Debunking the “Mason Jar in Direct Sunlight” Storage Myth
One of the most persistent myths in the cannabis community involves proper storage methods for maintaining product freshness. At Zip Cannabis, we frequently hear from customers across Hartford, Watervliet, and surrounding Michigan communities who believe storing cannabis in clear containers on windowsills is ideal. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Why This Myth is Harmful:
- UV light degrades cannabinoids
- Heat accelerates terpene evaporation
- Direct sunlight can promote mold growth
- Temperature fluctuations affect potency
The Correct Storage Method:
Instead of sun exposure, cannabis should be stored in:
- Opaque, airtight containers
- Cool, dark places
- Temperature-controlled environments (60-70°F)
- Moderate humidity levels (59-63% RH)
