I prefer D8 these days because I'm a lightweight and generally prefer the less intense buzz. I live in a state that's not recreational-friendly and don't qualify for medical (though I would in almost any other state, ugh), so I've been stocking up on D8 carts, gummies, and D8-infused hemp flower before the federal ban happens. Even if states can opt out as I've read might be an option, my state definitely will not.

What's the best way to store those long-term?

I've found freezing the gummies works wonders. A couple of years ago when state legislature banned D8, I had stocked up on gummies and put them in the freezer. I've still got plenty, and they're just as good as they were new even after close to 2 years in the freezer. So, I'm confident that works.

I also stocked up on carts back then, and I've had mixed results after a couple years. Some of them now taste absolutely terrible and others just clog up immediately. They were kept in a dark location but at room temperature. They're still mostly potent enough to get the job done, but not ideal due to the kinda gross taste and frequent clogs.

I just bought a new batch of carts and some pre-rolls, so what is the best way to deal with them?

What I've read are light and oxygen are the main things that cause it to break down. I've currently got the carts in ziploc bags with the air sucked out and am storing them in the fridge. I don't have a vacuum sealer, but I am looking to get one for the kitchen eventually and will probably upgrade the ziploc bags to proper vacuum sealed bags.

Is that sufficient, and any other tips to make these last?
