Let’s Clear the Air About Cannabis Storage
One of the most frequent questions we hear at KushMart concerns proper storage of cannabis products. With so much misinformation floating around, it’s time to address some persistent myths that could be affecting your experience.
The Refrigerator Myth
Perhaps the biggest misconception is that storing cannabis in your refrigerator keeps it fresh longer. This couldn’t be further from the truth! The fluctuating humidity levels in your fridge can actually damage trichomes and promote mold growth.
Here’s what you should do instead:
• Store in an airtight container
• Keep at room temperature (68-77°F)
• Place in a dark, dry location
• Use humidity control packets if necessary
The Plastic Bag Problem
Despite what you might have learned from popular culture, storing cannabis in plastic bags is not ideal. Plastic can create static electricity that pulls valuable trichomes from your flower, and it doesn’t provide an adequate seal against air and moisture.
The Truth About Mason Jars
While mason jars are generally good for storage, they’re not perfect on their own. You’ll want to consider:
1. Using UV-protected glass
2. Adding humidity control
3. Proper sizing (don’t use too large a container)
4. Regular cleaning and maintenance
Remember, proper storage isn’t just about maintaining freshness—it’s about preserving potency, protecting terpenes, and ensuring the best possible experience with your products.
