Hey since thc does not break down in water......
Could't you soak some leaf in lukewarm water, and then wring it out in a coffee filter and dry it out again. Wouldn't it remove some of the clorophill without hurting the potency, making the leaf more smooth and smokable?

Im gonna try it, but lemme know your thoughts guys.

With there being little or no THC within the cell structure of leaves it is beyond me why you would want to take the time to speed up the release of chloraphyll to smoke what.The only leaves with any real THC value are ones that contain triochomes which are used for food preperation in my kitchen.A complete waste of time in my opinion for what one may reap,besides what little thc that may be contained will be lost within the water or at the least damaged as heat degrades THC.Cook with leaf and smoke the buds bro.There is alot more to reap with the cooking of leaves than of smoking.

A few good reasons actually.


I been smokin mexi schwag- and the cured leaf definetly tastes better than mexi.
It actually does get me stoned, And The high from the "water cured" weed does't have that icky feeling that normally comes from leaf. That icky feeling is from the cloriphill and tars.

Im tring to leave the buds alone while they finish, The more bulk i get the better off i'll be, It will last longer as well.

But yeah the water took most of the remaining clorophill smell away, now it smells mildly sweet, and tastes much better.

Oh ,and yeah it was budleaf.
OH yeah, and i was bored to death. I needed to kill some time . L.O.L.

P.S. anxiety disorder sucks. Makes me kinda like edward sissorhand.

I stand
Guilty as accused.
The leaf tasted o.k. but didn't quite get it.
Mexi wont touch my leaf- how can it compare to my bud.

Im lovin life for awhile, these are actually just waiting for a perfect couch, but im second croping them too, with the 150 spot on the floor. It seems to be doing the trick. I'll get an ounce or two off of each o the hummers yet.
Here is one with the colas still attached, this is actually the prevalent pheno with four to five main colas.
And a christmas tree donkey dick , starting to smell skunky so now they will start getting crystally. they are a slower finish.

Sweat/sun cure it in the sun in a jar and you'll get the smooth-it-out results you want.
