Many parents use cannabis. Medical patients typically use cannabis products daily, and some parents like to have a gummy on Friday night after a long week at work. Both are valid, and both kinds of consumers face the task of keeping their weed out of their children’s hands. This mission looks somewhat different between toddler and teenager parents- but one thing is for sure: they both have the capacity to be grabby with your pot.
Regulated cannabis is sold in child-proof packaging to maintain compliance, but a parent should take further cannabis storage safety measures to ensure that products don’t end up in the wrong hands.
Change out packaging
Bright colors, fun branding, and cartoons can all be found on cannabis packaging. It would be wise to repackage those products. These are also common branding practices in the crackers, pouches, and other snacks that my toddler eats. To remove any possible confusion, store your garden gummies, flower, pre-rolls and other products in a child-safe container. A cleaned-out prescription bottle or a cannabis-specific option like The Medtainer works well. Be sure to scratch out personal details if repurposing a pharmacy container.
Keep it Locked Away
The best way to keep kids from your stash is to lock it in a safe, bag, or stash box. There are some excellent smell-proof, lockable cannabis storage solutions that could help with less nosey kids. There are also stash boxes on the market, like the Cannador, a humidor-style box that locks with a key. Both options could be enough to keep small children out, but an interested teen could possibly find their way into either.
The most secure way to lock away your weed is in a portable safe in a numbered lock stash bag in a prescription bottle. Taking every precaution possible provides the best peace of mind to parents and guardians hoping to keep their pot to themselves.
