Whether you’re a first-time patient or simply looking to optimize your cannabis experience, these essential storage tips and consumption guidelines will help you maintain product quality and achieve the best possible results.

    Proper Storage Techniques

    To maintain the potency and freshness of your cannabis products, consider these important storage methods:

    • Store in airtight glass containers
    • Keep away from direct sunlight
    • Maintain a consistent temperature between 60-70°F
    • Control humidity levels between 59-63%
    • Store different strains separately to preserve unique terpene profiles
