With the arrival of spring, it’s time to refresh and reorganize—not just your home but also your cannabis stash! Over time, cannabis and smoking accessories can accumulate residue, lose potency, or become cluttered. A little spring cleaning ensures your stash stays fresh, potent, and ready for an enjoyable experience. Whether you shop at Kind Goods or another St. Louis dispensary, maintaining your collection is essential. Here’s how to get started.
Step One: Get Your Mind Right
Spring cleaning can be a task, but setting the right mood makes it enjoyable. Consider using terpenes that enhance focus and energy while avoiding the munchies:
Humulene – Acts as an appetite suppressant.
Limonene – Promotes a bright, happy headspace.
Caryophyllene – Provides anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory benefits.
For an extra boost, take a Camino ‘Energy’ Tropical Burst Gummy 30 minutes before you start. With 10mg THC, 5mg THCV, vitamins B6 and B12, and caffeine, these sativa-like gummies enhance metabolism and keep your mind clear and focused.
Step Two: Inspect Your Cannabis Products
Cannabis, like any natural product, has a shelf life. Proper storage extends its longevity, but if it’s been sitting around, check for these signs:
Flower:
Dry, brittle texture – Indicates moisture loss, leading to a harsh smoke.
Faded aroma – Suggests a depleted terpene profile.
Mold or discoloration – White fuzz or strange hues mean it’s time to toss it.
Concentrates:
Texture changes – Wax or shatter that’s too dry, sticky, or cloudy may be degraded.
Loss of potency and aroma – If it lacks scent or effect, it’s past its prime.
Vapes:
Clogged cartridges – A burnt taste or difficulty pulling means it needs cleaning or replacing.
Oil discoloration – Darkened vape oil suggests oxidation, affecting flavor and potency.
Edibles:
Check expiration dates – Most edibles have a defined shelf life.
Texture and taste changes – Hardened gummies or off flavors indicate spoilage.
Step Three: Deep Clean Your Accessories
Residue buildup in glassware, grinders, and vape devices affects taste and performance. Give them a thorough cleaning:
Glass Pipes & Bongs – Soak in isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, then rinse well.
Grinders – Use a brush to remove debris and soak metal grinders in alcohol.
Vape Pens – Wipe down with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol, focusing on the mouthpiece and chamber.

Featuring a magnetic scrubbing system that lets you clean from the inside out, it makes reaching those hard-to-clean spots quick, easy, and oddly satisfying.
Step Four: Organize and Store Properly
A tidy stash makes for a better experience. Follow these best practices:
Use airtight containers – Glass jars with humidity packs preserve freshness.
Avoid light and heat – Store in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation.
Label your stash – Mark strains and dates to keep track of freshness.
Step Five: Restock and Refresh
Spring is a great time to refresh your collection with new strains and products. Try something different—whether it’s a new hybrid, an infused pre-roll, or an upgraded accessory. Check out premium offerings from Kind Goods, such as:
Pinpoint’s Sunny DDD Distillate Disposable – A clementine-inspired hybrid bursting with juicy citrus flavor, perfect for creativity and focus. With 94.69% THC and terpenes like limonene, myrcene, and terpinolene, it’s a pick-me-up that’s ready to go.
