We also never really know how wet the bud is when weighed. Your "dry and cured" is different from mine. I'm not talking about wet weight. I'm sayin there's a lot of weight difference between 5 days dry to dry plus 1 week, to dry plus a month etc.
I recently made retail use of my med card for the first time believe it or not. I have been a total of 3 times now. I was talking to the "bud tender" (i hate that term for some reason) about drying and curing and he told me the product in front of me is at 35%
I was internally shocked. I have read the thread about drying and curing that TBM started (and was recovered...thx) and I followed that thread all last year... to sum it up, the last line in the tutorial was basically that if you got below 50%, you either hit it direct with a fan or somehow dried it too fast and you are fucked.
So anyway, the stuff I get from him is so light and fluffy, if it was at my usual 60-65% it would weight a lot more. I've been meaning to ask around ...any thoughts on the dispensary weed being 35%?
