Consumer Safety
How should cannabis be stored safely at home?
Keep cannabis in its original labelled packaging, secured and completely out of reach of children and pets.
Last reviewed
Keep products in the original child-resistant, labelled packaging so the batch details and required warnings stay with the product.
Store them secured and out of sight and reach of children, teenagers and pets. Edibles deserve particular care because they can look like ordinary food.
If a child or pet may have consumed cannabis, contact Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 or seek emergency medical care immediately. In an emergency, call 911.
