Summer’s great for pool parties and patio sessions—but it can be brutal on your cannabis stash. Whether you’re into gummies, flower, carts, or concentrates, keeping your products fresh and potent when the heat is on takes a little know-how. At Kind Goods, we’ve got expert tips to help you stash smart all season long.
Keep Those Gummies Gummy, Not Gooey
Cannabis-infused edibles, especially gummies, are prone to clumping and melting into one sticky mass when the heat hits. To keep each piece separate and doseable:
- Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally below 70°F.
- Avoid the fridge, unless the packaging specifically says it’s okay—humidity can mess with texture and potency.
- If you’re traveling, a small insulated lunch bag or mini cooler works wonders.
Flower Power: Keep It Fresh, Not Crispy
Cannabis flower thrives in a Goldilocks zone—not too humid, not too dry. Here’s your summer flower care checklist:
- Use airtight glass jars, preferably amber to block UV rays.
- Store in a dark cupboard—light degrades THC over time.
- Toss in a humidity pack (58–62%) to maintain freshness and prevent brittle buds.
- Keep it away from heat sources, like electronics or sunny shelves.
Carts, Concentrates & Heat
Heat affects the viscosity of cannabis oil. When too hot, it can leak or lose potency.
- Store cartridges and dabs upright in a drawer or shaded area.
- Avoid leaving them in your car or beach bag—those temps can skyrocket.
- For longer-term storage, cool (but not cold) and consistent temps are key.
Traveling with Your Stash?
If you’re on the go:
- Travel-sized stash boxes with smell-proof and UV-resistant design are your best friend.
- A silicone container can protect edibles or waxes from heat damage.
- Always check local laws when crossing state lines—just because it’s summer fun doesn’t mean the law takes a break.
