Curaleaf sticky jar seal

Question

If I buy curaleaf flower, the first thing I do is open it and remove that seal that covers the entire opening. Im sure I'm not the only one to ask this but I haven't found any answer so I'll be the reposter, forgive me.

If you've purchased you've seen that seal glued to plenty of kief and flower. For what logical reason is mmj being sold with a seal that the medication sticks to? Just shaking a sealed jar nets you less material. Is this a ny compliance thing or just incompetence?

I absolutely hate this. And especially at the prices we’re paying. Pisses me off every time!

There is new packaging that’s being used for new products that’s are being packaged from here on out. I got one of the new ones for my INZ. Much better packaging. No more stupid seal or glue.

You just gotta wait for them to clear out the old batches and get new ones. :/

Aww thank you so much! I’m sorry I’ve been slacking on here. I haven’t posted a review in a while but I’ve been busy with legal family issues. I do have a couple reviews coming this weekend. I just have to write them.

No pressure. It's all good. I'll look forward to reading your reviews whenever you post them.

I've considered the same. If you were to scrape the lid, would the plant matter come off with glue attached? I'm not saying anyone should do that, but we're talking about supposed medical purchases so I'd like to know what it is sticking to, does it transfer, and why it's destroying medicine before I even buy it. The potency reduction of the usable amount started the moment that seal went on.

I scrape mine (lightly) every time. I assumed everyone did this 😬

There we go, then it's a reasonable assumption that someone might do it.

Does lid glue get on flower and is it safe to vaporize?

I use the little brush that came with my MFLB.

I think the new squishy ones may be for moisture control, but yea the packaging is bad and I can't wait for whole flower.

There's a second reason I'm asking this. I haven't weighed anything I bought from them. Those "seals" aren't seals. They're just annoying pieces of paper that do not actually stick to the jar on the rim and only stick to what's inside. Anyone with access can open it, take some out, or put something in, and put the sticky paper back on.

There are very poor standards and practices when it comes to mmj and it doesn't look like dispensaries or the state look out for patients by allowing it.

Isn't there a tamper evident sticker on the jar & lid? I agree the seal is crap, but the few containers I've had also had a sticker pressed on to the lid and jar, this should show you if the container has been opened before

I usually flip it so that the glue side sticks to the top of the lid. I scrape as much off as I can put that’s my only solution until the new packaging hits my spot.

That's a good idea! But you can transfer it to any other container now that it's legal. You're not "required" to store it in the original container anymore :)

Technically with med its always has to be in the original container, even with rec inacted. Key word here is Technically. We can and will do what we chose

It is annoying but only a tiny bit is list being stuck to paper. Buds coming back I assume

I actually sent complaints to the NY DoH and Curaleaf managers about the seals. Got numerous refunds, the seals aren't tamper proof. I'd pour most of it out, place the seal off-center and return it.

I assume it's concentrate oil to replenish lost terpenes.

The top seal isn't meant to be tamper proof. The sticker on the outside of the jar is.
