Yep. Some people insist that they absorb some of the synthetic taste of the plastic, but I have not found that to be true.

Ive always used glass...

Ive heard that plastic jars or bags will strip the bud of trichomes..not absolutely sure if this is true or not.

they say that glass is better because the triclomes stick or brake in plastic and not in glass but its watever

the argument is that everthing has microscopic pores and craters, and that these divots on a surface like plastic are larger and greater, so you will lose more trichomes. It honestly doesnt matter, if you use a very thick plastic container like a Pelican waterproof case, or maybe a sweet bread- Tight Pak. Use glass whenever possible though, because plastic does degrade

I've kept my AVB (already vaped bud) in one of the larger regular zip lock bags
there is definitely stuff sticking to the sides of the bag
I think I agree with those that say the trichomes/thc can stick to the plastic
So I went to IKEA and got a bunch of those cool glass jars with the sealing ring and locking metal contraption on top
pretty cheap, most sizes were only a few bucks a piece

Jars are flashier than tupperware. I've done each side by side and although I prefer to use jars, tupperware cured stuff is fine.

pro tip: afraid your buds might be too fucking stinky? cure then some used candle jars (tell your sister/mom/gf to save theirs)

Glass is definitely preferable.
Why use plastic when Mason jars are dirt cheap at the local grocery store and can be used forever as long as you don't break them. I pay less than $8 for either a 6-pack of half-gallon mason jars with lids or a 12 pack of quart jars (less than a buck a piece!). The half-gallon jars are really nice if you want to keep your bigger buds more intact.
