All about Wet Weed 

Wet weed is something that you don’t want with your weed. It’s not good for lighting up, doesn’t burn, and the buds have no flavor to them. it can happen when the buds are not properly cured and dried, but it also comes from it being wrong, the conditions being too humid for storing, spillage of this, and also rain and other issues. Wet and cured weed are definitely different. 

The difference 

Wet and cured weed have some obvious differences that go along with this. For example, if the buds are still holding a them near the top, you can bend it.  If it is able to crinkle and crunch, that’s a sign that it’s cured and dried.  If it’s moist, then yes, that is wet weed. Smelling it definitely is something that also will tell you. Cured weed smells like well, weed. Wet wed smells more like grass than weed, and it can also have an ammonia or generally unpleasant smell to it. 

Grinding is another one.  Dry bud breaks easily even with scissors but wet weed sticks if you do break this apart. You can also smoke it. You’ll realize that this isn’t something that’s able to be lit up, or maybe it’ll taste a lot less like weed and more like an ammonia, or a foul taste to it. 

Is it Dangerous? 

Well, if there is mold on it, yes.  It will make you feel sick, and you’ll feel nauseous, vomit, and cough a lot. In most cases, as long as you don’t have heart disease or lung disease, there isn’t any issue with smoking weed that’s moldy. 

There are those that also may have allergic reaction from bad spores, and it can make their lungs feel inflamed. If your immune system isn’t very strong, inhaling this can cause issues with the nervous system, respiratory system, and the lungs as well, and it can definitely be caused by mold. If you do smoke cannabis that may be moldy, be mindful of it, and contact the doctor right away if you’re worried about the health concerns associated with it. 

How to avoid this 

Well, the first thing that you should make sure is that you dry and cure the buds that are there, and make sure that you also do dry and cure the buds correctly. Drying them and curing them is fine, but if you do it wrong, it will compromise the quality. It’s best that once you harvest the bud, you let it sit or hang in a place that’s cool, dark, and dry, before you cure this. You should not take any shortcuts with this, but instead, take time, and follow these conditions. 

Exposing them to air, heat, or light does offer a speedier drying process, but it impacts the cannabinoids and terpenes, which will make this all sub-par in most cases you want to bake the buds if you’re going to release the THC, but don’t put them in there when trying to dry them, because it can definitely impact this. 

You should only dry them like that if they accidentally spilled on the ground or in some water and need to be cleaned off fast. If you’re going to dry this, you should try to do it in safe ways. Make sure that when you’re done, you cure them correctly by storing them in containers that are dark, won’t allow air or water in, and also are easy to store them. If you notice that the weed is wetter than usual, stop smoking it and fix the problem fast!
