Everything I've read says that curing will increase potency, not decrease it. I had no idea why curing was done. The resin hardens inside the trichromes...interesting. Thanks for the info. I'm still trying to figure out what grade my Joint Dr Betty Boo is. I've read about various grades and descriptions of each. The best criteria I can submit is, my Betty Boo has no seed, no stem, smells sweet, maybe citrusy, the color is green, maybe a mix of light green and dark green with orange hairs throughout and the crystals can be seen. I haven't smoked any as I am interviewing. I haven't smoked since the 1st week of Dec. I know this stuff has to be better than anything I've ever tried before.
