My wife found some 6 month old buds in her purse (ones I grew) this morning, and gave them to me. They were in a plastic bag, but the bag was open. The buds were still green but they didn't smell at all like weed anymore. They were almost absent of odor. It was strange. I came on the forum, you guys convinced me to smoke them... and DAMN, I'm having trouble typing. They definitely didnt go bad at all. They didnt taste harsh, but I smoked from a bong. They actually didnt taste much at all. Strange but awesome.
