Why Marijuana Is Illegal in the First Place
Marijuana has countless medicinal applications (including juicing!) and has lead to plenty of good times. Nonetheless, marijuana is illegal for reasons that seemingly make no sense. Marijuana is not associated with overdoses like opioids are, people's behavior under the influence of marijuana is not as reckless as their behavior when under the influence of alcohol, and the criminal associations with marijuana is a direct consequence of it being framed as criminal. Unfortunately, like too many of the laws and social mores in America, the criminalization has more to do with maintaining existing power structures than with protecting the public's general interest.

Best Ways to Store Weed for an Extended Period of Time
Nobody wants to spend their hard-earned money on bud, only to have it dry out and turn brittle. It isn't necessary, anyway, given how easy it is to store weed for an extended period of time. The only time you risk crispy, crumbling nugs is when you don't store it anywhere in particular. It's technically okay to keep your stash in a Ziploc bag in the short term, but ideally, you should put it somewhere safer and more airtight than a plastic bag—and no, it won't cost a fortune to snag the perfect vessel. Still don't think you need to do anything special? You should realize that weed lasts for up to three years when you learn how to keep your stash fresh. Using above-average methods, it can stay fresh for even longer. Every toker has a favorite method and there are many tips for storing marijuana, but the long-term storage options listed here are at the top of the heap.
