Storage and freshness
Cannabis quality changes with light, heat, air, and moisture. Poor storage can dry out flower, dull aroma, degrade cannabinoids, and create harsh smoke. Too much moisture can encourage mold.
Storage rules
- Keep flower in an airtight container.
- Store away from light and heat.
- Avoid leaving products in cars.
- Keep edibles clearly labeled and away from kids and pets.
- Do not store flower wet. Mold risk is real.
