Debunking Popular Cannabis Storage Misconceptions
As Michigan’s premier cannabis dispensary, New Standard consistently educates customers about proper storage methods for their products. Let’s address one of the most persistent myths in cannabis storage that continues to circulate among consumers.
The Refrigerator Myth
One of the most common misconceptions we hear is that storing cannabis in the refrigerator is the best way to maintain its freshness. This widespread belief couldn’t be further from the truth. Refrigerators create an environment with fluctuating humidity levels that can actually damage your cannabis products.
Here’s what you need to know about proper storage:
• Keep cannabis in a cool, dark place
• Use airtight containers
• Maintain consistent temperature
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Store at room temperature (68-77°F)
Why Temperature Stability Matters
Temperature fluctuations can lead to:
• Moisture buildup
• Mold growth
• Degradation of cannabinoids
• Loss of potency
• Compromised terpene profiles
The best storage solution is a simple airtight container kept in a dark cabinet at room temperature. This method helps preserve the integrity of your products while maintaining their intended effects and flavor profiles.
Remember, proper storage isn’t just about longevity – it’s about maintaining the quality and safety of your cannabis products. When in doubt, always consult with knowledgeable dispensary staff for specific storage recommendations based on your purchased products.
