What degrades it
| Enemy | What it does | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Breaks down cannabinoids fastest of all | Opaque container, or a dark cupboard |
| Air | Oxidises THC into CBN over time | Airtight, and not a jar half-empty for months |
| Heat | Drives off the volatile terpenes | Room temperature, away from appliances |
| Humidity | Too high grows mould; too low turns it to dust | Around 60% relative humidity |
| Handling | Knocks the trichomes off | Handle by the stem, not the flower |
Why old flower feels sleepier
THC oxidises into CBN as it ages, and CBN is associated with heaviness rather than headiness. Nothing has gone wrong; the profile has simply moved.
The non-negotiable
Store everything locked and out of reach of children and pets. Edibles in particular look exactly like the confectionery they are modelled on.
