I’ve noticed that every product I’ve bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It’s pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc…

    1. Pull down the packaging to expose the seal.
    2. If there’s a little ‘extra’ plastic bit attached to the ziplock, pull this and the other side. Using your thumbnail to loosen the seal while doing this can help.
    3. Take a big whiff from the bag, then put your weed in a mason jar with a moisture pak like a decent human being.
    4. Save the bag and bring it back to the dispo if they take empty packaging. It’s probably still going into a landfill, but at least you can say you tried.

    Alternatively, grab a knife or some scissors and skip to step 3.
