Well... the fresh cannabis has a small amount of THC (the substance that makes you high), and a large amount of THCA (which does NOT makes you high).
With the passing of the time, or by heating, the THCA is transformed in THC, thus making your weed more potent.
So, you can smoke/eat the fresh weed, but it is far weaker than if it were properly dried.
In fact, it is not the drying of it that makes it more potent. Is the amount of time between the harvest and the smoking that makes the difference.
But if you want to smoke so badly, wrap your weed in tinfoil, and put it into an oven at 325F for some 10 minutes (or more... until it dry completly). After it, the weed will be as potent as it can be.

No, not really, but it would be like trying to light a wet rag, yeah it can be done but why bother.......many growers will pinch a sample and quick dry it to try........

it sounds like you have a potted weed plant that you're eyeing with appetite. if this is the case, dont kill it and smoke it until it grows little buds at the tips of the branches. dry those out and smoke them.

One thread per topic please.
Read the link in my sig, and go look around the grow section to see when you should harvest. It takes a minimum of 7 weeks from switching to 12/12 light cycle before your harvest window, or significantly more, depending on strain.
