Does curring actually increase pot's ability to get you fucked up or is it just for "taste"?

Then it doesn't get any stronger than the day it's cut? Seems like it gets better but maybe it's just wishful thinking.

I read recently that pot does get stronger when it cures. I believe it has to do with chemistry and the conversion of CBD's to THC.

CBD's and other starches and sugars in the plant.

Then I'm not emagining it. I was sure it was getting a "higher" strength as time rolled on.

Click to expand...

what curing does is it converts the marginally thca which is a acid I believe into thc this can be done through slow drying (curing) or your can simply put it in the oven at like 180 to speed up the molecules to help it drop the a to active it into thc...This is why when making tincture you want to heat your bombies before your add it to the solvent mix to maximize potency.

The first day you harvest your bombies the high will not be very strong it will be a very clear head high that is short lived corrrect???? Above is why.

Let it cure for at least a month man trust me it will be WAYYYYYY WAAYYYYY WAYYYYYY worth it.

Ok,..you've convinced me with the scientific "dropping the A" talk. I've just dabbled in the supply so far but the majority is still curring in jars. It's been just about 4 weeks now. And you're correct about the high I got from the fresh cut. Hope you're right about the rest.

Curing is the final and most important step in our growing process. It not only properly distributes the moisture but also gets rid of the grassy smell and taste and gives the bag appeal that we look for. Think of it like a green tomato....not yet done but once you cure it, it's red and juicy and tasty. sorry I am totally stoned on some dank ass, properly cured AK-47

Ok Boneman. If you check back to this string can you tell me how long your "properly curred" AK curred? I've got about 5 weeks now on some REALLY GREAT LOOKING White Widow. As good as this looks, it should be putting me to bed. I'd describe it as how the other guy in this sting described "fresh cut". Kind of a nice quick clean high but no drool-maker-stoned-all-to-hell type of high it should be. Maybe my resistance is too high.
