If you dont hold it in, it might be good weed, your just not experienced enough.

I say get some glass jars, and slow cure it yourself for about a month. If its still too harsh, then make brownies or just cook with it.
putting it in glass jars now, won't really make much of a difference unless it's been harvested just recently... something that's been sitting around for a month will not suddenly become smooth after an extra 3 weeks in a jar. the cure process has to be done properly and directly after harvest...it's the conversion of photosythesis to sugars..bringing out the flavour or sweetness of the bud. If the bud is harsh.. then take it in small quantities...it still does the job. Curing, if done incorrectly...can decrease the thc content and overall .. hmm.. goodness of the bud. not to mention mold risk.

as for holding in your hits? yea... it doesn't need to be held for more than a few seconds...3-4 max. any longer is just pointless and in some ways harmful.

...But like i've said before.. smoking ANYTHING.. is going to be bad for you.. doesn't matter how natural it is.

Cheers and happy toking,
