For nearly 40 years, been storing in a zip lock bag, inside a tupperware, in the freezer. I pull about a quarter oz out at a time and do that in under 10 seconds, while the container sits in the freezer. Never have mold, never loose taste or potency.
As to squeezing bud, I don’t know, but what do you get when you squeeze one in your hand and smell it?
That burst of flavour and scent is finite; I don’t sqeeze it tight, but do suck out the air quickly for sure.
