Who stores their stash in the freezer?

About 25 years ago, I learned some of the ropes from an old toker that grew up in the ’60’s. He always stored his stash in the freezer. I thought it was odd, but at the time I figured he put it there because no one would think to check the freezer if he got robbed or raided. I never got the chance to ask him about it (or a ton of other things) as he sadly passed away a few years after that.

Then I was reading in Cannabis Pharmacy about how storage at room temperatures can maintain potency for ~90 days, while storage at low temperatures (they mentioned -4 degrees F) keeps cannabinoid and terpene levels almost unchanged virtually forever (I’m sure that’s not true, but I’m sure it extends the shelf life considerably).

I now wonder if the old toker knew that or not . . . I like to think he did . . . .

anyway, who stores their stash frozen?

Most people do it if they need to store it for any longer periods of time. I keep all my concentrates and flowers in the freezer after drying and curing. It doesn't degrade nearly as fast in the freezing cold.
