DEAR STONER: WHAT'S THE BEST KIND OF CONTAINER FOR MY POT?

Dear Stoner: What's the best container for pot? I see all these 
expensive jars but have yet to find anything that works better than 
my $2 Mason jar.

Quail

Dear Quail: For some sad reason, many potheads fail to see your 
wisdom. Maybe people just get bored with Mason jars and want to 
switch things up after staring at the same container for years, but I 
really don't get it. Smoke shops and dispensaries alike use fancy 
jars with "pop and seal" technology, or stackable plastic containers 
with nothing more than a screw top, and while they might look a 
little cooler than a boring Mason jar, they don't come close to 
keeping the air out as well. I've had $20 pop-and-seal jars that let 
my weed get dry just as fast as a pill bottle, and since then I've 
stayed true to my mini-sized Mason. Still, it's a lot of fun to walk 
into a home-goods store like Bed Bath & Beyond or the Container Store 
and casually say, "I'm looking for something to store my marijuana." 
Even if you just want Mason jars, it's worth the look on an employee's face.

Dear Stoner: What's the Best Way to Stash My Stash?

Unfortunately, jars aren't the only product in the cannabis industry 
that have become a giant waste of money. Never spend extra cash on a 
bong cleaner when isopropyl alcohol and epsom salts work better at 
cleaning glass than any branded chemical out there. And a 
toilet-paper roll with a dryer sheet wrapped around the end works 
just as well as - if not better than - any stupid $20 plastic tube 
that claims to do the same. Stoner MacGyver, man: Try to be like him.

Dear Stoner: You're the weed expert, so tell me: What the hell was 
Brock Osweiler smoking when he decided to leave Denver for the 
Texans...in Texas?!

Dale

Dear Dale: Hey, don't blame cannabis for Brock's decision. Whatever 
he may or may not have been smoking, there's no marijuana strain I 
know of that would make anyone that delusional.

Just kidding, Brock. (I know you're an avid reader of Ask a Stoner.) 
Take the money and run away from the pressure - I don't blame you. 
All the weed in the world wouldn't cure the stress of following up 
Peyton Manning and a Super Bowl victory. Just be warned: You'll never 
find anything as dank as you did here in Houston, except for that 
awful humid weather.
