Why Cannabis Storage Matters

Cannabis can dry out, lose aroma, and degrade faster if it’s exposed to heat, light, or oxygen. Proper storage helps preserve the product’s freshness and overall quality.

The 3 Biggest Enemies of Fresh Cannabis

• Heat: can speed up degradation and affect oils
• Light: can break down cannabinoids over time
• Air: dries out flower and dulls aroma

How to Store Flower (Dried Cannabis)

• Use an airtight glass jar (a clean mason jar works well)
• Store in a cool, dark place (drawer or cupboard)
• Avoid the fridge/freezer for daily storage (humidity swings can cause issues)
• Keep away from windows, sunlight, and heaters

Tip: If you buy larger formats, storing portions separately can reduce repeated air exposure.

How to Store Pre-Rolls

• Keep pre-rolls in their original tube or a hard case
• Store upright when possible to reduce shifting
• Keep away from moisture (to avoid burn issues)
• Don’t leave them in hot cars or direct sunlight

How to Store Vapes (510 Carts & Disposables)

• Store upright when possible (helps reduce leaks/clogs)
• Avoid heat (oil can thin out and potentially leak)
• Keep the mouthpiece clean and capped
• For 510 carts, use the battery’s lowest setting if you’re new (reduces harshness)

Quick fix: If a cart clogs, warm it gently in your hands for a minute and try again.

How to Store Edibles & Beverages

• Follow the package instructions
• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep sealed to protect texture and flavour
• Always keep out of reach of children and pets

Safe Storage Reminder

Always store cannabis products securely, in their original packaging when possible, and away from anyone under 19.
