Setting the Record Straight on Cannabis Storage
As a trusted cannabis retailer serving multiple Michigan communities, we frequently hear misconceptions about proper storage methods for cannabis products. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths to help you maintain the quality of your purchases.
Myth #1: The Refrigerator Is the Best Storage Location
Many people believe storing cannabis in the refrigerator keeps it fresh longer. However, the fluctuating humidity and temperature levels in your household refrigerator can actually damage your products, leading to mold growth and degradation of beneficial compounds.
Myth #2: Plastic Bags Are Fine for Long-term Storage
Storing cannabis in plastic bags is one of the worst things you can do. Plastic can create static electricity that removes valuable trichomes, and it doesn’t provide an airtight seal. Instead, use glass containers with airtight seals.
Best Storage Practices:
- Store in a cool, dark place around 70°F
- Use glass containers with airtight seals
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Maintain proper humidity levels (58-62%)
- Store different strains separately
