Thanks for your constructive (and not) replies

I only asked as I thought I had read on here that the buds could be 'fluffed' up again, but it is no big deal. The buds are more pleasing to the eye if they are not as flat as a pancake but, as you say, it makes no difference to the smoke at all.

I am just sparking up a fat one which is a cocktail of Morrocan Slate and Durban Poison, so in 15 minutes I aint going to care what the buds look like!!

Cheers again.
