How to get black bud

This is a trick that I learned from old Ed Rosenthal back in the day and recreated today with poppy pods and leaf.

Basically, what you need to do is submerge your plant matter into a pot of boiling water - and simmer for 10 minutes. Then take that stuff out and dry naturally.

Now, it will still be bright green when taken out of the boiling water - but as the stuff dries slowly it WILL turn black.

This is also known as the 'water cure'.

Thanks for reading.

Why would you want black bud? Whats wrong with bright green, orange, purple, blue?

water cure also takes out a lot of the impurities that an ordinary cure leaves behind.

someone recently had a thread posted about it, he said it was banging but took away all the taste and smell. I wouldnt like that imo as i enjoy the aroma and taste of my buds

Hey, if it gets you high and doesn't smell like weed, that sounds like a great product

This doesn't sound like a really good idea...

All depends on what you're after.

Want the novelty of black bud? Cool. Go for it.

But yeah, I'm sub'd to the other water cure thread and he does say it lost all flavor. That's a big part for me too, so maybe I'll try this with one of my buds, but def not all of them.

Lol the taste is almost everything i love the smell as well. not for me to try i guess ^^

Fuck no it doesnt! the fuck???

if you don't enjoy the smell of marijuana.. the very thing you grow?!?! Then you shouldn't be growing/smoking it IMO.

Next you ppl will be wanting to try and take the taste away from it...

Makes me wonder.. if ignorance is really bliss..

Hey, even Ed Rosenthal said this is a last resort to a cure.

You do it when you get some rank cough bud that has not been cured and prolly microwaved!

Then, you water cure it just to get a smoother smoke.

It's def. not for primo buds.

lol i agree duckfoot def not for primo

Didn't mean to offend I was just inferring that if it didn't smell like weed, it wouldn't smell suspicious. Hash doesn't have the same flavor of weed, but people still enjoy it. Same thing goes for when you use a vaporizer. The taste is different.

As for marijuana, people don't like it strictly for the smell or the taste. It's often an acquired taste, (for most people) just like alcohol, that is the result of positive reinforcement. Most people (not everyone, but most) don't like the taste of their first drink, and most find their first toke pretty harsh, however because of the positive reinforcement of the pleasurable effects of MJ and alcohol, we end up enjoying that flavor.

Also some people just grow the shit to sell it, and honestly people should be glad there are non-smokers who grow because it only increases the supply for everyone and drives down the price

Either way, marijuana isn't a sacred substance to live one's life around, it's just a spice of life that can enhance certain aspects of it. Some people like the taste, some people like the high, some people like both. Everyone should have the right to grow it

I love the smell and taste, but it be fun to try something different. Might be pretty useful in a more public environment. To each his own though. Cheers.

LoL..this seems like such a dumb idea to me. I realize thc is not h2o soluble, but I've got to believe a significant amount of trichs would get knocked off.

You wanna know the best way to get black buds?

Put it in your bong and smoke it!!! Black buds every time baby!!!!

Oh, I cannot believe this community still thinks trichomes are where the THC is at!!!

That is sooo 90's talk.

Remember, most the bud is green plant matter - and you can skuff bud all you like you'll still get hella high from it because most all the THC is in the green!

Please do some research on that claim.

Please read the first sentence of the section titled "Inside the Trichome" about 1/2 way down the page.

90's really? This was authored barely over 1 year ago and is the most scientific explanation i've read thus far. If you have studies that state otherwise I would genuinely be interested in reasing them.

Your high !!! Hahahah

The cannabinoids are in the trichomes.

O.K. - my last post on the topic of THC...

1) If the THC was ONLY in the trichomes, why arn't ppls smoking HASH and still bothering with BUD after all these years?
2) Why does Cannabis OIL get you the highest high of all?

Answer these common sense questions - and you've got your answer to why those tiny dots mean shit to a good high. Irie?
