curing your herb means you hang dry your buds and when the stem or branch cracks you then place your herb n a glass jar opening it" burping " every few hours. This is very important as if you forget to continually burp and open the jars it will grow mold . by curing your herb it has alot longer shelf life . if shelf life isn't important to you you can hang dry until product is ready ...:weed:

Drying is one thing, curing is another. Curing seals in resin and greatly improves taste and reduces harshness. it is similar to aging in wine and cheese and curing in tobacco. As said, it is best done in glass jars, opening them to air out every day for a good 30 days.

Curing cannabis in a air tight jar once 100% dry will improve the taste no end.I'm not convinced that it makes it any stronger but some say that curing will cause the thc levels to get a little higher but i'm not a beliver in that.I have cured a little cannabis before when i was working away i put some in a jar for 6 month and it was a realy nice smoke it seems to take any harshness of the taste.

Curing is also important to get the magnesium out of the bud. Magnesium is the reason for burning throats after you smoke. For smooth smoke cure it. Same reason to leave the branches on the bud when drying.
