You can preserve seeds by popping them in a dark pill bottle. That's about the best you're gonna get buddy. You can freeze male pollen sacs but I think that's about as much preservation possible.

I smoked hash that was 20 years old, it wasn't bad...Did the trick just fine...What if you vacuum sealed the weed and kept it in a deep freezer??
Like the bottom of a chest style freezer that you rarely open...maybe under bunch of ice to make sure it doesn't defrost or get freezer burn when you open the freezer occasionally.

That might work, Meta. I'd just worry about the trics degrading.

iv heard of ppl stickin it in freezer but idk, i wldnt believe this guy reservof ne way he's never tried it himself, if its in an airtight jar no moisture can escape i think its fine, are grandmas peaches "trash" when there left in those mason jars in the basement, no there still good, and from what i hear the longer u cure the better,the better, imagine weed cured for 10 years, hell it'd be crazy

Dry Ice Treatment Instructions
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]1. Use approximately one ounce of dry ice per gallon (7 grams per liter) capacity of the container. Do not use dry ice in metal containers of any kind or size because of the potential for inadequate seals or excessive buildup of pressure.
2. Wear gloves when handling dry ice.
3. Wipe frost crystals from the dry ice, using a clean dry towel.
4. Place the dry ice in the center of the container bottom.
5. Pour the grain or dry beans on top of the dry ice. Fill the bucket to within one inch (25 mm) of the top.
6. Place the lid on top of the container and snap it down only about halfway around the container. The partially sealed lid will allow the carbon dioxide gas to escape from the bucket as the dry ice sublimates (changes from a solid to a gas).
7. Allow the dry ice to sublimate completely before sealing the bucket. Feel the bottom of the container to see if the dry ice is all gone. If the bottom of the container is very cold, dry ice is still present.
8. Monitor the bucket for a few minutes after sealing the lid. If the bucket or lid bulges, slightly lift the edge of the lid to relieve pressure.
9. It is normal for the lid of the bucket to pull down slightly as a result of the partial vacuum caused when carbon dioxide is absorbed into the product.

Storage of Plastic Buckets
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]• Store plastic buckets off the floor by at least ½ inch (1.3 cm) to allow air to circulate under the bucket.
• Do not stack plastic buckets over three high. If buckets are stacked, check them periodically to ensure that the lids have not broken from the weight.
Visit providentliving.org for additional information • Do not stack plastic buckets over three high. If buckets are stacked, check them periodically to ensure that the lids have not broken from the weight.

Vacuum packed and in the freezer. Lasts for years. No degradation of THC or terpines. How many years? Can't find any definitive answer.
