Can You Smoke Wet Weed And How to Dry It?

First and foremost, if you have wet weed, it is going to be really hard to grind up. If you have ever smoked before, you know that you have to break the weed down into fine nugs or even into powder so you can smoke it.

When your weed is wet, it becomes nearly impossible to break down into powder, as it will just keep sticking together, thus making it exceedingly difficult to roll a joint.

On a side note; if you need help finding a decent weed grinder then we have covered probably the most detailed buyers guide, you can find it here.

Almost Impossible to Burn

When you try and burn some damp, partly ground up weed, you are going to immediately realize how difficult it is to get it to burn.

Instead of instant combustion when you touch your flame to it, your marijuana will simply sputter and spit, failing to light up entirely. All the excess moisture within your bud will basically refuse to light at all. The eventual flame that will take hold after a while will be super smoky and very bitter.

How to Save Your Herb?

The first thing you need to rescue your wet marijuana is patience. There’s no way to force dry your marijuana, don’t put it in the dryer, don’t aim a hair dryer at it, and do not hold it out the window of your car while you do 50 down the road.

Getting your marijuana to dry properly without ruining it is a process that can take a few days. Though this may seem a long time to wait, it will give you plenty of time to think about how much of an idiot you are for getting your marijuana wet.

There is only one thing you need in the process of drying your wet marijuana:

Paper Method

• The first thing you can do once your weed gets wet is to put it in a brown paper bag or paper towel.
• Place the paper towel in a dry and dark place; if possible make sure that there is an air circulation in the room. You can put a dehumidifier or fan if you have one.
• In every couple of hours, make sure that you turn your wet stash and replace the paper towel.

How To Dry Cannabis Quickly?

To dry cannabis plants, most growers use the marijuana grow tent or cabinet they grew the weed in. After cutting away some big fan leaves the plants are hung in a dark, cool place, with their bottom-side up for 7-14 days. Some growers trim their weed before they hang it up to dry, speeding up the drying process. Though most home-cultivators choose to trim their weed after it has been dried. A slow drying process usually results in a better tasting end-product, they say. Whatever you do, make sure to have some airflow and -circulation such as inline duct fan where you dry the plants. The last thing you need is the plants to get moldy in these last weeks of the growing-process.

Curing preserves your cannabis

A proper cure allows you to store your cannabis for long periods without worrying about mold or the loss of cannabinoid content. Well-cured flowers can be stored in an air-tight weed container in a cool, dark place for up to two years without significant loss of potency.
