I leave my bud in a plastic container and put letuce leaves in the container... About 1 gram of lettuce to 10 of bud... the bud expands and grinds nicer in a elec coffee grinder... anyway I like rolling in that state and then pop it in the Microwave on auto defrost fur a couple minutes or in my pc... They always smoke nice with this method for me...
Whats your procedure???
Never heard of this at all, does the lettuce get moldy over time? I would be afraid of that happening to my bud.

if you use to much yes... it only takes a little piece to revitalize dry bud... don't replace the lettuce until it is dry and shriveled up...
does it cause already dry bud to become more moist at all? or help u to break up the buds with your fingers say if u get some dry middy.

it does moisten the bud,but it is harder to break up with your fingers... pot is cured to smoke right... by the time it gets from the grower to you it gets dry... Just try it... put a bud in a container with a peice of lettuce no bigger than a dime... check it in 2 or so hours...
awesome sweet tip next sack I get I'm picking up some lettuce

I heard dropping a slice of carrot with dry bud will freshen in right up. Never tried it.
carrot should be good... I use lettuce because I don't want the flavor to change,I like my stinky ganja...

yeah orange peel is probably the best because it gives your weed a tropical flavor (dece) too, but you have to open up the bag everyday to make sure your bud doesn't become moldy

i say apples work best, but if you're really desperate you can even take a peice of toilet paper soak it in water and wring it out mostly (til it's only moist) then throw it in with the bud, it'll do the same thing..

i've never heard of curing joints. i did find a year old doobie in my couch once, and of course i lit up. only took about 30 seconds to smoke, it was that dry. got me completely fucked up though
but that is not "curring". what you are doing is remoisturizing. curring is a slow dry process and is done after immediately after harvest.
and never leave your fruit or vegetables in the bag longer than a day or two. one, that is plenty of time to remoisturize and two, leaving longer is a good way to get mold, especially if using fruit (the sugars in fruit allows mold to grow easier). three, if you store in mason/fruit jars there won't be a need for remoisturizing...leaving your bud stored in baggies is why it dries out so fast and carrying it around in your pockets is why you end up with shake instead of buds.

Its better to buy dry weed ... it means your getting more for your money. I buy super dry ounces and then divide it up into grams and stick a baby carrot in each bag and let it sit for 2 days. It adds between .1-.2 to each gram wich adds up to about an extra 3 grams or 30.00. Then to keep it from drying up agian I store the whole ounce with orange peels wich gives it a nice smell/flavor too.

Yeah, like someone said, you're not really curing anything. You're just putting moisture back into the buds.
Curing takes places right after a harvest dries, to improve flavour, and potency, just an overall better smoke and appearance. To cure buds, they must be at least 90% dry, then you place in an airtight container, where it releases the last of its mositure stored in the middle of the bud. That's why after slight curing, the buds seem moist again.
Curing, is kind of like, "sweating" the last of the mositure out of the buds, pushing the THC to its peak.
But anyways, I used to remoisten my herb, but not anymore. It's just not that big of deal to me to have dry of moist herb. I never cure bought weed from a source. I only cure my own homegrown as you want to make the best of all your hard work.
Peace.

Mould can give you a lung infection (usually Aspergillus) so please don't listen to this. THCA and THC are in no way positively enhanced by any mould I know of. Mould would most likely degrade plant material and the THC would be broen down into something else.
Smoking mouldy weed is dumb and downright fucking seriously bad for you. It won't give you an increased high but it might just get you pneumonia or a severe case of Death.
I have a degree in medical microbiology - I can be your new 'very good source' :thumbsup:
