You say you've dried it, so mold shouldn't be your problem...it would help to know how you cured it, but it just sounds like your pot smells bad and that's all. It's been my experience to just have some pot that smells worse than others, with no real difference. If you cured it slowly, removed it from it's container daily and moved the buds around, then replaced it in a 70ish, dark environment, then all should be well. Again, only speaking from my experience, less manicured pot tends to smell worse. When I made hash oil from males and clippings, it smelled terrible.

The orange peel works well for rehydrating very dry pot. It's an amazingly little trick that brings life back to your bud. Just drop a slice of peel in your container for a few hours and your buds are moist again.

The real question, though, is how does it smoke? A good cure will make a smoother smoke. Is it a good buzz?
