What would you have done?

Store it in an airtight container and you won't have that problem.
How airtight is airtight? Cheap Ziploc bags or Tupperware won't be enough in the long run. Maybe if you used a pressure sealed preservatives jar. Those will need to be heated up in a pressure cooker, so butter will melt and reconstitute.

I know i am going to be down voted but here goes.
You didn't want to sell your home to a family who could have really used it, instead you wanted to keep it and make money off someone for 7 whole years.
You are keeping property you don't need whilst talking about how you help people to get their own home, seems like a poor justification to me.
This feels like a win win? If we had sold, it’d probably be an AirBnB now. How does this make me shit?
You don't know that it would have become an air bnb, you are just using whataboutism to make yourself look better by comparison. And if it did that's not on you, but trying to justify renting additional properties by saying you "saved it" from becoming an air bnb instead is so shitty. Like wow you saved the house from being used in that way here is your rental payment.
You aren't saving people money by taking rental payments, you aren't a hero for potentially stopping someone from using the property as an airbnb, you are a landlord.
They didn't know that it would probably become an airbnb, but the likelihood of such a place becoming one or being bought by somebody else wanting to charge higher rents isn't exactly low either.
The whole "market rates" thing is used by corporate landlords to increase prices, and controlling available properties - including by leaving vacancies - is one way that do that. By the same token, charging below "market rates" could also help of enough did it, especially if the places are decent and money re-invested in proper upkeep. Many/most though are not even investing in proper maintenance/repairs while charging over an above the cost of entire mortgages, which IMO is just greedy bullshit

Because the last tenant put holes in the walls, their dog's piss caused the floor to lift, and the shower they plugged then overflowed fucked up the bathroom?
So there are repairs to do in order to make the place livable and then time to find somebody else who won't just wreck the place again?
Yeah there are lots of shit landlords but one of the continuing factors is the remaining good ones with a basement suite etc bailed after terrible tenants.
A vacancy tax is a good idea but there needs to be caveats for timelines especially if stuff like reasonable maintenance/repairs is taken into consideration.
Ironically my friends who bitched about "shit landlords" also happened to be the drinkin' smokin' big-dog-ownin' types who were the worst type of tenants and ruined shit for everyone else

Oh no, instead of getting money for doing nothing you will get money for paying someone to do a cosmetic repair once every several years. Should I feel sorry for you? I entered a landlord mode so I forgot what empathy is, so I need help here.
There's cosmetic repairs and then there's "making the place fit for Guinean habitation" repairs.
Now granted I'm a bit older and not renting now (and not a landlord, though I did share in my first place when I was a younger), but in that time a lot of better available places were people who'd bought a home, had kids, then had said kids grow up and move out.
Given the free space but still wanting to keep with the family home they'd invested half their lives in, they'd rent out a basement suite or whatever (generally for a reasonable rate, at least compared to other places or the shit-show we see today).
Some didn't need the money, others found that rising property values also came with a rise in taxes and repair costs. Most were still not assholes though so if the stove or heating broke down they'd actually get a repair guy in fairly quickly or replace said appliance (often with a used but functional one).Those are what you'd call the "mom and pop" landlords and they were a lot more prevalent. By the same token though, they weren't making a lot - hell some were less interested in rents than not having an empty-feeling house - and all it took was one bad tenant to make it not worthwhile. It doesn't take much either. Water damage and/or mould abatement, a kitchen fire, pet/drugs/smoking damage etc can all add up pretty quickly especially if they're hiring somebody professional to do repair work which was certainly more than just cosmetic.
I don't see a lot of those types now - I'd certainly not want to be one - but most I know cite that it would take them years to recoup the cost of damage from that one bad case and they just weren't willing to deal with that plus the life-disruption anymore.
So now all there pretty much is would be corporate landlords or the type that own several "rental properties" and consider painting the walls (and hinges, and light-switches, and plugs) or throwing down the cheapest carpet possible the extent of their actual "investment" in the property. -

Yeah that would be nice. I think the former are kind of a dying breed though (and those that still have them are holding on as tight as they can).
Honestly I tend to refer to the latter as "slumlords" as that tends to better reflect the actual fucks they give about the tenants in their properties. Even the corpos are often better, as at least they tend to be better informed/regulated about their legal obligations.

I mean I guess I could have left it empty while I myself rented from someone? I don’t see how that’d make me a better person though.
I’m not really buying your argument. You’re not making any real argument of how I hurt anyone or even caused a net negative on society. You’re speculating that because I didn’t hand the house to someone “who needed it”, that I somehow did wrong. I didn’t price gouge. I didn’t raise the rent. I repair things in a timely manner. The renter pays less than they would if they bought the house, aren’t responsible for anything major, and can leave at just about anytime. Seems like a net positive in my book? Sure, they paid me… but am I supposed to give it away for free? Selling it probably would have landed me more money. Are you pitching a world where everyone has to lock in to a 30 year loan and be stuck there? Or is this an argument where housing should be free or something? (Sure, whatever… but that’s a different topic)

I don’t think I’m a hero. I do think I’m saving them money. They could have foregone a rental and bought a house. They chose not to to save money for a business.

Are those all drugs? I thought they were just clothes in those vacuum pack space saver things until I saw the one with weed.
Edit: Oh I guess it's all weed, just some of the packaging isn't totally see through.
This is oregano.

Maybe quarter pounds. Still tens of thousands of dollars in a legal state.
Usually (at least in Britain) they'd be packaged into 9 ounce bags (otherwise known as a 9 bar) for distribution to dealers. It's sold by the kg on the international market and ounces on the British market and 9 Oz is approximately 250g so it's a handy way to convert from metric to imperial when selling to dealers.

In many places, that just doesn’t exist. Places like most of Canada, where people are paying 60-80% of their income just to put a roof over their head. If a place is on the rental market, it will likely have people fighting tooth-and-nail over it even if it’s been condemned and it’s being illegally rented out.

Doesn't Canada have a shitload of uninhabited wilderness?
Yup. Problem is, not too many people can effectively live hundreds of kilometres away from their jobs. And not many people want a 2-4hr daily commute. And anything that has electricity and water to the lot is already being snapped up by “investors” looking to flip the thing for a massive profit.

like the other person said, concentrates. That's why concentrates are so big in the cannabis market, fresh flower doesn't keep very long or sell at the kind of volume that edibles or pens made from concentrates do
Dried flower stays good for a VERY long time. I myself found some forgotten buds in those plastic orbit containers. Was few years old, still tasted and felt like fresh
