Halloween is the perfect time for indulging in sweet treats and spooky fun. But when it comes to adult gummies, we’ve got to be extra careful. With stories of cannabis products accidentally ending up in kids’ candy stashes making headlines, it’s more important than ever to store our goodies safely. So, let’s talk about how to keep your stash secure for a safe Halloween.
Here are 5 tips to make sure your gummies stay out of tiny hands and trick-or-treat bags:
1. Choose the Right Spot 🎃
We all have that one drawer, shelf, or cabinet where we stash things we don’t want anyone else to find. For adult gummies, aim higher—literally! Medicine cabinets are a perfect spot because, let’s be honest, kids aren’t exactly itching to rummage through a stash of cold meds and cough syrup. Storing your edibles up high and out of sight is step one in making sure your little candy monsters don’t mistake your gummies for their treats.
2. Lock It Up 🔒
Packaging alone isn’t enough to keep curious hands at bay. Sure, those child-resistant containers are great, but why not double up on safety? Invest in a lockbox or a small safe for your gummies. It’s like Fort Knox for your stash! This extra layer of protection can give you peace of mind, especially during a season when the house might be buzzing with little visitors.
3. Label Clearly 🏷️
If you’re a snack enthusiast who loves to keep all sorts of goodies around, clear labeling is your best friend. A jar of gummies can look an awful lot like candy to a kid (or even an adult who’s had a few too many pumpkin ales). Slap on a big, bold label like “Adults Only” or “Not for Kids!” and store them in a separate area from your usual treats. This way, there’s no confusion over what’s for sharing and what’s strictly for grown-ups.
4. Know the Packaging 👀
Cannabis edibles often come in fun, colorful packaging that can easily catch a kid’s eye. Make sure you’re familiar with what your adult gummies look like, so if anything goes missing or ends up where it shouldn’t, you can spot it right away. Take a mental snapshot of the packaging when you first buy it, and do a quick inventory check every now and then. Being able to recognize your edibles at a glance can save you a lot of worry and potential panic.
5. Check the Bag 🎃👀
Whether your kids have been trick-or-treating around the neighborhood or you’ve just had a Halloween party at home, always do a quick scan of their candy haul. Look for anything suspicious or out of place—like, say, a stray cannabis gummy that accidentally got mixed in. Even if you’re 100% sure your stash is secure, it’s a good habit to have. After all, safety first! And hey, you might even find your favorite candy bar in there (all in the name of safety, of course).
Halloween is all about the thrills and chills, but let’s make sure that doesn’t include any unintended scares. Follow these tips to keep your adult gummies out of the wrong hands, and you can focus on enjoying the spooky season with peace of mind. Happy Halloween!
