The Truth About Cold Storage
Storing cannabis in your refrigerator can lead to:
• Excess moisture buildup
• Potential mold growth
• Degradation of valuable terpenes and cannabinoids

Best Storage Practices
Instead of refrigeration, focus on these key storage factors:
• Temperature: Keep products at room temperature (68-77°F)
• Light exposure: Store in a dark place
