Setting the Record Straight on Cannabis Storage
At Valley Wellness, we often hear interesting theories about how to store cannabis products. Today, we’re addressing one of the most persistent myths in the cannabis storage community that could be affecting your experience.
The Myth: Storing Cannabis in the Refrigerator Keeps It Fresh Longer
This is a misconception we frequently encounter. Many people believe that keeping their cannabis products in the refrigerator will extend their shelf life, similar to preserving fresh produce. However, this practice can actually be detrimental to your products.
Here’s why refrigeration isn’t ideal:
• Fluctuating temperatures create condensation
• Excess moisture can lead to mold growth
• Cold temperatures can damage delicate trichomes
• Humidity levels in refrigerators are typically too high
The Truth About Proper Storage
The best way to store cannabis products is:
• In an airtight container
• At room temperature (around 70°F)
• Away from direct sunlight
• In a dark, dry place
• With controlled humidity (58-62% RH)
Why This Matters
Proper storage ensures that your products maintain their potency, flavor profiles, and intended effects. When stored correctly, most cannabis products can maintain their quality for several months.
