Glass jars for me, with unused lids.

Some jars that have had food in them and their associated lids can retain odor (particularly the lids). I use regular canning jars from the supermarket, with the two piece lids.

Plastic: some strains can lose their taste and smell in plastic. Chronic is one such strain, according to the original breeder.

Different words that mean different things but are pronounced in exactly the same way. They are also spelt differently.

For example.. 'Usually it is the weed that reeks the most that wreaks the most havoc.'

I may not be Scottish but I'd dare bet that the correct word is "reek" if the meaning is "to stink".

To "wreak havoc" is the only example I can think of (mentioned before by gronin who beat me to it, goddammit)... I'd say it's a fossil word (an obsolete word which remains in use because it is contained within an idiom still in use, you can wikipedia that shit). Examples: to and fro, run amok, sleight of hand.

Anyway... I just smoked a lot of weed and I thought I'd share. I guess I'm an English nerd

PS: that last sentence made me realize how much you have to repeat "I" in some English sentences... it sounds a bit conceited.
