Re:stash Jars by Re:stash
(Leafly)
Child-resistant and waterproof, theRe:stash JarbyRe:stashcovers all the bases. The silicone koozie wrapped around each 8oz jar acts as a sun barrier, so your go-to strain won’t experience dryness or water damage. Take this “stash bag” to the beach and spark one up as you de-stress in the waves.
Our Push Trees collab just dropped! Available in 8oz and 4oz sizes.
Push Trees, created byStoner Dottie andDope as Yola, was started from an Instagram post. While Stoner Dottie and Dope as Yolawere in their front yard smoking a joint, they thought it would be funny to take a picture pushing their tree. For those of you that don't know, push means to sell, and trees is a slang term for cannabis. So to Push Trees is just a funny way to say "sell weed." Stoner Dottie and Dope as Yola are known in the marijuana community for making videos and taking pictures involving marijuana. So after posting the image on their Instagram pages, they received hundreds of comments saying "make this a shirt" "please turn this into a logo" etc. And they did. Read the full story here.
In Dope as Yola's words, "@unknownprophet@barbequebiz and I once dropped and broke a mason jar of weed while checking into a hotel.... if we had [Re:Stash jars] that wouldn’t of happened 😂😂😂😂😂 These things are seriously dope, keep your weed fresh and avoid terrible situations like that."
This is a very limited run, so get yours while you can!

Finding your ideal strain of marijuana is essential to the experience. Each variety has its own set of nuances and user effects, so researching what works for you is worth the effort. However, if you’re still storing your bud of choice in the same old Ziploc plastic baggies, you’re doing it mighty wrong. Plastic bags can damage the quality of the flower, leaving you with a much less potent supply than you originally started with. With the cannabis industry on the rise, the need for smarter storing methods has risen too.
Mason jars are one solution to the plastic bag problem. You probably know these ubiquitous containers for their wide range of uses: drinkware, canning, decor, food storage, etc. These versatile, nearly air-tight sealed glass jars are practically tailor-made for keeping cannabis in pristine condition. Glass contains the terpenes of the bud far more effectively, while also preventing the chemical transference into the bud itself that comes from plastic containers. The quality of your flower will be better maintained in a glass jar.
The team at Re:stash recognizes the power of the mason jar. Started by University of Oregon graduates Eric Harvey, Nicole Harvey and Adrian Kimberley, Re:stash’s parent company Mason-re began as a to-go coffee cup manufacturer that used the jars as a selling point. Originally, the venture was funded by Kickstarter. Their initial goal was to raise $8,000, which they significantly overshot—to the tune of $17,000.
Unlike many student-created Kickstarter projects, this launching point allowed the business to take off. Berner, a San Francisco-based rapper and entrepreneur, saw promise in the new company and became their first investor. As one of the parties responsible for introducing the popular Girl Scout Cookies strain to the dispensary market, Berner had connections in the cannabis industry that helped the Harveys and Kimberley further cement their place as a premiere bud storage manufacturer.
Now, the company integrates the mason jar into their line of cannabis storage products. According to Kimberley, who serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Mason-re, the idea for the Re:stash product line came when they noticed how popular mason jars had become for storing cannabis. The Re:stash line now ranks among their most popular products. “People like the fact that someone is finally doing it right,” Kimberley said.
The use of “re” in the Mason-re and Re:stash brand stands for reducing, reusing and recycling. Based in Bend, the company’s philosophy is to promote sustainability. Their mason jars are meant to be reused beyond their initial purpose. Re:stash jars are more sustainable than the environmentally damaging, single-use plastic tubs that most dispensaries use to sell their product. Additionally, every Re:stash lid uses their own patented design. The flax-filled polypropylene lids are made with biological waste product to replace traditional materials that would take energy to mine and produce, thus reducing their carbon footprint. This reduction of plastic waste is a major part of what drives the Re:stash business model. Additionally, the lids are designed to be child-proof, so you won’t have to worry about any young ones getting their hands on your supply.
Re:stash jars improve marijuana storage in a variety of ways. With size options ranging from 4 to 16 ounce jars (which can hold an entire ounce of cannabis), Re:stash has the right jar for any user. The first thing you’ll notice about the jars is the 100% premium silicone koozie that wraps around the outside of the glass. Opaquely colored, the koozies prevent damage from excessive light exposure. With an array of colors and designs, there’s a koozie to match anyone’s preferred aesthetic. These koozies stop the temperature inside the jar from fluctuating. Since bud is best stored in a cool, dry place, the Re:stash koozie will help preserve the flower quality no matter where it’s stored. If you have a tendency for clumsiness, the Re:stash koozie also prevents breaks from dropping. Additionally, the koozie helps to prevent the growth of mildew and mold on your product.
Re:stash isn’t the only company to make use of glass packaging. At Frequent Vibrationz, hand-picked buds stay sealed in glass containers to keep them fresh. Like Re:stash, Frequent Vibrationz strives to maintain a commitment to environmental sustainability. Their glass jars can be returned in-store after every 10 flower purchases for a 10% discount. Fewer plastic containers from dispensaries ending up in landfills will help you reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying your favorite strain.
Re:stash products can be found at Re-Stash.com, with additional mason jar products by Mason-re at Mason-Re.com. Frequent Vibrationz (541-505-9671) is located at 1409 Oak St. in Eugene. They’re open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

We are huge advocates for proper storage of your cannabis so we wanted to share our 5 Best Cannabis Storage Containers, Stash Boxes, and Jars with you. Most people just store their bud in a plastic bag however they may not be aware of the negative effects this has on their weed. Light pollution can bring down the potency of your bud by degrading it while not keeping your cannabis in an air-tight container could cause it to go bad much quicker. We won’t bore you with endless facts about light, the curing process or anything else. We just want to show you the 5 Best Cannabis Storage Containers, Stash Boxes, and Jars for anyone who considers themselves a Cannabis Connoisseur.

Best Cannabis Storage Containers
This list is not in any particular order, however, we wanted to give you a solid range of simple and inexpensive options in addition to high-end options. Our 5 Best Cannabis Storage Containers, Stash Boxes, and Jars are as follows:
Mason-Re Re:Stash Jars
The Re:Stash Jars from Mason-Re are probably our favorites here at HotBox. These are simply regular mason jars with some enhancements such as aKoozie coverto block light and childproof top. Prior to Re:Stash, we used mason jars anyways so this was a great addition to the stash jar collection. We did alengthy review on Mason-Re that you can check outfor the details as well. In short, Re:Stash Jars are perfect for maintaining long-lasting freshness of your cannabis. The Koozie does an amazing job of blocking out harmful UV light while the childproof top helps keep your family safe and in compliance with many laws in medical/recreational states. The pricing is very affordable as well, ranging from $16.00 for the 4 oz to $20.00 for the 12 oz which can fit about an ounce of bud depending on the nug size. You can also purchase the lids and Koozie separately to save money if you already own standard mason jars. You can even get custom artwork on your Koozie if you want that personalized storage jar.
Smokus Focus might have the coolest cannabis storage containers in the entire industry. Smokus Focus is the world’s first rechargeable, pocket-sized magnifying display jar. Yep, super high tech. For those who are always getting super dank and frosty buds, this is a must have stash jar to display your Cup worthy bud in all its glory. Inside the stash jar, there are LED lights that beautifully display your bud and when you get close enough you can check out your trichomes with the magnifying glass top cover. The LED light lasts about 18 hours on 1 charge and it takes a few hours to recharge it. There are two sizes and several colors to choose from. I would say the only knocks on these are the price ($49 and $59) and the fact that it is made of plastic. You typically want to store your buds in glass, however, we can make an exception for such a cool invention. Hats off to Smokus Focus, if not on your personal bookcase I highly recommend all dispensaries get these jars to display their cannabis. Definitely a conversation starter.
The Cannador might be the most luxurious cannabis storage container on the market right now. Made of solid mahogany versus cedar and equipped with VaporBeads for humidification, Cannador is ideal for long-term storage of your top shelf cannabis. This is truly a connoisseurs stash box, with a nice price tag to match. But don’t be fooled, this humidor is built to keep your buds at precise temperatures and humidity and is worth every penny. They even have a device called the Blustream Hygrometer that comes with an app so you can get full visibility on the relative humidity and temperatures without ever opening the box. We got more in-depth and eveninterviewed the creator in one of our past reviews, which you can check out before buying. Cannador has several options starting with a 2-strain box that starts at $160 and a 6-strain version that gets as high as $308.
So we got a little fancy with the first 3 cannabis storage containers but what about a storage solution for on the go? Bud Bottles doesn’t look like much from far away but nearly everyone we have ever given them to absolutely loves them. Lightweight, odor proof, glass but nearly unbreakable, and only $2.99 per bottle. The Bud Bottle fits in the palm of your hand but can hold about an 8th of ground up cannabis comfortably. This is a good amount when running over to a friends house or keeping a small amount on you while traveling. We have also had many drop situations using Bud Bottles but none have ever broken. I think the shape and size of the bottle might give it a bit of extra strength, although that is just a theory. There is not much more to say about Bud Bottles, they are sort of a no-brainer for anyone who needs to store about an 8th of bud discreetly and for the low.
We highly recommend Bud Bottles and use them daily. If you want to grab a few for yourself or a friend go ahead andvisit their site at budbottles.com
GnarJars 2-in-1 Jars
We end our list with a bit of a 2-for-1 cannabis storage container called GnarJars. The GnarJars not only uses hand blown borosilicate glass (the same stuff bongs are made of) but has a lid that doubles as an air-tight seal and extra storage for concentrates. This is great for those who love to have both on deck. The lid is made of Medical Grade Platinum-Cured Silicone and the jar itself can store up to 1 ounce of flower. GnarJars are also reasonably priced at $29 and come in several color combinations. Many customers who have purchased the GnarJars mention how great the quality of this product is and it exceeded their expectations.
GnarJars are definitely a great choice to store those high-end buds. If you want to grab a jar or two justbuy them directly from gnarjars.com

The recreational cannabis world has seen its fair share of silly rules. One that seems to be a never-ending source of frustration for the industry is the amazingly un-awesome “exit bag,” a non-recyclable, zippered plastic baggy for cannabis purchases. The OLCC enacted rules requiring that all cannabis leaving a store must be placed in these cumbersome bags, leaving seniors and sight-impaired folks struggling to easily access their medicine when they get home. RE:STASH has come up with an ingenious solution: a sustainable, Consumer Product Safety Commission-compliant exit strategy.
RE:STASH has married readily available Ball Mason Jars with childproof lids made from 30 percent recycled farm waste, creating a sustainable solution to the OLCC-enforced poly bags. The silicone bumper protects the delicate flowers inside your jar from UV and temperature swings.
Features:
OLCC “exit bag”-compliant
Easy-open lid
Zero plastic
Smell proof
Custom laser-etched or printed store logos available
Lids made in Portland, Oregon
Easy to replace if the jar breaks; fits standard mason jars
Storing your cannabis is serious business. Most of us remember growing up and keeping ours in a little plastic sandwich bag. In the past several years, we have seen many products innovate the storage product space includingCannadorandPharm Jar. Many of our readers might ask, “Why should we dish out big money for storage products when a sandwich bag costs pennies and can be disposed of easily?” Mason-re is a company that not only aims to innovate storage but also has created an option which is both sustainable and affordable! How are they able to pull this off, you ask? Spark your nearest joint or bowl and let us tell you all about it!
Why Care About the Way you Store your Cannabis?
Without getting too technical, we should understand why our old-school way of storing cannabis is maybe not the best way even though it seems economical. First, once cannabis is pulled from the plant and dried, it is essentially in a forever curing process. Curing cannabis is probably (arguably) the most important step in producing high quality, great looking buds. Curing usually consists of keeping your bud in a controlled environment, like a humidor or glass jar which allows for proper drying and long-term freshness. A plastic bag will not allow for a controlled environment. Toxic molds can start forming and your buds can dry uneven causing harsh smoke and a bad taste. Then you have sunlight. While cannabis plants need sunlight to grow, the UV rays from the sun can cause the TH ( the main active ingredient in your bud) on the cannabis to degrade and lose potency. Lastly, there is the safety aspect. In many medically and recreationally legal states, there are strict laws on how you store your medicine. You must keep your stash in child-proof containers or you can risk getting in a lot of trouble. This should be on your mind if you have children, with or without the legal penalty.
We mentioned being economical earlier and how plastic bags arecheap. While this is true in a monetary sense, it takes an expensive toll on our environment and the animals that live in it. If you buy the right storage products, not only can you help save the environment but in the long run, the amount of use you get out of the product will more than pay for itself.
How Does Mason-re Solve This Problem?
Mason-re didn’t re-invent the wheel, they perfected it with the Re:stash Jar. They took one of our favorite products, the mason jar, and covered nearly all the necessities that one would need for storing cannabis properly. In the past, a mason jar was the storage option of choice but it wasn’t always ideal. Waking up to a jar on the kitchen table after being exposed to the sun for hours was cringeworthy. Mason-re fixed this issue by creating a mason jar “koozie” made of silicone which not only keeps light out but can keep your jar from breaking if dropped. The koozie comes in 7 great colors and you can even customize the cover with your logo, name or anything you want. Where they really took it to the next level is with the eco-fiber child resistant lid. The lid is made from re-purposed farm waste and hemp fibers and works similarly to a prescription bottle cap to keep children from opening. Oh yeah, they are American Made as well.
So we mentioned this was affordable and that all of you would be able to go get one right away. The Re:stash Jars from Mason-re at the most will run you$20.00 for their largest container which is 120z. The smallest container,the 4oz, is available for just $16.00. That is a great price for something that not only should last you a lifetime but is safe for the environment and a safe way to keep your medicine out of reach of children. Have your own jars? You can also buy thekoozie covers for as low as $7.00!
If you’re ready to take the leap into premium storage for your cannabis just head over to the Mason-re website (mason-re.com) and grab a few. To make this decision even easier, use our coupon code at checkout and receive 15% off your purchase! No excuses now, haha!
Sustain your stash! Medicine and recreational fun does not come cheaply, so make sure you are taking adequate precautions to protect your product.
Mason jars are very popular and have dozens of known uses. Re:stash jars by Mason-re just found another. These jars can protect your stash from spilling and from contaminants found in industrial plastics. An outer silicone koozie shields the jars from sunlight and prevents spoilage. Children are also protected as Re:stash jars features child-resistant lids. Jars come in both 4 oz. and 8 oz. sizes.
Re:stash jars provide a unique opportunity, as the silicone koozie on the jars can be customized to feature any company logo or message. We are thrilled with our personalized mg jars!
Mason-re goes further than simply sustaining your marijuana stash. The company is committed to the sustainability of the planet. Their jars contain no plastic, and the lids are made from 30 percent farm waste.
That stat is certainly impressive, but it still requires energy and resources to create a product, of course. This is precisely why Mason-re chose to focus on jars that could be used over and over again.
Budtender Brielle and her BFF Alex welcome friend-of-the-show Stephen Gold from Daily Leaf Deals and their mutual friend Adrian Kimberley, who is head of the Mason-re team. Adrian is a musician and rising ganjapreneur best known for having revolutionized the cannabis “stash jar.” His team’s patented Re:stash jar is comprised of a mason jar, a silicone koozie and a patent-pending child proof lid. The jar has no plastic and the lid is made with 30% farm waste. The gang has a good time learning about Adrian’s meteoric rise and future plans.
A: Yes. Many things, one of which is spilled bongwater in your car. Another is pulling into your favorite campsite and discovering that your lighter is dead, your papers are wet and your glass is in pieces at the bottom of your backpack. Here are some products designed to help you travel weed-smart. Extra thanks to the folks at Farma and Mary Jane’s House of Glass.

2. 3rd Grain makes a range of wide, flat wood travel kits, perfect for your pocket. The simple construction makes space for several grams of flower and a pop-out ceramic one-hitter designed to look like a filtered cigarette.
3. Larger models of the 3rd Grain include an extra stash space for a contrasting strain and an extra one-hitter for your hiking buddy.

The solution? Elementary. Pick up one of these inexpensive foam travel bags with a sexy design of your choice.
5. When you get tired of amassing little jars and zip locks from your favorite shops, have an ounce of class and step it up to something like this: a reusable, medical-grade stash jar from Re-Stash, approved by the OLCC for dispensaries. Hey, if it’s good enough for the OLCC…
6. “Hey, is that my lighter?” “No.” “Are you sure? Mine looks a lot like that.” “Does yours have a custom leather slipcase from your favorite local rec shop?” “Oh, right. It must be yours.” Unpremeditated larceny abounds on those stony road trips. Want to rise above the petty accusations of ‘who stole my lighter’? Grab a couple of these inexpensive custom slipcases like this one from Jayne and you can be sure of returning home with the same lighters you left with.
