the moister, generally, the fresher the bud iz. if it wuz moist an dint smoke rlly well then it prolly wuznt cured properly az eryone else already said. sum weed iz juss harsh no matter wut, so it wuznt neccessarily cured improperly. an that burnin feelin u were talkin bout, well u r smokin weed so there iz alot ov heat involved an yer inhalin the smoke so it iz gunna b a lil hot an rlly dry feelin in yer mouth. pipez r especially harsh compared 2 a joint er a bong in my oppinion.
