No matter how long you’ve been toking, there are always new things to try. And modern technology keeps on inventing better methods for consumption.

Many of you have been enjoying cannabis for some time. And some of you may even consider yourself experts on all things weed, but how many of these expert marijuana hacks do you know?

You know that ancient proverb: You can’t teach old dogs new tricks? Don’t believe it. No matter how long you’ve been toking, there are always new things to try. And modern technology keeps on inventing better methods for consumption.

Here are a few tips worth checking out:

Spice Jars Make Great Nug Containers

Do you have an empty cinnamon jar or garlic powder jar? You know the kind that have two separate lids, one with little holes and another main lid? They make great containers, especially if they are glass.

These little containers are excellent for keeping your nugs fresh longer. They act as a MacGuyverish humidor. Here’s how:

First, cut a piece of paper into a strip about 2 inches wide by 6 inches long and wrap it firmly around one pencil. Affix the tape on the paper so it will remain shaped as a tube. Remove the pencil. Carefully fill the paper tube with kief. Use the other pencil to tightly pack the kief inside the tube.

A Curling Iron Is Not Just For Your Hair

Now that you have little kief pellets, you can now make some homemade hash using a hair iron. Yep, a simple curling iron will come in handy.

Using pressure and heat, you can press kief into hashish. All you need is kief, parchment paper and a hair iron. Place the kief inside folded parchment paper. Apply pressure and heat with the iron for about 5-10 seconds. The kief will compress into a more solid form. Break off small pieces and smoke it or vape it or add to tea.

Take A Walk On The Mild Side: Tolerance Holidays

Nearly every regular consumer of cannabis will notice that his or her tolerance change over time. That comfortable euphoric feeling gets harder to experience. Maybe it’s time for  a “Tolerance Holiday.”

Tolerance Holidays, also known as T-breaks, allow your body and mind to re-calibrate. If you have been consuming cannabis for a prolonged period of time,  your system becomes desensitized to its psychoactive effects. When you constantly put THC in your body, the receptors that bind to it become compromised. Give your system a break.

If possible, 30 days is optimal for the T-break, but even a week will do.

Added bonus: You’ll have a few extra bucks in your bank account.
