When you Americans get to buy buds from medical dispeseries, does it have a use by date. Or shelf life. Maybe a stupid question. How long can you hoard weed for?
No sir, if there are use by dates ... It is a profiteering method.
After the chop, with a proper cure of at least 90 days, the weed will continue to get a little better up until about 9 months- a full year.
At this point, slow degradation of THC converts to CBN... Which means less psychoactive properties and more sedative properties.
IMO/E flowers are at their prime at about 6 months after harvesting. (Proper cure is essential) or your flowers that once smelled and tasted amazing will now smell and taste of hay or grass.
This is the primary reason many dispensaries and unscrupulous growers chop down their plants, dry it for week or less and it's packed for distribution, they either don't know how to cure properly or they simply don't care.

I too never ever allow my supply to get any lower than 2-3 oz, you never know what is going to happen.. I actually used to start a bit of panicking at about 4 oz
But since I started Vaping, I'm not nearly as worried, in fact I got approximately 2&1/2 oz now..... And this is the lowest I've had since 2013.
I've given away at least 2 oz this past month to my friend with back problems, dude works from 7am to near midnight 6 days a week.
He always always tries to compensate, but damn it, you're my damn friend brother, no way am I charging anyone that is suffering from any condition for something that I love to do.
The passion I have for this plant, and having witnessed the relief it brings to myself and others in pain, is payment enough for me.
