Check out Grove bags. They will maintain your herb at the proper humidity and will cure your weed as good as jars.
I still use glass jars but moreso out of habit than anything else. I have a cool dark place for them to reside.

Why do laboratory technicians use glass beakers, glass test tubes, glass everything and not SS?
Same reason we use glass. Its pure and doesn't contaminate the contents, stainless steel does, big time.Flower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan. Lighting and climate automated. Hand watering.
Veg Cupboards: Two 4x2x6H cupboards. SF2000 Evo in one SF7000 in other. Climate controlled and automated. Hand watering
Aeroponics Low Pressure Bucket: 20W LED. 5 clones & 20W LED 11 clones
Lights: Mars Hydro FC-E1200W, SF-7000, SF-2000 evo in flower room.
Medium: Coco/perlite, 7.2gal pots, no drains
Current Grow: 5 x Photos Franklin's Orange Zkittles x Sour Diesel in flower room, 3 Franklin's White Widow x Sour Diesel Clones, 13 x Orange ZkittleZ x Sour Diesel clones in Aeroponics buckets x 2.

Why glass? Because it's easier to sterilize, stands up to more classes of chemicals and is generally cheaper than SS.

Why glass? Because it's.....
Ask a metallurgist.
A bit of googling shows
"Stainless steel is a typical contact material used during the manufacturing, shipping, and storage process for biologic products. Stainless steel commonly used in biopharmaceutical applications is of the grade 316L and is an alloy containing mainly iron, nickel, chromium with minor amounts of manganese and vanadium. Stainless steel is a major source for metal leachables, especially if the surface of the equipment or tank is not properly treated. The main leachable components are iron, chromium and nickel. Several fold higher levels of metals such as iron and nickel have been shown to leach into a liquid formulation after storage at room temperature in unpassivated compared to passivated stainless steel vessels [12]."
