Setting the Record Straight on Cannabis Storage
As a trusted recreational dispensary in Round Lake Beach, IL, Altius Dispensary frequently encounters questions about proper cannabis storage. Let’s debunk one of the most persistent myths we hear from our valued customers.
The Myth: Storing Cannabis in the Refrigerator Keeps It Fresh Longer
This is one of the most common misconceptions we encounter at Altius Dispensary. Many people believe that keeping their cannabis products in the refrigerator will extend their shelf life, similar to fresh produce. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Here’s why refrigerator storage is problematic:
• Temperature fluctuations create condensation
• Excess moisture can lead to mold growth
• Cold temperatures can damage delicate trichomes
• Refrigerator odors can affect taste and aroma
The Truth About Proper Storage
The ideal storage conditions for cannabis products are:
• Room temperature (68-77°F)
• Dark location away from direct sunlight
• Airtight glass containers
• Relative humidity between 59-63%
• Clean, dry environment
At Altius, we believe in helping our customers maintain the quality of their purchases through proper storage techniques. Remember, “Change Your Altitude with Altius” means not just providing premium products but also ensuring you have the knowledge to maintain their quality.
