Do Weed Gummies Expire?

Yep — like all edibles, weed gummies do have a shelf life. While THC itself is pretty stable, the other ingredients in your gummy (like fruit juice, gelatin, or oils) can degrade over time. That means flavor, texture, and even potency can change.

The good news? Properly stored THC gummies stay good for a long time. But yes — eventually, they will go bad.

How Long Do Weed Gummies Last?

In general, unopened THC gummies from a legit brand like Mood will last about 12 months from the manufacturing date — sometimes even longer if stored properly.

As is the case with any food product, once you open the bag, that timer speeds up a bit. We recommend enjoying your gummies within 3 to 6 months after opening for the best experience.

Of course, this depends on a few things:

• Ingredients: Natural ingredients may shorten shelf life slightly

• Packaging: Resealable, airtight bags = longer freshness

• Storage conditions: Cool, dark, and dry places help gummies last

Want to keep your gummies tasting great and hitting smooth? Follow the storage tips below.

How to Tell if Weed Gummies Have Gone Bad

So what does an expired gummy look like? Here are a few signs it’s time to toss them:

• Weird smell: A sour or “off” scent is a red flag

• Texture change: If your gummies are hard as rocks or way too sticky

• Discoloration: Faded, blotchy, or moldy-looking gummies are no good

• Flavor shift: If they taste off, bitter, or chemical-y

• Visible mold or moisture: Always a no-go

Trust your senses. If something feels sketchy, don’t eat it — better to play it safe rather than eating expired edibles.

Can Old Gummies Still Get You High?

Technically, yes — old cannabis-infused gummies can still get you high if the THC hasn’t degraded. But over time, cannabinoids break down when exposed to heat, light, and air, making eating expired gummies less effective. That means an old gummy might not hit the same, even if it looks okay.

If your gummy is past its prime but not spoiled, the effects may just be milder. You might not feel the same lift you’d get from a fresh one — which can be a bummer if you were counting on it.

Bottom line: don’t expect peak potency from stale edibles.

Proper Storage Tips for Weed Gummies

Want your gummies to last as long as possible? Here’s how to store edibles like a pro:

• Keep them cool: Heat is THC’s worst enemy. Store gummies in a place that stays under 75°F.

• Avoid sunlight: UV rays can break down cannabinoids fast. Use a drawer, cabinet, or stash box.

• Seal it up: Reseal the original pouch tightly, or use an airtight container to keep air and moisture out.

• Skip humid spots: Bathrooms and fridges can create moisture — not great for gummy edibles.

If you follow those simple steps, you can stretch the life of your cannabis edibles and keep them tasting fresh.

Do Weed Gummies Need to Be Refrigerated?

Short answer: nope, but it depends on the product.

All of our gummies — like the 15mg Delta-9 THC Gummies or Micro-Dose Delta-9 Gummies — don’t require refrigeration. They’re shelf-stable and made to last in a cool, dark spot.

However, if you live somewhere super hot or humid, tossing your gummies in the fridge can help prevent melting. Just be sure they’re in an airtight bag or jar to avoid moisture build-up. A little condensation can ruin texture and flavor.

Pro tip: Don’t freeze your gummies. It messes with the consistency, and no one wants a gummy that feels like a jawbreaker.
