Do Cannabis edibles expire? – Weed-Smart

Store-bought, cannabis-infused products like edibles have storage guidelines. As homemade edibles often contain quickly perishable ingredients, you shouldn’t store them at all but rather consume them within two days of making them unless you are 100% sure that the used components have a longer shelf life.

Beverages

Edibles in the form of a beverage are sealed in a container. It may last for several days when left unopen. However, the moment you open it and is exposed to oxygen, you only have four to seven days to drink it before it starts to go bad.

Baked Goods

Factory-made cookies, brownies, and cakes can last for several weeks when kept in their original packaging. Since they contain preservatives and are packed individually, they can stay fresh at room temperature or in the refrigerator for several weeks. On the other hand, when you bake homemade Cannabis edibles, they will not last compared to those factory-made. Freshly baked goodies will last up to a week only. Thus, you have to consume them right away.

Candies

Edible candies like hard candies, gummies, chews, lollipops, and mints have the longest shelf-life among Cannabis edibles. The reason for this is that they have little or no water content and are packed to keep them from oxidizing, making them last for several months under proper storage.
