Why Safe Storage is Important

Cannabis, like any substance, can be harmful if ingested incorrectly or in excessive amounts. Children, especially younger ones, may mistake cannabis products for candy or other treats, leading to accidental ingestion. Safe storage prevents such incidents.

Best Practices for Safe Cannabis Storage

  1. Locking Up: Store your cannabis in a secure, locked container. Keep it out of reach of children, ideally in a cabinet or safe with a high level of security.
  2. Clear labeling: Always label your cannabis containers clearly as 'Do Not Touch'. This helps children understand the contents of the container.
  3. Child-proofing locks: Use child-proof locks on all storage cabinets where you keep your cannabis. This is especially important for drawers and cabinets at child height.
  4. Teach Your Children: Educate your children about the dangers of cannabis. Explain that it is an adult-only substance and should not be touched or consumed.

Legal Considerations

In many states, it is not only the responsible action but also a legal requirement to store cannabis securely, particularly when children are present.
