thc is produced by drying, not curing. in order for thc to come to affect, and for other canibinoids to turn psychoactive, the plant has to dry COMPLETELY. (you know, like powdery dust and stuff) curing from this completely dry point both puts some moisture back in the plant, and sweats out the chlorophyll.

most important thing is to dry the plant completly before starting the curing process.
