Safe Storage of Marijuana

Safe storage practices protect household members and ensure marijuana is used responsibly.

  • Use Child-Resistant Containers:
    • Store marijuana products in containers that are designed to prevent access by children.
  • Lock It Up:
    • Keep marijuana in a locked cabinet, box, or another secure location out of reach and sight of children and pets.
  • Store Edibles with Extra Care:
    • Edible marijuana products, which can resemble regular food or candy, should be kept in clearly labeled, secure packaging to prevent accidental ingestion.
  • Keep in Original Packaging:
    • Retain the original packaging for proper labeling and to avoid confusion about the product's contents.
  • Choose a Cool, Dry Place:
    • Store marijuana away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to preserve its quality and potency.
  • Educate Household Members:
    • Ensure everyone in the home understands the importance of keeping marijuana out of reach of children and pets.
  • Talk to Your Guests About Safe Storage:
    • Inform your guests about marijuana safety if they plan on bringing it and using it within your home.
