And That’s Show Biz, Baby: The Unofficial Guide to Pairing Strains with Taylor Swift’s New Tracks

"The Ultimate Guide to Pairing Strains with The Life of a Showgirl" is the title of a blog post on a header with an orange, sparkly texture. Below the header, three blurry images of product containers, each with a sparkly orange padlock icon on it, are shown against a light blue-green background.

And That's Show Biz, Baby: The Unofficial Guide to Pairing Strains with Taylor Swift's New Tracks

Taylor Swift is about to drop The Life of a Showgirl, and we already know it’s going to have us twirling our feather boas and shedding a few glittery tears. Since the music isn’t here yet, we’re doing the next best thing! We’re pairing the vibes of her upcoming track list with cannabis strains you can find right here at NatureMed dispensaries. From glittery hybrids to sensual gummies, we’ve got the perfect match for every move. And don’t worry, once the album officially lands, we’ll update with even more curated cannabis pairings.

The Life of a Showgirl ft. Sabrina Carpenter = Glitter Bomb by Royal

This title track is destined to be the centerpiece of the album. Sparkly, bold, and impossible to ignore! That’s why we’re pairing it with Glitter Bomb by Royal. Bursting with fruity terpenes and an uplifting euphoric high, it’s a hybrid that shines as bright as the Vegas stage. Perfect for when you want to feel like the star of the show.

Three orange glittery vinyl records with a purple "Vlasic Labs" flower minis container placed vertically on top of the middle record. Text at the top of the image reads "WILBUR'S GELATO BY VLASIC LABS + ELDEST DAUGHTER".

Honey = Honeybee Live Rosin Gummies

Taylor naming a track Honey tells us it’s going to be slow, sweet, and a little sensual. Our pick? Honeybee Live Rosin Gummies. These melt-in-your-mouth treats deliver full-spectrum flavor and a cozy, body-soothing high. With relaxing terpenes that lead toward linalool and myrcene, they’re perfect for a night of intimacy or just indulging in some sweetness solo.

Actually Romantic = Blueberry Cupcake by Vertical

We’re betting this one is playful and cheeky, leaning into romance with a wink. Blueberry Cupcake by Vertical brings the perfect pairing with its decadent berry-and-cream flavor profile. Rich in myrcene and limonene, this flower delivery a smooth, relaxing high that sets the stage for candlelit conversations, cozy cuddles, and, well, actually being romantic.

Three orange glittery vinyl records with a yellow and orange "Timeless" brand vape cartridge placed vertically on top of the middle record. Text at the top of the image reads "STRAWBERRY COUGH BY TIMELESS + THE FATE OF OPHELIA"

The Fate of Ophelia = Strawberry Cough by Timeless

Shakespeare fans (and Swifties) already know this one: Ophelia’s story in Hamlet is tragic, poetic, and unforgettable. We’re expecting the track to feel like a haunting ballad, and Strawberry Cough by Timeless captures that vibe beautifully. With its sweet strawberry flavor and uplifting cerebral effects, this vape blends melancholy and light, helping you float through the drama with creativity and clarity. Pinene in its terpene mix adds a refreshing edge, like a breath of crisp night air on a misty stage.

Eldest Daughter = Wilbur’s Gelato by Vlasic Labs

If you know you know. Track 5’s are sacred. It’s where Taylor cuts the deepest. Eldest Daughter sounds like it’ll be raw, emotional, and gut-wrenching and is a ballad about carrying burdens no one else sees. Wilbur’s Gelato by Vlasic Labs is our match for that intensity. Its terpene profile balances myrcene’s grounding calm with limonene’s lift, making it the kind of strain that helps you process the heavy stuff while still finding moments of light. This one’s best paired with tissues, journals, and maybe a light-night heart-to-heart.

Three orange glittery vinyl records with a white "Royal" brand vape cartridge placed vertically on top of the middle record. Text at the top of the image reads "GLITTER BOMB BY ROYAL + THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL FT. SABRINA CARPTENER".

CANCELLED! = Super Boof by Vivid

This track is probably the boldest moment on the album, unapologetic, brash, and loud. Pair it with Super Boof by Vivid, a hybrid that is just as commanding. Known for its rich, earthy flavor and strong euphoric effect, Super Boof takes up space and refuses to apologize for it. It is the perfect strain for when you are leaning into that zero-regrets energy.

Setting the Stage at NatureMed

From glittery hybrids to heartstring-tugging strains, these cannabis pairings are the perfect way to set the scene for Taylor’s Showgirl era. Once the album drops, we will be back with more curated sesh recommendations.

How to Store Your Cannabis During the Summer

How to Store Your Cannabis During the Summer

Summer is officially here, which means it’s time for sunshine, poolside chillin’, and all the warm-weather vibes. But while the heat might feel great for you, it’s definitely not ideal for your cannabis. If you want your flower to stay fresh and your edibles to stay edible (no melted messes, please), storing your stash the right way during the hotter months is a must. Let’s get into how to keep everything tasting, smelling, and hitting like it should.

Why Heat Isn’t Your Weed’s Friend

First things first: heat is one of the biggest enemies of your cannabis. When temperatures climb too high, especially above 77°F, THC can start to degrade. That means your flower might not be as potent as when you first bought it. On top of that, excessive heat can dry out your buds fast, which makes them harsh to smoke and can strip away those flavorful terpenes you love.

Even worse, leaving your stash in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill can make it go bad real quick. So, if you’ve ever taken a hit that tasted like cardboard or hit weirdly weak, high temps could be the reason.

Humidity Can Be Just as Bad

Now let’s talk humidity. Missouri summers can get humid AF, and too much moisture in the air is a recipe for mold, especially if your cannabis is in plastic bags or unsealed containers. While a little moisture is good to keep your flower from turning to dust, high humidity creates the perfect environment for mildew and bacteria.

Because of that, it’s super important to store your cannabis somewhere with consistent airflow and stable humidity. Ideally, you want your storage space to stay between 55 to 62% relative humidity. Anything too high or too low can mess with quality and shelf life.

Using the Right Storage Containers

Glass jars with airtight lids are your best bet when it comes to cannabis storage. Mason jars work great, but you can also find stash jars made specifically for weed that block out harmful UV light. That extra layer of protection helps keep your buds from drying out or getting too warm.

On the flip side, try to avoid plastic bags and containers whenever possible. They can create static, which pulls the trichomes off your flower. And we all know the trichomes are where the magic lives. If you’re still using a plastic bag, consider this your sign to upgrade.

Find the Perfect Spot

Once you’ve got a good container, think about where you’re keeping it. A cool, dark place like a drawer, cabinet, or closet is ideal. You want to avoid anywhere that gets direct sunlight or fluctuates in temperature throughout the day.

Importantly, don’t store your cannabis in the fridge or freezer. While it might seem like a good idea during the summer, those cold temps can mess with the trichomes, making them brittle and easier to break off. It’s a common mistake that leads to wasted product.

Keep Edibles Fresh, Too

It’s not just flower that needs protection. Your infused treats do, too. Chocolates, gummies, and even baked goods can melt or get gross if stored in a hot room. If your AC isn’t cutting it, you can pop your edibles in the fridge, but make sure they’re sealed tightly to avoid moisture issues or weird smells.

Also, always store your edibles in a child-proof container and away from pets. Summer means kids and animals might be around more often, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Don’t Forget About Vape Carts and Concentrates

Vape cartridges and concentrates like wax or live resin also need a little summer care. When carts get too warm, the oil can thin out and start leaking. Concentrates may lose their texture and flavor, especially if exposed to direct heat or light.

To prevent this, store your vapes and extracts in a cool, shaded spot, just like your flower. If you’re on the go, try using a small insulated bag or case to keep them protected while traveling or heading to a friend’s house.

Don’t Let Summer Ruin Your Stash

Keeping your cannabis fresh during summer doesn’t have to be complicated. Store it in the right container, keep it out of the heat and light, and check on it once in a while. And if something does go bad? No worries! Our shelves are always stocked with fresh flower, vapes, edibles, and more. Hit up your closes NatureMed dispensary, shop our daily deals or browse our online menu to restock with the good stuff. Stay cool out there.

How to Create the Ultimate At-Home Smoke & Yoga Sesh

How to Create the Ultimate At-Home Smoke & Yoga Sesh

If you’ve ever stretched into the downward dog and thought, “this would be better with a little cannabis,” you’re not a lone. Combining cannabis and yoga is nothing new! Practitioners have been exploring this mellow match for centuries. The blend of mindful movement and calming cannabinoids can be the perfect recipe for a relaxed body, a quiet mind, and a deeper connection to yourself (and your living room floor).

First things first: set the vibe. Think soft lighting, a cozy corner, and maybe a playlist that screams “zen with a groove.” You don’t need a full-on yoga studio, just a yoga mat, some open space, and your favorite cannabis product. Whether you’re into flower, edibles, or a smooth-hitting preroll, the goal here is to ease into relaxation, not blast off to another planet. Choosing something light and calming, like an indica or indica-leaning hybrid, to help ground your energy.

Timing is everything. Consider enjoying your cannabis 15 to 30 minutes before your practice begins, depending on your method. Inhalables like prerolls or vapes work faster, while edibles take their sweet time (but can add a whole new level to your savasana if timed right). Sip some water, take a few deep breaths, and give yourself permission to slow way, way down.

Now, onto the movement. Don’t worry about hitting the perfect poses, this isn’t about impressing anyone! Keep your flows gentle and intuitive. Think stretches that feel good in your body, like cat-cow, seated forward folds, or easy twists. Cannabis can help you tune in to your body’s sensations more deeply, so listen up and move in a way that feels right for you. You might find a simple pose like child’s pose feels especially relaxing after a toke.

And hey, don’t forget to laugh! Cannabis has a way of making things a little sillier, so if you find yourself wobbling during tree pose or giggling in pigeon, lean into it. Your home practice doesn’t need to be serious. It’s yours! Have fun, breathe deep, and let yourself enjoy the ride. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s presence.

Savasana, or final relaxation, might just become your new favorite part. Laying down, fully supported, and totally mellowed out? Yes, please! Add a blanket, a pillow under your knees, and maybe even a lavender eye mask if you’re feeling fancy. Let your high gently melt into your stillness. Just remember: don’t drift off too hard! You still have snacks to get to!

Pairing cannabis with yoga at home is all about creating space for breath, movement, and blissed-out relaxation. Whether it’s a quick 10-minute stretch session or a full hour of flow, adding cannabis can deepen your awareness, soften tension, and make your mat feel like the coziest place on earth.

Ready to enhance your next solo sesh? Head over to our daily deals page for fresh savings on prerolls, flower, and more. And don’t forget to check out our menu to stock up on your favorite products before you unroll that mat. Happy stretching, happy smoking, and namaste high.

420 Hungover? Here’s How to Recover Like a Pro

420 Hangover? Here's How to Recover Like a Pro

Whew. You did it! You celebrated 420 like a champion. Whether you went all in with our Out-of-This-World Strain Picks or kept it chill with some low-dose cannabis beverages, chances are you’re feeling a little… sluggish. A bit foggy. Maybe still stuck on the couch wondering where all the snacks went. It’s okay! You might just be experiencing the classic 420 hangover.

First off: yes, a cannabis hangover is real, though it’s a lot gentler than the kind caused by alcohol. The most common “morning after” effects include grogginess, dry mouth, slight headache, and feeling like your brain’s still buffering. Usually, this happens after overindulging–think high-potency edibles, a terp-heavy strain lineup, or marathon seshes that turned into “just one more bowl” situations.

To bounce back, hydration is your best bud. Water, herbal teas, and electrolyte drinks can work wonders to reboot your system. Bonus points for drinks with ginger or lemon–they’re soothing and refreshing. Your endocannabinoid system may be a little overwhelmed, so give it some love with healthy food, light movement, and (yes) a solid nap if you can swing it.

And if you’re looking to ease back into things slowly, consider reaching for some CBD. It won’t get you high, but it might help calm your nervous system and bring some gentle balance. Our educational guide dives deeper into how this non-intoxicating cannabinoid supports recover and relaxation. CBD can be especially helpful if you’re still feeling mentally foggy but need to get on with your day.

You might also want to check out how terpenes–the aromatic compounds in cannabis–played a role in your 420 experience. Strains high in myrcene or linalool, for example, can have strong sedative effects. Understanding terpenes can help you plan better for future activities. 

Still moving slow? Embrace it! A light cleanup session, paired with your favorite mellow playlist, can be surprisingly therapeutic. Our blog on Spring Cleaning with Cannabis has some great tips on using cannabis mindfully to refresh your space and mindset. You might even discover a new favorite ritual that makes the post-420 haze feel more like a reset than a crash.

So next time you go big for 420, you’ll know how to pace yourself–and how to recover like a seasoned sesh expert. In the meantime, treat yourself to something gentle. Browse our menu for relaxing strains, low-dose edibles, or CBD-rich options that can help you glide back into balance. And don’t forget to check out our daily deals–we’ve got plenty of post-420 pick-me-ups waiting for you!

Spring Cleaning with Cannabis for a Fresh Start

Spring Cleaning with Cannabis for a Fresh Start

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and spring is finally here! There’s no better time to refresh your space, your stash, and your routine. A good spring cleaning can work wonders for your mindset, and cannabis can make the process even more enjoyable. Whether you’re decluttering your home, reorganizing your cannabis collection, or resetting your wellness habits, we’ve got tips to help you embrace the new season with a fresh start.

Set the Vibe with an Uplifting Strain

Cleaning doesn’t have to feel like a chore—especially when you’ve got the right cannabis to keep your energy up. A sativa or sativa-dominant hybrid can help boost motivation and turn tidying up into a productive and even fun experience. Strains like Jack Herer or Tangie are known for their uplifting effects and citrusy aromas, which pair perfectly with the fresh feeling of spring. If you prefer a lighter touch, a low-dose edible or infused beverage can give you just enough of a lift to keep things moving.

Declutter Your Stash and Refresh Your Gear

If you haven’t checked the expiration dates on your cannabis products in a while, now’s the time. Old, dried-out flower loses its potency and flavor, while expired edibles or tinctures may not be as effective. Go through your collection, toss anything past its prime, and make note of what needs replacing. While you’re at it, give your grinder, pipes, and glassware a deep clean—nothing ruins a good session like a clogged or dirty piece.

Rubbing alcohol and coarse salt work wonders for glassware, while warm water and mild soap are great for silicone and metal tools. If you’re looking for more storage tips, check out our blog on How to Store Cannabis in Cold Weather—many of those tips apply year-round!

Bring on the Fresh Scents and Flavors

Spring is all about renewal, so why not switch up your go-to strains and try something fresh? Citrus, floral, and fruity strains can be a great way to embrace the season. Look for strains like Strawberry Cough, Lavender, or Lemon Skunk to add a little extra brightness to your stash. If flower isn’t your thing, explore new edibles or vapes with seasonal flavors like berry, mango, or mint.

Consider adding cannabis-infused aromatherapy to your cleaning routine as well. Lighting a terpene-rich candle or diffusing essential oils like limonene or linalool can enhance relaxation while keeping your space smelling fresh.

Reset Your Routine with Cannabis and Wellness

Spring is the perfect time to re-evaluate your daily habits and incorporate cannabis into a wellness-focused routine. If you’ve been feeling sluggish, try incorporating cannabis into a morning yoga session or an evening wind-down ritual. A balanced CBD:THC tincture can help promote relaxation without heavy sedation, while a microdose of THC can support creativity and focus throughout the day.

This is also a great time to swap out heavier winter comfort foods for lighter, fresher cannabis-infused recipes. Try a homemade cannabis smoothie or a bright citrus-infused salad dressing to bring some seasonal flavors into your meals.

Fresh Season, Fresh Products

With spring in full swing, it’s the perfect time to refresh your stash with new strains, edibles, and concentrates. Whether you’re looking for an energizing sativa to power through cleaning or a relaxing indica to unwind after a productive day, we’ve got the perfect products to help you embrace the season. Check out our menu to explore what’s in stock, and don’t forget to browse our daily deals for the best savings on your favorites!

How to Beat Daylight Savings Time with Cannabis

How to Beat Daylight Savings Time with Cannabis

Daylight savings time is back, and with it comes the dreaded lost hour of sleep. If you’re feeling groggy, cranky, or just out of sync, you’re not alone. The time shift can mess with your internal clock, leaving you struggling to wake up in the morning or tossing and turning at night. Luckily, cannabis can help make the transition smoother, whether you need a little extra energy to power through the day or a sleep aid to adjust to the new schedule.

Start the Day with an Energizing Sativa

Waking up an hour earlier is rough, but the right cannabis strain can help you shake off the sleepiness and get moving. Sativas and sativa-leaning hybrids are known for their uplifting effects, making them a great choice for an early morning boost. Look for strains like Super Lemon Haze or Durban Poison, which can help improve focus and motivation without the jitters of caffeine. If you prefer something discreet, a THC-infused beverage or a low-dose gummy can give you a gentle lift without the overwhelming effects.

Midday Slump? Try a Microdose

One of the biggest struggles with daylight savings time is the dreaded afternoon crash. Your body still thinks it’s an hour earlier, making you feel sluggish just when you need to be productive. Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee, consider a microdose of cannabis. A small dose of a balanced THC:CBD tincture or a mild hybrid strain can provide a little boost without making you feel groggy. If you work from home, a quick cannabis-infused tea break might be just the thing to reset your focus.

This is also a great time to incorporate cannabis into your movement routine. A short walk or a light yoga session paired with an uplifting strain like Green Crack can help shake off fatigue and get you back on track.

Wind Down with an Indica for Better Sleep

The hardest part of adjusting to daylight savings is often bedtime. Your body may not feel ready to sleep an hour earlier, leading to tossing, turning, and groggy mornings. To help reset your internal clock, try a relaxing indica strain like Granddaddy Purple or Northern Lights about an hour before bed. Edibles can also be a great option since their effects last longer, helping you stay asleep through the night.

If sleep is a major struggle for you, consider a product with CBN, a cannabinoid known for its sedative effects. Many of our sleep-friendly edibles and tinctures contain a blend of THC, CBD, and CBN to help promote deep, restful sleep.

Find the Best Cannabis for Your Routine

Whether you need a little extra energy to get going in the morning or a sleep aid to help you doze off, we’ve got the perfect product to help you adjust to daylight savings time. Browse our menu to find energizing sativa, relaxing indicas, and everything in between. Don’t forget to check out our daily deals for the best savings on your favorites!

How to Make Weed Brownies: a Beginner’s Guide

How to Make Weed Brownies: A Beginner's Guide

Who doesn’t love a classic weed brownie? Whether you’re new to edibles or a seasoned pro, making your own at home is easier than you think. In this guide, we’ll walk you though the process step by step–from decrying your weed to baking the perfect batch.

Step 1: Decarboxylation – The Key to Potent Brownies

Before you bake, you need to activate the THC in your weed through decarboxylation.

How to decarb your weed:

  • Preheat your oven to 220-240 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Break your cannabis into small pieces and spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
  • Your weed should turn light golden brown and be slightly dry and crumbly.

Step 2: Making Cannabutter or Cannabis Oil

Once your weed is decarbed, you need to infuse it into fat (butter or oil) so your body can absorb the THC.

Cannabutter Recipe:

  • Melt 1 cup of butter in a saucepan on low heat.
  • Add a half ounce to 1 ounce of decarbed weed and let it simmer on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Strain through a cheesecloth into a container, discarding the plant material.

Step 3: Baking Your Brownies

You can use a store-bought brownie mix or make them from scratch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade recipe).
  • Cannabutter (replace regular butter with your infused butter).
  • Eggs & water (as required by the mix.

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix the brownie ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes (or according to the box instructions).
  • Let them cool before cutting into squares.

Step 4: Dosing Your Edibles

Start low and go slow! Edibles take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. If unsure about potency, eat half of a brownie first, wait, and assess before eating more.

Final Tips & Variations

  • Add chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of caramel for extra flavor.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temp for a few days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Try making vegan weed brownies by using coconut oil instead of butter.

Conclusion

Now you know how to make weed brownies at home! Whether you’re baking for fun or a chill night in, homemade edibles let you control potency and flavor.

The Ultimate Cannabis Pairings for the Big Game

The Ultimate Cannabis Pairings for the Big Game

The Super Bowl is more than just a game–it’s a full-on experience, especially when the Kansas City Chiefs are in the spotlight. Whether you’re hosting a watch party or enjoying the game solo, pairing the right cannabis products with different moments of the night can take your Super Bowl Sunday to the next level. From pre-game excitement to post-game celebrations (or stress relief), here’s how to enhance your experience with the perfect strain or infused treat.

Pre-Game Hype: Get in the Zone

Before kickoff, it’s all about getting hyped. You want a strain that energizes, enhances focus, and gets you in the right mindset for the big game. A sativa like Durban Poison or Super Leon Haze is perfect for this moment–both offering uplifting effects that can boost your energy and enthusiasm. If you’re more into edibles, a low-dose sativa-infused gummy or energy shot can keep you engaged without overwhelming you before the action starts.

First Quarter: The Kickoff Strain

The game is underway, and tensions are rising. This is a great time for a balanced hybrid that keeps you relaxed but still alert. Strains like Blue Dream or Pineapple Express provide a euphoric yet clear-headed experience, letting you enjoy the game while keeping your nerves in check. Pair it with an infused drink for a smooth onset–perhaps a low-dose THC seltzer or a cannabis-infused lemonade to keep things light and refreshing.

Halftime: Munchies & Mid-Game Boost

Halftime is for refueling, both with snacks and cannabis. This is the perfect time for an edible or infused treat, especially one that enhances flavors. A THC-infused chocolate or cookie pairs well with classic game-day foods like wings and nachos. If you’re looking for a social strain, try Gelato or Wedding Cake, which offer a balanced high that keeps you in the moment while enjoying the halftime show.

Fourth Quarter: The Clutch Strain

The final quarter is make-or-break, and emotions run high–especially if it’s a close game. If you’re feeling the stress, a calming hybrid or indica strain like Granddaddy Purple or Northern Lights can help keep your cool. A CBD-dominant option could also be a smart move if you’re trying to stay more level-headed while still enjoying the buzz.

Post-Game: Celebrating (or Coping) with the Outcome

Win or lose, you need the right strain to wrap up the night. If the Chiefs take home the victory, go for something euphoric and celebratory like Mimosa or Strawberry Cough–strains that keep the good vibes going. If the game didn’t go as planned, something more relaxing like Bubba Kush or Lavender can help was the disappointment and get you ready for a good night’s sleep.

No matter how you’re watching the Super Bowl, having the right cannabis products on hand can make the experience even better. Check out our menu for the best strains, infused drinks, and game-day essentials. Plus, don’t miss out on our daily deals to save on your favorites before kickoff.

How to Store Cannabis in Cold Weather

How to Store Cannabis in Cold Weather

As winter sets in and temperatures drop, cannabis enthusiasts may wonder how to keep their stash fresh during the colder months. Proper storage is essential to maintaining the potency, flavor, and overall quality of your cannabis, regardless of the season. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the best practices for storing cannabis in winter and explain how colder weather might affect your favorite flower.

Cannabis is sensitive to its environment, and improper storage can cause it to degrade over time. Light, air, humidity, and temperature all play a role in preserving cannabis quality. While summer heat can dry out flower and ruin terpenes, winter weather presents its own challenges, including overly dry air and fluctuating indoor temperatures. Learning how to protect your cannabis is key to enjoying its full potential.

Winter can be tough on cannabis if it’s not stored properly. Cold, dry air can sap moisture from your flower, leaving it brittle and harsh to smoke. Additionally, temperature fluctuations from outdoor cold and indoor heating can destabilize the cannabinoids and terpenes in your cannabis, diminishing its flavor and effects. Without the right precautions, your stash might lose its potency before you can enjoy it.

Humidity is critical for preserving cannabis quality. In winter, the air is often drier, which can dry out your bud and make it less enjoyable to use. Adding humidity packs, like Boveda or Integra Boost, to your storage container can help maintain the ideal humidity level (around 58-62%). These packs are inexpensive and easy to use, making them a great investment for winter storage.

While extreme heat is bad for cannabis, so is freezing cold. Never store your cannabis in the freezer or a frigid environment. Freezing temperatures can make trichomes brittle, causing them to break off and reducing the potency of your flower. Instead, aim to store your stash in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature.

Light is one of the biggest enemies of cannabis quality. UV rays can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes, reducing the effectiveness and flavor of your flower. During the winter, store your cannabis in an opaque or tinted glass jar and keep it in a dark spot, such as a drawer or cabinet, away from direct sunlight.

During winter, heating systems and closed spaces can make odors linger. If you want to keep your cannabis discreet, an airtight container will also help contain its smell. Additionally, consider using activated carbon odor absorbers near your stash to further reduce scents in your home.

With these tips, you can ensure your cannabis stays fresh and enjoyable all winter long. Whether you’re stocking up for cozy nights in or preparing for your next session, keeping your stash in peak condition is a must. If you’re running low, be sure to check out our menu for premium cannabis products! Don’t forget to explore our daily deals for fresh, high-quality flower, edibles, and concentrates at unbeatable prices. Shop now and stay warm this winter!
