What to do with weed that you will not be smoking for a month or two ?
Sealed glass jar, leave it in a zip lock, tuperwear, lidless ceramic teapot ?
Also on that note can you improve the "cure" of grass by ageing it ?

Get it out of plastic for sure! A sealed glass jar in a dark, not to warm, place is best. If your weed is kind of wet you can cure it by opening the jar for a few minuets each day for a few weeks, then a few times a week is fine. If you are going to store it for longer then a few months, freezing it is a good idea!

Certainly not zip locks !! they have an electric charge which attracts Trichs

Airtight glass jar is the best. Plastic is porous, so even "airtight" plastic containers are not 100% airtight. Let alone ziplock bags.
Also, keep it in the dark while in storage!! Very important, as the sun rays slowly destroy the actives.
I heard from someone who had some nice cheese buds in a glass jar for over a year. He was worried they would have lost some flavor, but he says if anything they actually tasted better, more of a deep 'spicy' aroma as opposed to 'grassy'.
In my hands, weed never lasts so long, so I don't have first hand experience

But whatever I'm not currently smoking, I do keep in a glass jar (still in the baggy as I don't wanna mix strains together)
