Yeah, no I'll just wait the 3+ weeks from chop like everybody else lol, I water cured a gdp harvest.. Never again!! terps are good for your health right? Less flavor = less terpenes.
You obviously do not have a clue what you are talking about. You can continue to embarrass yourself if you want. Or you could actually do some research about terpenes.Smoking terps certainly not good for your health... If you value smell and taste over health, burning clean, and smoothness, then not for you for sure. If you're ingesting, also no point to it.
I don't need to research anything. You are a complete idiot running their mouth about something you have no clue about. And you are clearly such an idiot that you want to actually argue about terpenes. Way to go clownOr you could do some research about what happens to lungs when you light things on fire and inhale the smoke. Nice try, kid.
You think terpenes are only about smell and taste HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHALook who's running their mouth, you, kid. You sound dumber than a rock if you actually believe that inhaling smoke from ANYTHING is healthy for your lungs. A true moron.
Loss is almost nil. Talking about .5% at most. Against a 20-25% increase in potency by weight.Water Curing, removes the chlorophyll, the green cells , thus a smoother smoke, but loses some potency. Generally Its not worth doing, unless you want a very mild smooth smoke and you have time to waste.
no just rots breaks down. go pick a tree leaf put it in a jar of water, come back in a month the leaf will be clear, the chlorophyll has broken down.Loss is almost nil. Talking about .5% at most. Against a 20-25% increase in potency by weight.
Unfortunately doesn't take out chlorophyll, this is a myth. Chlorophyll is not water soluble.
Ok well chlorophyll is infact water soluble, but if the method works well for you that is awesome.I wouldn't leave it in water for a straight month. This is asking for trouble, not only chlorophyll will break down during that time. I do a quick cure of already dried material, so if dried properly, the chlorophyll should already be mostly broken down.
So, let me get this straight. You’re calling a guy a clown who pointed out inhaling a combustible is not healthy, terpenes or not.I don't need to research anything. You are a complete idiot running their mouth about something you have no clue about. And you are clearly such an idiot that you want to actually argue about terpenes. Way to go clown

Sweet another complete noob to ignoreSo, let me get this straight. You’re calling a guy a clown who pointed out inhaling a combustible is not healthy, terpenes or not.
Frankly, you’re the clown. Try smoking vitamin E. It’s good for you right?
Best idea I heard all day.Fuck never mind. It’s a troll.
Yep. He won’t be back anyways. He’s got nothing.Best idea I heard all day.
You also lose terpenes when you water cure. Terpenes not only add to the sensory experience of smoking in terms of taste, they also have their own medicinal effects and do "color" the high as well. If you're worried about smoke you should vaporize. You could also just make water hash instead.So, the reason I do it is to make it more potent by weight... You lose 20-25% or so weight because getting out 95% of anything water soluble... For me it's a health thing. 25% less smoke from anything seems huge if considering large amounts of time.
It also burns muuuuch cleaner, to the point of pure white ash if smoking pipe. Really love that. And, significantly smoother because now have less compounds burning.
So those are the reasons I do it. But why would someone not? Because you will lose some IMO insignificant amounts of potency. Perhaps .5%. From incidentals.
And, the biggest reasons not to do, for many, is that you lose most flavor and smell. But again, these are still compounds that you're inhaling the smoke from, so, it's a trade off...and, in some cases, like with shwag, it can be a benefit to lose some taste and smell. Then we also have the stealth aspect which you mentioned, could be big for some.
