Curing, a myth perpetuated by bad growers

Bing, I could be wrong but I think it might have something to do with the amount of pot we smoke. I know that's what I blame it on anyway

I will take my Double OG Chem at 2 weeks any day over a 6 Month Dispensary Cure (aging).
BTW Pot is not wine, it is more akin to Fresh produce if you ask me. They dont cure the Basil and Thyme for 6 months now do they?

I admit i think if you are vaping your Weed you can be more comfortable with a little residual Chlorophyl and green flavor?

I gotta admit....being an old school guy, I NEVER remember hearing anything about curing weed....outside of some wild stories about people who soaked their buds in wine and then let them dry! Weed growing and smoking used to be a lot more "voodoo" and folklore back then. Everyone carried their weed around in plastic sandwich bags that we licked to seal....gross, right? 
LOTS of times, shady dealers would just put freshly chopped buds into these baggies and then sell you the buds AND all the water in them (no extra charge!).
I think learning to cure buds was a good thing. It certainly helps for longer-term preservation. As far as terpene loss...yeah I suppose that's true. I never thought about it. But our good, old school weed was always tastier and smelled stronger and it was never cured. I know that. So maybe there's something to the claim that curing diminishes some the tastes and smells.
Curing actually is a moisture redistribution technique. What it does is to take unevenly, air-dried plant material and slllloooowwwwllly redistribute the remaining moisture so that it isn't crispy on the outside and wet on the inside. I think if the weed is good and the curing is done properly, then some terps will be preserved longer as a result of being "locked" into the buds.
Does anyone know when the idea of curing weed actually started?

Since i allways start smoking as soon as i harvest(2 weeks before as well) weed gets better as the time passes.easier to smoke and high kind of balances
When drying you want to keep it at a low temp 12c or less that will prevent mold and certin terps cant evaporate, that will give you the strongest smelling weed.
But the effect is the same in the end no matter you fuck the dry or not
