How to Store Cannabis the Right Way

Proper storage keeps your cannabis potent, flavorful, and free from mold. Here is exactly how to do it.

The Four Enemies of Cannabis Quality

1. Light — UV rays degrade THC. Keep cannabis out of direct sunlight.
2. Heat — Excess heat dries out trichomes and terpenes. Keep storage cool.
3. Humidity — Too much causes mold. Too little dries out flower. Target 58-62% relative humidity.
4. Air — Oxygen degrades cannabinoids over time. Minimize air exposure.

Best Storage Method

Use an airtight dark glass jar in a cool, dark place. Mason jars work great. Ideal temperature: 60-70 degrees F. Use Boveda humidity packs to maintain 58-62% relative humidity.

What NOT to Use

• Plastic bags — Static strips trichomes. Fine for transport, bad for storage.
• The fridge or freezer — Humidity fluctuation and brittle trichomes ruin quality.
• On top of electronics — Heat degrades your product.

Storing Other Products

• Edibles — Follow the label. Keep away from heat and sunlight.
• Vape cartridges — Store upright at room temperature. Do not leave in a hot car.
• Concentrates — Parchment paper or silicone container in a cool, dark spot.
