Glass jar vs plastic containers?

Each half-gallon Ball jar should contain a 60-gram pack of 62% Boveda.

The speaker stated that there's no real advantage in using both a vacuum and an O2 absorber simultaneously in the same container, as both essentially perform the same function of eliminating oxygen. The speaker indicated that they've learned a lot over time and now store their cannabis supply in vacuum-sealed mason jars, which also contain humidity packs, inside a mini fridge dedicated solely to cannabis. They currently have a diverse collection of 15 different strains of Sativa and Sativa Hybrid. When they acquire new cannabis, they process it by placing it in a mason jar, adding a humidity pack, and applying a vacuum seal before storing it in the back of their fridge. The speaker noted that they started using the vacuum method just a month ago, but even without it, they've maintained some cannabis from January 2023 that has retained its original smell, taste, and potency.

I have utilized both plastic and another material for storing cannabis, with plastic typically being a temporary solution. Is there a superior option, or are they equally effective? Does anyone else have thoughts on this matter?

I utilize childproof bags with dual zips, and I don't ever resort to heat sealing them.

I purchased eight glass jars of one gallon capacity for my harvest and another four glass jars of half-gallon size for any remnants post-vaping. Additionally, I own a compact plastic vacuum-sealed jar for storing my ground material, which typically lasts me for a couple of days.

If you were to use an electric vacuum sealer on a Mason jar containing cannabis, would it extract the moisture from the cannabis? I currently use 62% RH humidity packs.
Could using an oxygen absorption pack be more effective than vacuum packing?

Consider using UV glass containers or three-gallon black plastic buckets equipped with screw-on Gamma lids.

I utilize dual-zipped, child-resistant pouches and never resort to heat sealing them.

The question posed is whether using a Mason jar electric vacuum sealer on a jar of cannabis would remove its moisture. The person asking also mentions using 62% RH humidity packs.
They speculate whether an oxygen absorption pack might be more effective than vacuum packing. They note that both methods remove oxygen, but the humidity packet would ensure the bud stays appropriately moist. The effect of using an oxygen absorber is likened to purging the jar with nitrogen.
Both a vacuum sealer and oxygen absorbers have been used for long-term storage, over a year in duration. Both methods have been observed to be effective, as indicated by the color of the bud and trichomes. For extended storage, the oil is extracted and preserved in the freezer.
However, for short-term storage of under a few months, the use of vacuum sealers or oxygen absorbers is deemed unnecessary.

The question is whether using an electric vacuum sealer on a jar of cannabis would remove its moisture. This individual utilizes 62% RH humidity packs. They also consider if an oxygen absorption pack might work better than vacuum packing.
It's deemed unnecessary to use both a vacuum and an O2 absorber on the same jar, since both methods eliminate oxygen. However, the humidity pack would maintain the right moisture level for the cannabis. The effect of an O2 absorber is akin to purging the jar with nitrogen.
For long-term storage of over a year, this person has utilized both a vacuum sealer and O2 absorbers, with apparent success as indicated by the color of the cannabis and its trichomes. For such extended storage, they prefer to extract the oil and freeze it.
For short-term storage of a few months or less, they don't find it necessary to use either a vacuum sealer or O2 absorbers.

For me, it's glass.

The individual once used mason jars, but has since switched to one pound and one-fourth pound grove bags. These bags successfully maintain a 52% humidity level for the cannabis for up to eight months. The person highly recommends these bags, given you correctly dry your cannabis beforehand. Once you place the dried cannabis in the bag, heat seal it, store it in a cool, dark location, and then open it after about two months for a fresh seal. This message was sent from a mobile forum app.

The text discusses the speaker's evolving methods for storing cannabis. They have progressed to keeping their supply in vacuum-sealed mason jars with humidity packs, all stored in a dedicated refrigerator. They maintain a selection of 15 different Sativa/Sativa Hybrid strains, each processed and stored in order of age. The speaker mentions the recent addition of vacuum sealing to their process. They also note that they have some strains from January 2023 that, even without vacuum sealing, still maintain their original aroma, taste, and effects. The speaker then humorously mentions their collection of 15 jars and a few cake tins containing around five strains, admitting they have yet to implement a rotation system. They express interest in the vacuum sealing method and gratitude for the information.

The lifespan of glass jars is indefinite.

In what way is plastic or glass superior? I haven't seen any distinction between them. Even if a small number of molecules from the plastic seep into the marijuana, I don't see how I could ever consume enough in a single lifetime for it to be significant. However, if it were possible, it's already too late.

I previously used mason jars, but I've switched to using grove bags in both one pound and quarter pound sizes. These bags have done a great job of maintaining a 52% humidity level for my cannabis for a period of eight months. I'm really fond of these grove bags.

The durability of glass jars is endless.
