I don't cure. I start smoking it when it's dry. I prefer weed that's fresh and the terpenes have degraded as little as possible. I don't like old weed. It's not like a good scotch that gets better with age. Some people say it makes it smoother and that may be so but that smoothness comes at a detriment to many of the characteristics of freshly dried weed full of terpenes. The older the weed gets the more terpene degradation occurs.
I just don't see the need to be burping jars daily and waiting weeks to smoke my harvest when I'm losing terpenes in the process.
I like it fresh.
