The point of curing is not to preserve terpenes. The point of curing is ripening of carboxylic acid pathways via climacteric respiration.
Do any of you even grow? ^ Same people who ^ say this dumb shit ^ about terpenes also claim the "chlorophyll smell" overpowers the "terps" for a few days. Really guys? I don't know any small children who believe that, let alone adults. Yet it gets repeated online, perpetually, for a decade straight leading up to federal legalization, for some reason? A hay smell masks a weed smell? And that's chlorophyll vs terpene? Who comes up with this shit?
These same nutty bullshit regurgitator people will also typically claim calnit weed is equal to organic weed, and that plants require pesticides to grow. So us humans know to completely ignore these "terpene" characters and all their lies.
Authentic, fully evolved humans, with zero % NPC DNA absolutely HATE botanical terps. They LOVE weed flavors. I've never met a real human who wanted to drink perfume or aid freshener.
Wannabe Grower with Big Time Regurgitation Mouth Challenge:
Survey 12 authentic humans. (Not dispensary-shopping NPCs.) Ask them whether they like weed flavor, or botanical terpenes. Then stop being a dickhead, and acknowledge the blatant difference:

Wannabe growers will talk about myrcene, terpinolene, pinene etc all day. Because they were told to, by disinformation campaigns..
..Until they find out those are botanical terps, not relevant to weed at all. Everyone knows they are supposed to hate botanical terps lol. What's stopping them from making the connection between reality and reality? Terpenes suck. They fucking suck.
Stop being wannabe growers. Botanical terps are a detriment to cannabis. Bad breeding, bad growing. No one wants to preserve that shit.
"Preserving terpenes" is literally the dumbest shit ever said about weed. Right up there with "more thc gets you higher". And there's an agenda behind people repeating this "limonene +thc = mmj" shit. Because big pharma is breeding for eicosanoids, fatty acids, carboxylic esters, shit that's actually valuable, to make sure it's all taken off the market and replaced with the useless western version of weed.
Fuck the pharma spooks who flooded these forums claiming terpenes are what's important in Cannabis. They are contractually obligated to lie, and forbidden by contract to even use the words fatty acid, eicosanoid, etc.
