Weas, you seem to be saying that we should just have an attitude of f it, I'm gonna just surrender to all the toxins. We all make choices every day: I choose to drive my car, I should wear sun screen but I don't, etc. But I keep as many poisons out of my house as I can, and I don't use commercial brands of just about anything because of all the perfumes, dyes, and harmful chemicals. I eat organic and I dress in cotton and linen. I'm freakin way far from perfect, I'm not preaching, but I do want to say that we should make conscious choices about these things. I choose to use the internet and grow weed, and use extra energy on the latter, and that's one of the reasons I invested in solar panels. It's a luxury, I know, but I do try to minimize use of plastic and reduce my carbon footprint as I can.
Ha ha, no not at all, alltatup. Don't get me wrong mate. I don't like plastic at all and try to keep it out of my life as much as possible. But I think that any toxins attached to my bud, from being in a plastic jar for a while, must be so minuscule, compared to all the many many other sources in life, that for all intents and purposes they don't exist, in a relative/scientific sense.
You'd totally laugh if you saw my lifestyle and the context I'm speaking from. I live way up in north in the bush, in a cabin, like a Neanderthal, hunt, fish, gather and grow most of my food, and generally live as close to the earth as I possibly can.
I prefer glass jars and metal canisters for curing. They make up 95% of my curing jar collection. The plastic ones are mostly for overflow when I run out of out of large containers. They are left over from something or other. They're here, they work well, they never break, and so I use them.
Another option is to send them to the garbage dump. In this place 'recycling' plastic means shipping it 1000 miles south of here to melt it down.
It's about finding a practical balance. I much prefer non-plastic but it's a spiritual choice more than a health concern. So if someone asked me if food grade plastic containers are ok- I would say they are fine.
I just meant... what I said the first time.
Not what you said it 'seems' like I might be saying.

Why thank you. They don't have McDonald's here, lol. Anyway I said fuck it and I boycotted it back when I was in my twenties living in the city, so over 20 years ago and I haven't been back in the door. I'm kind of moralistic with that sort of stuff- like Monsanto owning GH- they're not getting my money if I can help it. It's kind of fun- blacklisting a company like that- not that there's a chance in hell they'll notice. But I do.
I do the same thing with seed banks that aren't genuinely friendly and fair. Too many good ones out there to waste time and money on jerks.

I think we choked down those various food products because we didn't have any choice, that is how they were packaged. But with our precious weed we do have a choice to make it healthier......Just my thoughts.....for what they are worth....Have a great day...Smoke Up.....

Sorry to reply only on that single comment you made about "having no choice" in what we eat!! I totally agree we should store our weed better but having no choice over food is just plain marketing drama!Yes you can walk down the chocolate alley and buy the whole row of snickers cause you had a bowl before you went shopping...Or you can go in the fruit section and munch a dozen bananas down...Healthy munchies are the best and build less guilt trips
