Has My Weed Gone Bad? 13 Signs Your Stash Is Trash

2. It Gives You A Headache

If you smoke old weed and walk away with a headache, that’s a pretty clear sign it has gone bad.

Headache-inducing cannabis has lost so much quality that it’s basically giving you all the smoke and none of the cannabinoids. The result: a pain in the brain.

Headaches come from smoking dry weed, weed that’s basically a bunch of leaves, or weed that’s moldy.

But even weed that looks good can cause headaches if the quality is low enough. Sometimes, you just won’t know until you spark it up. Good luck.

1. Trust Your Instincts

When it comes down to it, you probably know in your gut whether your old stash has gone bad or not. So trust your instincts, and you’ll never go wrong with bad weed.

However, it may be hard to admit that the half ounce of Skywalker OG you’ve been saving for your summer road trip turned sour. You gotta face the music sometimes. Pacha mama and all that.

And remember, unless it’s moldy, you can still smoke “bad” weed.

Just don’t expect the level of potency you’re used to. In other words, you can still smoke bad weed, you just have to smoke a lot more of it.

And if you’ve got a habit of letting your weed go bad, maybe it’s time to try other ways to get high without smoking. Don’t worry. You can still use weed, but maybe keeping actual herb around just isn’t the best fit.
