As parents of little people know, children have an uncanny ability to find their way into everything that is precious. Pets seem to possess the same sixth sense. Around most households, dangerous and toxic items such as hot or sharp objects and chemicals are kept locked away to prevent accidents from happening. Cannabis, whether medical or recreational, should be treated no differently. Essentially, it is another substance and it should be treated as such. You do not want a child or an animal ingesting your stash, just as you don’t want them getting into your whisky.

Where Do I Put It?

When you are looking for the perfect stash spot to protect your kids and pets, keep a few things in mind:

  • Stash your hash up high. Find somewhere well out of reach to keep your cannabis away from prying fingers and paws. The level of discretion you wish to employ is on you, but keeping your stash up high is prudent.
  • Keep your weed in the same place. For the sake of efficiency, don’t move your stash around each day, keep it in one place. Also, ALWAYS remember to put your stash away. Do not leave it out for curious hands and mouths to explore! Form healthy habits to keep your family safe, including cleaning up properly after getting high.
  • Maintain discretion at all times. If you have curious or older children, look at investing in a vape pen or something ‘subtle’ to use in tricky moments.

  • If you have more than just a little pot to hide, consider keeping your stash under lock and key, or in a lockable pouch. You can find small lockable narcotics boxes for less than $100 if a standard lock box will not provide sufficient security. Some have double key entry and digital entry.
