As with any adults-only substance, THC gummies should be stored in a cool, dry area away from pets, kids, or any other rim ramblers you don’t want invading your stash. Now, if you’ve got THC edibles tucked away in the back of your hidden drawer, check the expiration date on that bottom. Last thing you wanna do is dine on last year’s batch of delectable goodness.
Storing THC edibles properly is important to you, your home, and everyone else who may wander through. While these puppies are fun, exciting, and downright delicious, they are reserved for responsible adults who love getting baked, buttered, and crispy—in a safe manner.
In this article, we’ll fill you in on all the secrets for storing cannabis edibles safely. We’ll give some tips on how to keep ’em fresh and how to tell the exemplary from the expired. Plus, we’ll explain why, in a sea of knock-offs and counterfeits, TRĒ House THC gummies stand above the rest, restin’ pretty as the gold standard for psychoactive stunners. Here, we’re talkin’ ’bout storage and storing; we’ve got so much in store. (No, I won’t apologize for that pun.)
How Long Do THC Gummies Last?
Typically, once we’ve packaged them and sent them to you, en route to bringing you endless giggles, THC gummies can last around two years—if they’re stored properly. When a THC gummy is exposed to constant light, high temperatures, or moist air, these factors can severely impact the gummy’s freshness.
Also, the trip a gummy takes to become a gummy will play a part in its longevity. Other brands (not pointing fingers) like to skip some steps in the extraction and filtration process, taking their cannabis buds through a faster and cheaper route to concoct chewy, fruity gummies. While this path might sweeten the bottom line, it sours the end product. Various manufacturing chemicals can linger in janky, slipshod gummies. These toxins can erode the gummy’s integrity and speed up the expiration process, resulting in an unreliable expiration date.
Luckily, we don’t have that problem. To prove it, take out your favorite TRĒ House THC edibles (Don’t have any? What are you waiting for?!), find the QR code on the back, and scan that bad boi. This code will take you to all our lab reports for each individual product. Here, you can confirm just what’s inside your THC edibles of choice and see all our hard work speak for itself.
Can You Tell if Weed Gummies Are Expired?
It’s with a heavy heart we gotta say this: our gummies don’t last forever. These puppies are vegan and come packed with natural flavorings and sweeteners. So, a day will come when they are no longer fit to get you and your buddies cosmically baked. (Pssst … that’s when you re-up!)
To find the expiration date for our gummies, flip the bottle over and check the bottom. But let’s say, through forces beyond your control, the ink on the bottom has faded, and you are looking at a 4 that could be a 9 or a 5 that is now an 8. The first step of action is popping open the bottle and taking a big ’ole sniff. Do the gummies have a funky smell? Do they smell kinda off? If so, trash those fallen soldiers and re-up.
Now, is your sense of smell not really your best asset? That’s perfectly okay. Take a nibble off a gummy and give it a taste. Is that funky flavor overtaking your taste buds? Spit that piece out, trash that bottle, shop with us, and order another round of your favorite THC edibles. See, easy peasy.
Why Is It Important to Store Cannabis Gummies Safely?
It’s essential to store THC edibles safely because you want them to retain their freshness and stay out of reach from pets and children.
Now, time for a personal question. Where do you keep your stash of delectable edibles? Under your bed, stuffed in a shoe box? The third drawer down in your dresser, behind your socks? On the coffee table, for all to peruse? In the fridge next to a gallon of goat milk? In your car (why would you ever do this?)? Honestly, where someone stashes their stash tells us more about them than their Zodiac sign. It tells us if they’re a rule follower, rule breaker, or rule maker. How you store your edibles is key to making them last longer and retain their maximum freshness.
First thing to consider when storing your edibles is temperature. Excessive heat can cause edibles to melt, resulting in one giant gummified blob resting at the bottom of the container. Another thing to think about is moisture. If you store your edibles in a damp space, there’s a chance water can seep into the packaging and sprout mold—this is a serious problem. Next, you should consider how accessible your stash is. Is it stowed deep in a spot only you have the coordinates for? Or is it out in the open, tempting everyone who lays eyes on it?
Let’s go over a few rules for storing THC gummy edibles.
Rules for Storing Cannabis Edibles
From one seasoned edible enjoyer, here’s how to stash your stash safely.
| Storage Method | Description | Pros | Considerations |
| Cool, Dark Place | Store gummies in a cupboard or pantry away from light. | Helps maintain potency and freshness. | Make sure this space is secure and out of the way. |
| Refrigerator | Keep gummies in packaging in the fridge. | Extends shelf life; prevents melting. | Not the best option for busy households as the fridge is a frequently visited space. |
| TRĒ House Containers | Uses child-resistant containers & clear labeling. | Our gummy bottles are clearly labeled, child-resistant, and made to maximize freshness. | It’s always best to keep your THC gummies in the package they came in. |
Keep Them Packaged
Whether in a bottle or a pouch, our THC edibles are packed into safe, secure packaging. These pouches help keep the gummies in a cool, dark container, while our gummy bottles have a child-resistant lid that wards off any sticky fingers. Plus, by keeping the gummies in their packaging, you can be sure just what that gummy is. We live in a gummy world. There are CBD gummies, gummy supplements, and cannabis gummies that get you absolutely lit—and they all come in fun colors, like red, blue, and yellow. So, if you keep your cannabis gummies in their packaging, you’ll know that you’re about to be absolutely baked in the next 30 minutes to two hours.
Cool, Dry Space
When scoping out a space to store cannabis gummies, look for one that’s cool and dry. Spaces like these can help keep the edibles at a cozy room temperature, while retaining their freshness and flavor. One popular place many adults swear by is the refrigerator. (Seriously.) Here’s why that’s a bad idea.
Safe & Out of Reach
Your fridge is one of the most high-traffic places in your house. A bottle or pouch of edibles will surely catch a wandering eye. While we only use child- and pet-resistant pouches and bottles, it is still imperative to store cannabis edibles out of reach. Usually, a high cupboard or closet shelf will do the trick.
Store the Right THC Gummies
With their deliciously fresh fruit flavors and awesomely psychoactive effects, weed gummies bring a gaggle of good times and giggles. But, to keep them at their best, these gummies need to be stored properly in a cool, dry space away from harm’s reach—just so you (and only you) can enjoy every gummy to its fullest!
