with ways to save you money.

edibles

Edibles can be inexpensive. Gummy candies are all the rage and you can get a bundle for the same price as a pre-roll or even a bloom. Even though making edibles is a weed-heavy project, you may end up saving some money. The edible high can last for more than three hours, which is said to be longer than the high from smoking.

microdose

Microdosing can help you get better results while also spreading out your weed. If you microdose with glass jars, your results will be even better as you will get a more accurate understanding of the amount of weed you are consuming and consuming while enjoying the high.

Use a bong

Bongs allow you to consume all the smoke that comes from burning cannabis. And the amount of cannabis used to make one joint could be used to smoke multiple bong hits. If you’ve ever used a bong, you’ve probably noticed that it packs a powerful punch compared to joints and pipes. The amount of cannabis you would roll into a small joint yourself is probably equivalent to the amount of cannabis you would need for about five bong hits. Therefore, smoking your cannabis in a bong is an easy way to conserve weed. And the joints burn constantly, resulting in a lot of bud loss.

Think Costco. Usually when shopping, the larger the order, the more you save. Before buying in bulk, keep in mind how much you are consuming, spending, and how long it takes to consume. Once you have these numbers handy, go to your favorite pharmacy and buy what you need. To make it last, here are 8 ways to store marijuana properly and fresh.

While a kief catcher won’t save you a lot of weed, it could add some dimension to your smoke and give you something you don’t typically use. Kief is the tiny, sticky crystals that cover the cannabis flower and usually have potent effects. Kief is strong and can be used to top a bowl or joint, making the high much stronger, which in turn helps the joint or bowl last longer.

Proper storage

No matter how gross the taste, there always comes a time when you’re ready to use leftovers. Have an airtight mason jar ready and toss in your roaches, stalks, and small bits of leftover bud. You’ll be glad to have this cockroach bowl when you have nothing else to smoke. Make sure you store it in a dry and dark place to prolong your weed’s smokeability.
