I'd bet most of us were immature in the past and bashed/made fun of gays...then one of them asked me how old I was when I had my 1st crush on a girl, I said 5-6....he said he was real young like that but liked dudes instead...I then realized this sexual prefference shit is beyond our control and came to more understand their thing ... but admittedly I'm not clear on the nuts and bolts of it

It's not my job to try and rationalise it to people but try and look at it as just another person who is sexually attracted to something you're not. That's really the only truth all the other bullshit about limp wristed, effeminate stereotypes is just that, a stereotype.

Just like any other person, we are all very different, with our own personality, likes and interests. I've met many gay people I can't stand but I've also met many straight, white [insert any racial or social group] people I can't stand aswell. Judge people on their actions and you won't go far wrong.

A curing curiosity...

Good scotch is aged in casks, my favourite scotch is actually aged in Sherry barrels (barrels that were previously used for Sherry, and re-charred)

Great cigars -- these Cubans we used to get in the DR -- were cured in wooden "honeycombs." They were smooth, mellow, and picked up a nice mellow pepper from the wood.
ing
So, a curing box. Glass bottom, made of aged wood? A humidor, basically. If it would work, I'd even be interested in trying to find an old barrel, to age it in the whiskey wood.

Does this just make great sense because of the brain damage, or is this one of the true "hidden gems" of connoisseur growers?

(My stash box, when I was young, was an unfinished cherry wood box, and I could throw the worst of 80's shit in there, and pull out smooth smoke a week later.)

I had a bad experience in my 'early' teens with an older bloke who tried to make a move on me in inappropriate circumstances. It sort of put me off gays and I had an immature point of view towards them which I now regret. I landed a job in which my manager was a homosexual and he had hired quite a few others with the same sexual preference. I went out with my colleagues with the gays included. It was at this point I realized they are just like any other person and their sexual preference does not affect me. I actually really got along with most of them. It really put things in perspective for me.

+ rep...
not to sound like your typical kumbaya lefty but all that gay bashing was en vogue when we were sexually insecure teenies, and sorta continued until the 80's, 90's et... I admit to a new awareness, not because its popular but because of the epitheny I just laid down...
Still admittedly I'm not familiar with that culture at all

Unlike other whiskeys, thing abouit scotch is it has a higher cieling... all get better with age but rum sorta peaks at 4-5yrs , Bourbon at 8 but you can tell a 15yr old scotch from a 7yr old scotch easily

Lol. Carefull now, all this curiosity might lead to a longing for vest tops and sweaty house clubs. Best get back to manly shit like football and casual misogyny.

Makes perfect sense. ;) I was thinking of just using a cigar humidity box the other day... lol

There likely is a flavor component transfer (more aroma, but thats also flavor); however with scotch its also active solution chemistry unlike with curing weed in wood. Another problem is that THC etc degrades over time due to light, air and temp so I'd think the time needed to really flavor the buds in wood would also be in the time frame for degradation. Dunno tho

It's the ambient transfer -- the moisture release from the bud will absorb into the wood, and release the subtle hint of pine, or maple, or cherry. A well sealed, and dark box is mandatory! I'm thinking a curing box, not a little stash box; so, it'll have the solid (wood) lid. Glass on bottom simply to keep the goodies useable. (I don't think direct contact would be a great idea. Unlike curing tobacco, where you want the direct transfer of scent/flavor, sun, and air movement -- or at least those Cubans I had did.)

I may have to try it when I get my grow going again!

Its worth a shot. You'd have to have as near airtight as possible, so some kind of washer where the lid attaches, and a very tight seal(screws). And the box would have to be humidity equalized so the weed didn't just dry down too fast. I think pine and cedar would be too potent tho
