I was wondering if there is any difference between various storage methods and the degradation of THC. Somewhere on these boards i read that after a certain amount of time, you can expect to lose about 40% potency/year.

assuming this number is accurate, would any of the following help with long term storage?

1: Cooking into food
2: Creating green dragon
3: Vacuum Packing cured bud
4: Vacuum Packing food
5: Freezing & Vacuum Packing Food, GD, or Bud

Keeping out of the sun is assumed.

Cheers

(hopefully this is in the right place, couldnt find anywhere more appropriate

Well... THC is destroyed by light and air's oxygen. So if you find a way to protect the THC from both, it will be very safe.
Ive heard that in the buds the THC is stored into the cells, and when we cook with it the cells are broken and the THC is released. So, i think storing cured bud would be the safest method, as the THC would be double protected, as it would be safely stored into the cells.
Vacuum packing seems a very good way to avoid contact with air... so i would choose the option 3. And store it in a dark and cool place.
