Debunking Popular Cannabis Storage Misconceptions

As Southern California’s trusted cannabis retailer since 2006, MMD Shops has heard every storage myth imaginable. Today, we’re clearing the air about some persistent misconceptions that could be affecting your cannabis experience.

The Refrigerator Myth

One of the most common myths we encounter at our four Southern California locations is that storing cannabis in your refrigerator keeps it fresh longer. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Refrigerators create fluctuating humidity levels that can actually damage your cannabis and promote mold growth.

Proper Storage Solutions

Instead of the fridge, here’s what actually works:

• Store in an airtight glass container
• Keep in a cool, dark place
• Maintain consistent temperature between 60-70°F
• Use humidity control packs if necessary

The Plastic Container Problem

Another widespread myth is that plastic containers work just as well as glass. The truth is, plastic can create static electricity that pulls valuable trichomes from your flower, potentially degrading its quality over time.
