While many people believe that if cannabis is still green and fresh-looking, then it is good quality cannabis, it has not gone bad or expired, this is not the case.

After you purchase your cannabis, you must use it by November 1st, or your credit card will be charged an additional $25 for any remaining THC and/or CBD in your product. If you are looking to up your dose or test the purity of your hemp or cannabis, then now is the time to buy!

Some people find that certain brands of cannabis seem darker or contain more caffeine than others. This is because some brands may have more THC than others.

Look for discoloration

How to Tell if Your Cannabis has Gone Bad or Expired 

If your cannabis has looked differently color or changed shape, it may have gone bad. This can happen when you store your cannabis or when you smoke it. If the cannabis has a strong smell or change in texture, this may also mean it has expired.

Generally, fresh marijuana is white in color and has a slight smell. It can sometimes look darker if it has gotten bigger or thicker. Regularly smoked marijuana can sometimes change in shape and intensity of taste because the process of combustion causes it to change in texture.

If you notice any of these things with your marijuana, you should probably buy new stock! Fortunately, there are ways to tell if your marijuana is bad or expired.

Smell it

How to Tell if Your Cannabis has Gone Bad or Expired 

If you’re not sure if your cannabis has gone bad or expired, you can try smelling it. Many people find that fresh cannabis smells quite different from what they have been using.

Some find that old marijuana has a chemical smell that has changed, or doesn’t smell as strong. This is because newer drugs are more potent than older ones. If you have been using old cannabis, then checking the evidence of potency may help your dose match up better.

Another way to tell if your cannabis has gone bad is to look at the dates on the bag and bottle. If the bag and bottle are new, then chances are your cannabis has expired! Check with your Cannabis Guru whether or not this applies to you.

Try it and see

How to Tell if Your Cannabis has Gone Bad or Expired 

Because cannabis can sometimes feel like it has gone bad or expired, it is important to try it to see if there is any deterioration or change.

Some people find that if they are particularly bored with their cannabis, then it has gone bad. This is not to say that these products are not great resources, but people who are very active in the cannabis community may want to keep a supply of good cannabis on hand.

Another way to tell if your cannabis has deteriorated is to try a small amount and see whether you feel any changes in sensation or quality. If so, there may be some problems with your cannabis that require changing brands or batches.

Try two different sizes of your plant to see whether this can help tell whether one has deteriorated or not. If so, make sure you notify your growers so that they can fix the problem.

Ask your vendor

How to Tell if Your Cannabis has Gone Bad or Expired 

If your cannabis has gone bad, you should ask your vendor what signs that it has. These can include smell, shape, or size.

Sometimes plants look or smell OK, but if they are not intact or have a strange shape, then they have gone bad. Others may not be able to tell if the plant looks bad, because of the medicinal value it has.

If the plant is shaped differently or isn’t as solid as other plants in your crop, then it has failed to receive an adequate amount of water and/or nutrients. If one side of the plant is droopier than the other, this may mean that someone was not giving it enough water and/or nutrients during growth.

If a plant is smaller or bigger than others in your crop, this indicates either insufficient water or time during growth.

Know your vendor

 

Knowing which vendor is a part of Vendor Code is key, as is understanding their policies and treaties.knowing which drugs are legal to buy and how they are produced is one of the biggest sources of knowledge about them.

Most companies do not have the same regulations for product quality as they do for medicine production, making it recommended to use a quality product that has been produced properly.

However, this does not mean that products that appear to be of good quality may not be bad in more serious ways. As we shall see below, this can happen to good-quality cannabis.

Vendor Code is a code that refers to characteristics such as size, branding, design, and where the cannabis is sold from. It is important to know what Vendor Code your cannabis has so that you can tell if it has gone bad or expired.

These characteristics can make the difference between being accepted at a Cannabis Trade Association (CBA) event or being dis-invited due to poor-quality weed.

Know your storage environment

How to Tell if Your Cannabis has Gone Bad or Expired 

You can tell if your cannabis has gone bad by looking at it or feeling it. If it is hot or warm to the touch, then it has probably not maintained its potency.

Cannabis stores typically have a window where they show you their product and how hot or warm the item is. This is to make sure when receiving the item that it does not heat up or spoil during shipping.

If a product looks cold or heat-detectable upon receiving it, chances are it has probably cooled down due to being shipped. This could also happen if an item was very popular and people were quick to receive what they ordered.

Knowing where your cannabis goes next year is another way to tell if the last time someone stored theirs was good or bad.

Cannabis lasts about 3 months unopened

How to Tell if Your Cannabis has Gone Bad or Expired 

This can be a problem for someone who is looking to take their cannabis but it has gone bad or expired. Because it has been unopened for so long, it may have gone bad or expired.

If this is the case, then there is no way to know if it has been open and/or stored properly. This can be important because if it has been stored improperly, then it could potentially contain important components that may not function properly.

To prevent this from happening, you must know how to tell if your cannabis has gone bad or expired. One way to do this is by checking the smell and look of your cannabis.
