I don't think I fully understood the question.
I you were asking what difference is between fresh buds and dried and cured buds, the answer is: Uncured buds have less THC. The curing permits the cannabinoids to change and transform. This is why older weed is more potent.
If you were asking what the difference is between drying buds and curing buds, the answer is: Drying weed only makes it easier to smoke. I've noticed that fresh buds are harder to smoke because if the water content. Still, vaporizing fresh buds seems to work. Curing the buds will increase potency and will get you higher than simply dried buds.
Hope one of these answers nailed it.
