Abstract

The present invention is a plurality of flexibly connected pouches forming a container having a sliding track along the top edge. The pouches can hold pills, an amount of cannabis, gels, etc., that are sealed in the pouches. The track has two sections that removably attach to each other when pushed together. The track may have a notch located above a tear joint between each pouch. A unique slider has a plow that separates the two sections once the plow is pushed down into the slider. A wedge thereon separates the two sections of the track and thus opens the walls of the pouch. The slider when the plow is not pushed down can be moved along the track as desired. The pouches further can have a tear joint. Further, the pouches may be folded or rolled together and can be placed in a box for sale and storage.
