Pot Storage Semi Long Term

Well, I’m not talking about years here, but say six months to a year. And when I talk about storage I’m not talking about laboratory conditions, or ideal conditions, or anything like that. I’m talking about average conditions, in other words you by, say a quarter of an ounce from your local hook up, it comes in a plastic baggie, and you decide to leave it in that plastic baggie until you use it all. Again, nothing special, in terms of conditions of buying it, just your average high end dealer bud. So the first question, is how long does it last, just without doing anything at all just leaving it in a little baggie?
Second, I have Mason jars from my recent mushroom growing activities, so I might as well ask if I’m better off storing most of the bud in an airtight mason jar, maybe with a desiccant, and only putting small amounts in a baggie that I might use over the course of a week or two or maybe a month?

I'd say a Mason jar, or even in the freezer if you are not smokjngnit and want to keep it fresh until you do break into it.

Its not that I'm not going to be smoking it. I just don't ever like to get baked. Not on Shrooms, weed, anything. So as a result, I don't go through a ton. But one of my buddies has a connection with some good discounts on slightly more volume.
I bought 0.2 ounces from him about a month and a half ago and still have about 1/3 left. But if I can save money by buying 1/4 or 1/2 ounce, how long do you guys think it will last if I store the bulk of it under the following conditions:
1. Just stock in the little baggie, taking what I need? 2. In a mason jar, with a desiccant and the two lids both on? 3. In the freezer? (though I'm not really crazy about this option, I would consider it) 4. Some other way?
I want to reiterate that, while I don't smoke huge amounts, I would assume 1/4 ounce would last me a few months, while 1/2 or an ounce might last me a year before I consumed it all.

The freezer is good for keeping it from mould or drying out too much. I'm sure you will be safe with a Mason jar and not in direct, over time that can degrade thc as well.
Maybe if you get a 1/2 oz put 1/4 in the freezer double bag and push the air out of the bag and judt keep the other in a jar. I'm sure you will be fine with just a jar tho.

I’ve got some cannabis that has been sitting untouched in an amber brown glass jar for over year and a half and it’s perfectly fine. Maybe a tad dry if I’m being a stickler. But overall basically the same as when I got it. It’s kept out of the sun and in a room that stays between 60-78*f.

This is what I have been thinking, to be honest. That barring storage for like 2 or more years, that the "baggie" is probably good for about 6 months (my opinion injected here), as long as they aren't stored in any sort of a damp environment. Longer than a few months, in an air tight, closed mason jar with a desiccant, I should be good for a year or a little more. I also assume that if I were to store anything over two years, that freezing in a freezer bag that I squeezed almost all the air out, would be best.

Thanks for the info. I'm planning on avoiding week for a few months and would be bummed if my supply went bad before I restarted

I made cannaghee butter out of my old herb, I swear that stuff is atleast 2+ years old and I’ve just had it in my possession for 1.5 years. It turned out to make a very strong cannabis infused ghee butter, the effects feel pleasant on the body. Ate to much after making it at first it bc I thought it might be weak, and it ended up putting me to sleep for 12 hours 
So, kept in the right conditions it seems your bud can last quite a while.
