Best Ways to Keep Cannabis Away From Kids and Pets

Cannabis can be beneficial for adults when used responsibly, however, it can be harmful to children and pets. Cannabis can lead to a range of adverse effects, including dizziness, nausea, and potentially more serious health issues. But a few simple precautions can prevent accidental ingestion and keep your kids and pets safe.

4 Tips for Securing Your Cannabis Stash:

Use a Lock Box
A lockable stash box is one of the most effective methods to keep your cannabis away from kids and pets. Look for boxes that are sturdy, child-proof, and can only be opened with a combination or a key. Giving Tree dispensary in Phoenix, Arizona offers a superb lock box, The GT Stash Box. It’s a stylish bamboo lock box that includes a rolling tray, brush, three frosted glass containers, and a combination lock to keep pets and kids out.

Keep It Out-of-Reach
Hide your cannabis in a place that isn’t accessible to children and pets, such as high shelves, top cabinets, or locked closets. Ensure these places are not easily climbable and regularly check that they remain secure and out of reach.

Educate
Make sure all family members understand the importance of keeping cannabis products away from children and pets.

Regularly Check Stash
Periodically check your cannabis stash. Ensure that the stash box is always locked, the key is stored safely, and the products are in their original packaging.
