Since 2006, MMD Shops has been Southern California’s trusted name in premium cannabis products, with four convenient locations serving the community. As your experienced neighborhood dispensary, we’re committed to helping you maintain the quality of your cannabis purchases with these essential storage tips.
Temperature and Environment Control
The key to preserving cannabis freshness starts with proper storage conditions. Keep your products in a cool, dark place between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Excessive heat can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes, while too much cold can make trichomes brittle and break off.
Container Selection Matters
Choose your storage containers wisely:
• Glass containers with airtight seals
• UV-protected containers for light sensitivity
• Humidity-controlled containers for optimal moisture
• Clean, sterilized containers to prevent contamination
Humidity Considerations
Cannabis requires specific humidity levels to maintain its quality. The ideal relative humidity range is between 59-63%. Consider using humidity control packets in your storage containers to maintain optimal moisture levels and prevent mold growth.
Common Storage Mistakes to Avoid
Many cannabis enthusiasts make these storage errors:
• Using plastic bags or containers
• Storing in direct sunlight
• Keeping products in high-temperature areas
• Multiple opening and closing of containers
• Mixing different strains in the same container
Location Selection
While MMD Shops provides excellent products at our locations across Hollywood and Long Beach, proper storage at home is crucial. Select a dedicated storage space away from:
• Heat sources
• Direct sunlight
• High-traffic areas
• Appliances that generate heat
• Areas with temperature fluctuations
Organization Tips
Keep your cannabis organized by:
• Labeling containers with purchase dates
• Separating different strains
• Rotating stock to use older products first
• Regular inventory checks
• Maintaining clean storage areas
Professional Recommendations
At MMD Shops, we’ve spent over 15 years perfecting our storage techniques. We recommend investing in quality storage solutions to protect your purchases. Consider vacuum-sealed containers for long-term storage and smaller daily-use containers for regular consumption.
When to Replace Storage Containers
Replace your storage containers when you notice:
• Weak seals
• Residue buildup
• Scratches or damage
• Persistent odors
• Signs of wear
Remember, proper storage begins at the point of purchase. Our knowledgeable staff at any of our four Southern California locations can provide additional guidance on protecting your investment in quality cannabis products.
