long term storage

First time grower here. Problem: I grew too much weed. I’m about to harvest 7-8 plants. WAY more than I can smoke or get rid of in the near term. Should I go through the normal hang drying/curing process, take what I need for the next 2-3 months, and then just freeze the rest for later...

So I have a shit load of bud from my first auto harvest of the year about 3/4 of a pound or so. I need to keep it fresh for as long as possible after drying and curing. I know vacuum sealing the weed will tend to crush it and knock off some trichs. What if instead of vacuum sealing the raw weed...
