The Truth About Cannabis Storage: Separating Fact from Fiction
As your trusted neighborhood cannabis experts at Terp Bros Dispensary in Astoria, we often hear misconceptions about proper storage methods for cannabis products. As one of New York State’s pioneering legal recreational dispensaries, we feel it’s our duty to educate our community about proper storage practices.
Myth #1: Storing Cannabis in the Refrigerator
Many believe that keeping cannabis in the fridge will help preserve it longer. However, the fluctuating humidity and temperature in refrigerators can actually damage your products, potentially leading to mold growth.
Myth #2: Plastic Containers Are Fine for Long-term Storage
Plastic containers might seem convenient, but they can create static electricity that removes valuable trichomes from your flower. Additionally, plastic can affect the flavor profile of your cannabis products.
The Right Way to Store Cannabis:
- Use airtight glass containers
- Store in a cool, dark place
- Maintain consistent temperature (around 70°F)
- Keep humidity levels between 59-63%
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure
