diversion safes available to protect
your valuables. These are cleverly
designed to look like everyday items
to fool almost any burglar or person of
disreputable character. From working
wall clock safes to fake electrical
wall outlets that contain a fold-out
tray, there are several excellent ways
to conceal your favourite goodies.
A Prescription Bottle
with a Combination Cap
As with most prescriptions, MMJ can be
stored in a prescription bottle—but not
your typical drug store version. Those
bottles generally come with a childproof
cap that practically any child can open
with a little time and minimal effort. The
effectiveness of those so-called safety
caps is minimal at best.
Instead, there are prescription bottles
available that offer added protection
from busy little (or big) hands. By creating
your own four-digit combination
to secure the cap, you decrease the
likelihood of someone intentionally or
inadvertently opening the bottle.
Humidors
Effective methods for maintaining moisture
content and shelf life are key factors
in preserving the potency of your herb.
Marijuana-dedicated humidors are a
popular and efficacious way to keep your
MMJ fresh and strong for a long period. A
tobacco humidor, while great for keeping
pipe and rolling tobacco fresh, is not
recommended for marijuana storage. Cigar
and tobacco humidors are generally made
of cedar wood and anyone familiar with
cedar knows it emanates a woody smell that
potentially can transfer to the tobacco.
In addition, where optimum relative humidity
levels for tobacco range from 70 to 72
per cent, marijuana stores best in a lower
humidity environment of 55 to 72 per cent.
There are humidors on the market constructed
explicitly to protect and preserve your
favourite herb.
And, just because we can, here’s a
sixth way to stash your cannabis: If
you are in a household where such
safety isn’t a concern, airtight glass
jars kept in a dark place will suffice
very nicely for storage purposes.
