My wife has RA and can't open the mason jars I've been using to store the meds I grow for her. I won't be around forever to open them for her, does anyone know of an alternative storage container that makes a good seal for long term storage, but is easy on the hands to open?

I like something with the big latches. They're easy to get ahold of with the sides of my hands when my fingers are bad. Cookie jars are good if you can find them with a good rubber seal and a latch. They're are specialty weed ones made out of stainless steel too but I can't remember the name as they're a little pricey. I have spinal nerve damage that makes my hands shake and opening jars can be a pain for me too. Hope this helps.

For shorter periods of time, you could use the Lock and Lock containers. They are a thick yet forgiving plastic, with a rubber gasket and good snap closures on all 4 sides. I have a friend with RA and the same issues, I take him cured medicine in them and they work great for him. I painted the outside of the box with white Krylon spray paint to block any light should he forget to put it away and to keep prying eyes, blind. I merely give the meds to a few trusted and needy people. It is very humbling to help my one friend, his RA won't allow him to use a normal grinder, but he is proud of his little electric [battery] grinder.
Be good to others, someday we will be in their shoes:(

I agree on snap lock type containers but since you already have ball jars
I would try the plastic ball jar lids
They are much easier to grip and open at very little cost AB4FD688-DABC-44E0-98F5-A88EB7814A28.jpeg
