Storing Your Medical Cannabis Supply Many of the psychoactive and therapeutic effects of medical cannabis come from cannabinoids. These are chemical compounds that provide relief to a wide range of symptoms. One example is THC which is responsible for that “high,” and CBD, which does not result in psychoactive effects. When you store your cannabis correctly, you preserve the cannabinoids and other compounds. Ā  What Happens with Poor Cannabis Storage? Medical cannabis also contains other compounds like terpenes that contribute to its effects. Terpenes give cannabis its distinct fragrance and colours, offering a wide range of health benefits. Terpenes rapidly degrade when exposed to air. Read on to learn some tips on ensuring a long shelf life for your products. This way, you can get the most your of your medical cannabis use. Ā  Tips on Proper Cannabis Storage
  • Store marijuana in an airtight container
  • Keep marijuana in a cool place
  • Keep your marijuana away from light
  • Do not store marijuana in a refrigerator or freezer
  • Never leave marijuana outside the storage container

Ā  Importance of Proper Cannabis Storage When it comes to the marijuana flower, it mustn’t be exposed to air, light, moisture, and heat to prevent a decrease in its potency.
