For regular cannabis delivery customers, knowing how to properly store products after they arrive can make a major difference in maintaining potency, flavor, and overall shelf life. Whether it’s flower, edibles, concentrates, or pre-rolls, improper storage can lead to dryness, mold, loss of terpenes, or degradation of cannabinoids like THC and CBD.

Store Flower in Airtight Glass Containers

Cannabis flower is highly sensitive to air, light, humidity, and temperature. Once delivered, flower should be transferred to an airtight glass jar if not already packaged in one. Mason jars work well, but cannabis-specific containers such as CVault or UV-protected jars provide even better results. According to a guide by Leafly, storing flower in a cool, dark place between 60–70°F with a relative humidity of 55–62% helps prevent mold and terpene loss while preserving cannabinoid content.

Use Humidity Packs for Long-Term Freshness

To extend the freshness of flower beyond a few weeks, consider using humidity control packs such as Boveda or Integra Boost. These small packets regulate moisture levels and help maintain an ideal storage environment. For frequent delivery users who stock up on multiple strains, humidity packs can preserve the distinct aromas and effects of each batch.

Keep Edibles Cool and Labeled

Cannabis-infused edibles, like gummies, chocolates, and baked goods, should be stored in their original packaging whenever possible and kept away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. If refrigeration is required (not all edibles need it), ensure they are clearly labeled to avoid accidental ingestion. For families, it’s best to store edibles in child-resistant containers in a designated cabinet.

Concentrates Require Cooler Storage

Concentrates such as wax, shatter, and live resin are best preserved in silicone or glass containers stored in a cool, dark space. For short-term use, a drawer or dark cabinet away from heat sources is sufficient. For long-term storage, refrigeration can help maintain texture and potency. As reported by High Times, never freeze concentrates unless explicitly recommended, as it can damage the product’s structure and flavor.

Keep Pre-Rolls and Vape Cartridges Upright and Dry

Pre-rolls should be stored in doob tubes or sealed containers to protect against humidity and crushing. Vape cartridges, on the other hand, are best kept upright at room temperature and away from direct light. Always ensure cartridges are tightly sealed to prevent leakage and avoid storing them in cars or hot environments, as heat can thin the oil and damage potency.

Don’t Mix Products in the Same Container

It might be tempting to store multiple cannabis products together, but mixing strains or types (flower and edibles, for example) in the same container can cause cross-contamination of flavors and moisture levels. Keep each product in its own properly sealed and labeled container.

Final Thoughts

Cannabis is an investment, and proper storage ensures the money spent on delivery doesn’t go up in smoke due to neglect. With the right tools and techniques, cannabis consumers can extend the shelf life and enjoy a consistent experience from their favorite products.
