Storing Cannabis
If you have children in the house, identifying a safe place to store cannabis products when you arrive home from the dispensary is of critical importance. Processed products like chocolate bars and medicated sodas can be especially enticing to children, so it’s best to keep them locked up. Here are a few products recently reviewed by Fatherly to help parents safely store their medical marijuana.

You may also consider locking up your cannabis if you live with roommates or family members, or in a rental unit. Even if you own your own home and live by yourself, purchasing a lockable container for your medical marijuana might be worth considering.

Cannabis Storage Tips
Did you know that cannabis flower that isn’t stored properly can affect quality, flavor, and even the effectiveness of your medicine? Most cannabis flower has a stable shelf-life of up to a year or more when it’s been cured and stored properly. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

High temperatures can cause cannabis to dry out, which can damage the terpenes and cause them to evaporate. Don’t store cannabis containers near a heater, water system, or outside the home. You also need to avoid freezing temperatures which can burst the delicate trichomes. Good spots might include closets, drawers, or cabinets.

UV light can also break down the cannabinoids and terpenes, so make sure containers are always stored in a dark place and never leave cannabis containers on a windowsill or in direct sunlight.
Don’t store cannabis in the refrigerator, as the fluctuations in temperature and humidity will increase the chances of growing mold. Any contact with moisture can cause mold to grow.
You also don’t want cannabis to get too dry as it can degrade the cannabinoids and terpenes. Ideal humidity levels are between 59% and 63% RH (relative humidity). Here are a few reviews of products that can help control the humidity of your cannabis.

Ensure any containers you use are clean and free from dirt and grime that could contain bacteria or mold spores.

Edibles and other forms of administration have their own guidelines about storage. Some need to be refrigerated; others don’t.Tinctures and concentrates can degrade from exposure to light, heat, and humidity as well. State recommendations include using all cannabis products by the stated expiration date and keeping them in their original container.
