Let’s Clear the Air About Cannabis Storage
As more people in New Jersey embrace the benefits of legal cannabis, proper storage remains one of the most misunderstood aspects of maintaining product quality. At Roots Dispensary, we regularly educate our guests about best practices for preserving their purchases.
Top Storage Myths Debunked:
1. The Refrigerator Myth
Many believe storing cannabis in the fridge keeps it fresh longer. Actually, the fluctuating humidity and temperature can damage the delicate compounds and promote mold growth.
2. The Plastic Bag Fallacy
Using plastic bags might seem convenient, but they create static electricity that can strip valuable trichomes from your flower. Instead, use airtight glass containers stored in a cool, dark place.
3. The Tobacco Humidor Misconception
While humidors are great for tobacco, their cedar lining can affect cannabis flavors and potentially over-humidify your products.
Best Storage Practices:
• Use UV-protected glass containers
• Store at room temperature (68-77°F)
• Keep away from direct sunlight
• Maintain proper humidity levels (58-62%)
• Store different strains separately
Whether you’re visiting from Cherry Hill, Mount Laurel, or anywhere in South Jersey, proper storage ensures you get the most value from your purchase. Remember, quality preservation starts with quality products and proper storage techniques.
