Yarra,I asked this in the other thread but never got an answer,Do you smoke MJ yourself?The Reason that i ask is you always refer to your 'regulars' as not being able to tell the difference etc but you never really give your own personal opinion of smoking fast cured vs slow cured and the different nuances of the smoke.For me fast cured is not as smooth or flavorful and the high can be different,more racy and paranoia inducing vs a more euphoric buzz,great flavor and long lasting high.Many growers who dont smoke themselves are all about the science because they have no way to compare the difference in the smoke themselves,they only have empirical data to go off.You may very well be right that fast curing may give you higher thc and less chance of mold/degradation but that comes at a cost in my mind.You mentioned there are no old ladies stomping grapes to make wine anymore and you are correct but they are still aging wine for months to years to develop the right body,tannins,Alcohol content and flavor profile etc,you dont just squeeze the grape and its done,all good things take time,huge difference between boones farm strawberry hill and a nice cakebread cabernet.Its sad to see any thread locked but sometimes when its really controversial no good will come of it and id say 90% of the folks here would rather smoke a nicely cured bud than a fast cured bud,maybe more than that so your going to have massive disagreement/argument over the subject,Especially if you refuse to give an inch or even concede they might have a point or be right.If there was a way to do it faster and still get the SAME outcome you can bet people would have been doing it for a long time IMO.I do concede that most dispensaries or for that matter most consumers probably dont know the difference or care so just keep doing what works for you.
Best of luck in all your endeavors
Flaming/Trolling: Flames are posts intended to insult and provoke. Posters who speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude will be banned. Repeated posts directed with hostility at a particular person or group of people or their beliefs will be cause for banning. Any individual who chronically trolls, who regularly posts arguments, flames or personal attacks for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion will be banned. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait.
Again with your useless links ....
You have only confirmed my opinion of you. I only hope that others see you for what you are.
Seeing as I've spent the weekend digging up these articles again and now @Yarra's thread is locked I'll post what I've found here so my time hasn't gone to waste. To be honest I still dont know if I can be assed fucking around with a new drying system tho. Well whatever, anyway to make up for my initial rude comment I’m posting up some of the papers I read. A few in particular really caused me to change my mind. There are a few other good ones too but I’ll have to have another look in pubmed. Easy to access all these through a public library same as me.
