So if you bud is green when you roll it up, then its ok, the green is but sugars ...I too have wanted to remove the green ish from my bud but not at the loss of quality, although I've heard that vacuum packing works, but I doubt that ...?

I don't think the OP wanted to remove the green. I may regret it, but why did you want to?

Iv'e been growing for 45 years now, in the old days of the 1970's most buds we bought then ...at least the best Acapulco Gold or any quality Mexican or Columbian were anything but green, shit brown to gold was the color back then, anything green was seen as understated or low quality ...lol
As such I would like to find a DIY method of removing the 'Green' from my bud, without any THC / CBD loss ...?

And then you're gong to want to get that shit to assisted living because they're the only ones who'll remember those days.

Haha,
No i didnt want to remove the green.. idk why youd want brown weed, but just was curious.

Singlemalt gave me the exact answer i was looking for.

That explains why when you just leave weed in a non airtight tin for a year it goes brown

Mexico and other countries dry their large harvests outside naturally so perhaps if you sun dry your buds you'll end up with brown buds, doesn't mean quality sucks just mean chloraphyls leached out, you're not going to reproduce this drying in your bathroom, but maybe under a MH light, but why the fuck would someone do that? I can't buy the compacted buds theory because I used to get some really green middle of the brick weed back 20 years ago.

It's a nostalgia thing. Like banging a girl with jungle bush and patchouli while listening to The Moody Blues.

with tobacco , most tobacco is dryed / fermented brown . The green stuff is said to taste like grass (lawn clippings) becouse of the chlorophyll
