Effect of curing on the high

Different strains can vary in this but overall curing for a good amount of time 100% increases potency there's no doubt to me, obviously enough age also will cause degradation.

Most people harvest too early and don't dry/cure long enough IMO.

to me you should hang the whole plant, maybe some light leaf removal depending on the plant/strain, then eventually put it in glass jars like most for the cure, but I definitely let it take it's time hanging and curing and notice an increase in potency/effects the longer it goes... to a point where it feels fully cured, again strains vary but I'd say anywhere between 30-60 days is a good cure.

Another thing a lot of people don't realize I've done before is you can re-add moisture to your buds and re-cure them if they are far too dry, at first they will have the "fresh" smell same as when you harvested if you do this, but after cured a bit they will be great.
