Debunking Popular Cannabis Storage Misconceptions
As your trusted cannabis experts, we at BeLeaf feel it’s our responsibility to address some persistent myths about proper cannabis storage. Let’s clear the air about some common misconceptions that could be affecting your experience.
The Refrigerator Myth
One of the most widespread myths is that storing cannabis in your refrigerator keeps it fresh longer. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Refrigerators create fluctuating humidity levels that can actually damage your cannabis and promote mold growth.
Common Storage Myths to Avoid:
- Storing in plastic bags (they create static and damage trichomes)
- Keeping cannabis in direct sunlight (degradation occurs rapidly)
- Using tobacco humidors (cedar wood affects flavor)
- Freezing your products (trichomes become brittle and break off)
The Right Way to Store
Instead, focus on these key storage principles:
1. Use airtight glass containers
2. Store in a cool, dark place
3. Maintain consistent temperature (60-70°F)
4. Keep humidity levels between 59-63%
