I dont think people would br drying weed if it took away from the THC count. If u dont dry ur weed AND cure it, then it will taste like shit, and i heard that curing helps to make the THC even better, dont smoke ur freshly picked nugzz
:stoned:let's say some things are better with age!peace and puff,farmgirl
Actually the THC is present at harvest but will not get you as high as if it were dried and cured. You can do an experiment by sticking some fresh budz in a microwave at 50% power for 30 second bursts until it dry enough to smoke, it will get you high but not as much. The trichromes must dry out for the THC to be potent.
dont nuke em.:microwave:
thats the worst fast dry method
on a lamp, or ur monitor, somewhere with low heat output
even in a toaster oven thats barely on is a better choice.
curing will allow all the residual nutes and chloraphyl (sp?) to evaporate out and the inner moisture content to equalize out properly.
Fresh picked buds has less THC than cured buds... when they are fresh, they have a larger amount of THCA (THC-acid), which is not psychoactive (dont make you high). Through the process of curing, this THCA is transformed in THC. So, after the curing the bud has more THC than when it was fresh.

LOL! Fresh picked buds are shit compared to properly dried and cured buds. Not only does curing activate more THC etcetc, it also improves flavour - and dry weed ACTUALLY burns.
Why would anyone in their right mind buy fresh wet weed - you'd just be getting ripped off.
no...there are chemicals that become activated during the curing process, therefore making it more potent at that point..Quote:
