Microwaving your bud

there is no way wat so ever to increase potency after cropping

microwaving will dry the bud out yes

but

it will also heat up and evapourate the crystals

much like a vapouriser but ur not enjoying the good stuff

No, the idea behind it is to heat it under the vaporization point. That's where the decarboxylation occurs.

I wouldnt dare microwave my bud , you might aswell stick it in the bin !!!

Well... if you have some well-cured high-quality bud, then it may seem the best option for you, cause the chances of increasing the potency in this case are not great.

But, if you smoke fresh harvested bud, or mids/schwag, there is nothing to lose. Just use a small amount and see what happens... :stoned::stoned::stoned:

some people microwave there bud to sample some smoke off there plants, I believe they call it "popcorn bud" i have a friend that swears by putting some honey on a joint or blunt and microwaving it for like 30 seconds they say it tastes great... but never heard anything on it helping potency.

Also your not supposed to use high quality bud since its as potent as it can be, do it with shwagg or mids and it increases the potency through decarboxylation

I have heard this is true. I have not done it yet, but I think I will experiment with it.

when i dry my bud in the microwave (test smoke only, or if im desperate =p) i figure its vaporising some of the trichs and in the steam there is more than just water vapor so i open the mic and inhale the steam? never got high from it though... so maybe it doesnt damage the trichs...
