Wet Weed

[papaw]

Just got some grass and it is still a little wet. I've heard that you can microwave it if it's too moist to smoke. I know it will probably affect the taste, but I just want to make sure I don't burn it up. What setting and for how long should I bake it so I can get baked?

i wouldnt microwave it if i were you....dont they cook from the inside out....so you will still think its moist and all the thc will be going in the center....there are better ways to dry it....i dont know any personally but im sure someone will....

[papaw]

Thanks for the post, man. I was hoping to dry it immediately because I want to get stoned immediately. Guess I'll just smoke it wet and hope my head doesn't hurt too bad. Later, dude.

Try 10 seconds on full power. I had to do it before, but I'm not clear on the variables.

[mellow mood]

I'm not a scientist so I don't know why wet weed makes my head hurt. It just does. Maybe I'm allergic to water particles.

[skunk456]

hey man just let it air dry for a while dont burn that weed up man let it air dry of course if u microwave it u might get high but not the full potency

[papaw]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just said fuck it and smoked it anyway. Hurt my throat but now I'm stoned. No pain no gain I guess.

[Funkamander]

Yeah, I had wet weed once. I just waited for it to dry... in my pipe... with a flame up to it.

I got some fresh wet stuff one time and I put it in my computer case for a few hours and it dryed it nicely. And had my room smelling nice.

Best thing to do is let it dry completly then store it in an airtight container in the dark for 2 weeks. Good bud is always well cured :D :) :D

yeah microwaves get way to hot to quick you might as well be smoking shake if you dry it that way, in my experience putting it in the sunroof of a car for like 15 minutes on a hot day worked pretty good

[Warlock]

Apparently some of the potency only works if it's dry (Not THC, another chemical). It wil ldry in 2hrs if left on top of a TV or computer hard drive. Open up your comp & stick it on the motherboard lol.

I dunno exactly how wet the weed is but personally I like hydrated buds, not soaking wet just somewhere between damp and desert dry. If its just a little hydrated it burns slower and the smoke is not as harsh. I would think nuking it would fuck it off, wont the THC just vap?! If I was you I would just put it on a counter somewhere that is well ventilated. I use my bathroom to dry cuz I can close the door and leave the fan on.

[robert42]

wrap it in newspaper microwave kills the THC, use common sense

wrap it in newspaper over night.

Wet weed wont get u as high

[oncea420alwaysa420]

Weed takes 45 days or so after being picked for the THC to reach its full potential. Some growers like to take advantage of selling it still moist because its more weight.
When I get some that is not ready, I Let it air dry ( in a cupboard ) for around 1 hour, then i put it in a jar. once the bud is moist again i take the lid off and let it dry for a half hour more. then back to the sealed up jar. Then i only take out what i am going to smoke. Remember to vent the jar at least once a day as to prevent mold if it is too wet. this procedure is called sweating your bud. It also helps to bring out the fruityness of your smoke.

DO NOT MICROWAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! :cool:

[s8nlilhlpr]

I would not recommend microwaving it, they work by exciting the water molecules into rubbing against each other producing friction/heat. Also, they work from the outside/in not the other way around. I would take a nug out and let it air-dry for a few hours, and cure the rest as once420 recommends. I despise dealers who don't cure properly and sell wet weed for water weight....

[oncea420alwaysa420]

Well said s8nlilhlpr

[xNoa]

that process is normally called curing, and is what should of happened BEFORE you bought the bud (unless you grew it of course)
anyway dont buy this wet weed again.. tell the dealer to dry it at least..

[oncea420alwaysa420]

Typically curing is a very long process. Sweating is a short term process. Curing is done for flavor and potency. sweating is done so you can smoke next day. Everytime i get some it is moist to the point that it will not burn in a joint, however it burns fine in a vape or bowl. It usually is not the dealers fault and they will not want to take a loss for one extra pickey person. The problem comes from stateside growers ( in minnesota we have a few) when we get the import from canada they are usually very well cured. The way i figure is that for every 11 pounds sold, one pound is almost all water weight. So you can see why they do it. sorry i am rambleing on, My main point is that curing and sweating is similar but not the same thing.

there is lots ways you can dry herb fast,i been doing it for years.
1.DONT USE MICRO
2.THC starts to degrade,vaporize,whatever it starts to go away at about 200 F
so Think low dry heat.(slow cure is allways better)
3.Probaly the chlorophyll given ya the headache,happens when i smoke leaf.

Now the soulution,if you have a regular moinitor for computer,you can set a bud on the back of it on grates for few hours works great.
I have a little oven that has a keep warm setting thats stay at 140 F.Works great

[oncea420alwaysa420]

Yep . the chlorophyll takes time to degrade. another possible cause is that it was never flushed before it was picked. It may have a build up of fertilizer. If you get little cracks and pops ( obviously not from beans and sticks ) it is possible that is what is giving you the headaches. I have found that the only way to get it somewhat out of already picked (and somewhat dried ) bud. Put the buds on a block of dry ice for about 45 seconds. This will also help to dry it some being that it cools the moisture in the bud and evaps it at a high rate. Kind of a weird thing i tried a couple times with some left over dry ice. (gas stations sell it for around 1$ a LB )
