As mentioned already, buy yourself a vaporizer!
It will save you a lot of bud in the long run!!
For medical reasons i vape every night, never during the day.
Weekends is a different story altogether!!!
With vaping you will use about a 1/4 of what you use now, depending on the vape of course.
Quitting is not that hard to do, it is just in the mind!
For me MMJ is not addictive as it is for some people.
Having a strong will helps combat any cravings you think you may feel.
As for storing bud, i use mason jars that have been vacuum sealed with this:

Works like a dream and my bud stays fresh for ages!!
Vaping some 6 month cured bud is amazing!!
Just remember to store in a cool, dry and dark place.
I store my jars in a box in the basement, constantly cool and dry down there!
Flavor and potency have not been affected yet!
Open jar, take out what i need for a week and vacuum seal again!
Good luck with the cutting down!!!
Next time you toke it is going to be amazing!!!
