Cannabis Storage Facts That Will Change Your Daily Routine
Setting the Record Straight on Cannabis Storage
As your trusted cannabis partner, Happy Munkey believes in educating our community with accurate information. One of the most common misconceptions we encounter involves proper storage methods for cannabis products. Let’s debunk some persistent myths and establish best practices.
The Refrigerator Fallacy
Many people believe storing cannabis in the refrigerator keeps it fresh longer. This is incorrect. Fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels in refrigerators can actually damage your products by:
• Creating condensation that leads to mold
• Degrading beneficial compounds
• Drying out the material
The Right Way to Store
Here’s what actually works:
1. Store in an airtight container
2. Keep at room temperature (68-77°F)
3. Place in a dark location
4. Maintain moderate humidity levels (59-63%)
5. Use glass containers instead of plastic
Common Myths vs. Reality
Myth: Freezing cannabis preserves it indefinitely
Reality: Freezing can damage trichomes and affect potency
Myth: Plastic bags are fine for long-term storage
Reality: Glass containers protect better against static and environmental factors
Myth: Sunlight helps maintain freshness
Reality: UV rays degrade cannabinoids and terpenes
The Bottom Line
Proper storage isn’t just about maintaining freshness—it’s about preserving the quality and effectiveness of your products. By following these evidence-based guidelines, you can ensure your cannabis stays in optimal condition for its intended use.
Remember, when in doubt, consult with knowledgeable professionals who can provide accurate, up-to-date information about cannabis storage and handling practices.
Stay informed, store smart, and enjoy responsibly!
