it's okay to smoke it after 7 days ....good weed is good weed if it's good weed smoke it....a longer cure time does not increase the high, to me it just preserves it better... 53% humidity in the jar and 6 months down the road it will still be fresh and 'bud' tight (some say it taste better, to me not that much diff.) I just cure it cause I need to store it away ...
