I followed the advice in that thread, but I used the cooking method, cooked a bud or two for 5 mins at 325 degrees F. And I gotta say, it may have been better. That thread says it doesn't increase the potency of high-end well-cured buds as well as it affects schwag, and all I have are high-end well-cured buds, but even so, I think it was better, at least in terms of effects and the high. It didn't look as good or taste as good, however. Still, I will do it again I'm sure.
