How to store CBD: keeping flowers and resin fresh
A poorly stored CBD flower or resin quickly loses its aromas, dries out or ends up going moldy. The good news: storing it well only takes a few simple habits. Here is everything you need to know.
The 3 enemies of CBD: light, heat, humidity
The rule fits in one sentence: keep your CBD away from light, heat and humidity. These three factors break down the aromas and spoil the product. On the other hand, a dark, dry and cool spot preserves everything.
| Do | Avoid |
|---|---|
| An airtight glass jar | Thin plastic bags |
| Away from light | Sun and heat sources |
| A dry, cool place | The fridge (condensation) |
| Handle with dry hands | Opening the container constantly |
The right container: the glass jar
The best ally is the airtight glass jar. It protects from air and light and does not transfer odors, unlike thin plastic which dries out and lets aromas escape. Also avoid cramming everything in: CBD needs a bit of space so it does not get crushed.
How long does CBD last?
Well stored, a CBD flower keeps its qualities for several months, often six months to a year. Resin holds up even a little better. What matters is less the date than the conditions: a product kept dry and dark ages very slowly.
How to spot spoiled CBD
A few signs do not lie: a smell of old hay or damp, a grey and dusty look, a texture that crumbles into powder, or worse, traces of mold. When in doubt, especially if there is mold, do not consume it and throw it away.
