Let’s Clear the Air About Cannabis Storage
As experienced consumers know, proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of cannabis products. Yet, there’s a lot of misinformation floating around about the best ways to store your herbs. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths we hear from our customers.
Myth #1: The Refrigerator Is the Best Storage Spot
False! Refrigerators create fluctuating humidity levels that can lead to mold growth. Your cannabis deserves better than that. Instead, store it in a cool, dark place at room temperature.
Myth #2: Plastic Bags Are Fine for Long-term Storage
This is a big no-no. Plastic can create static electricity that damages trichomes and can affect potency. Use glass containers with airtight seals instead.
Top 3 Storage Tips:
- Store in an airtight glass container
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels
Myth #3: More Air Means Better Preservation
Actually, exposure to oxygen speeds up degradation. You want to minimize air contact while ensuring your container is appropriately sized for your amount of product.
Myth #4: The Freezer Preserves THC
While freezing might seem logical, the extreme cold can cause trichomes to become brittle and break off, reducing potency. Room temperature storage is always best.
Myth #5: Tobacco Humidors Work Great
Tobacco humidors are specially designed for tobacco, not cannabis. The cedar wood can affect the flavor and terpene profile of your product.
Remember, proper storage is essential for maintaining the quality of your cannabis products. When you invest in quality products, you want them to maintain their freshness and potency as long as possible.
