Why do you need to dry your weed? Or do you actually need to? Which bud is better? Any help would be nice.

If you don't dry it, you can't smoke it

Nice find... But still no one has answered the ?. You can smoke wet weed with a pencil torch. the answer is... Drying and Curing weed enhances Smell, Flavor and Potency.

Curing does really make the bud that much more potent than when wet. In reducing the amount of water weight, the same nugget is technically more potent than before because there is less mass with the same amount of cannabinoids. In addition, drying bud "converts crude acidic THC from its nonactive form into a neutral pH psychoactive substance. Each THC molecule has to lose it's moisture content in order to become fully psychoactive (Premier, GrowFAQ)."

Does Curing Affect Potency?

Yes I have. Its not that great surprisngly.

I have a digital volcano vaporizor and I'll tell you that wet bud does not vaporize good! I usually vap at 362*F but had to increase it up to like 450 and still was not getting much vapor flow.

To add to that, vaporizing straight up kiff does not work well either...

Hash does tho, with a special screen, hmm..
