Why the long cure?

[forgetiwashere]

Bit off topic but me old boy stores his buds in glass containers but puts those bags u get in some food products like beef jerky to keep them fresh for longer, what's people's thoughts using them for your buds should be no health risks as long as you don't smoke that little satchel

i dont see a problem with it unless they dry the buds out too much. you can actually buy humidity beads that will keep your jars at optimum humidity for curing. they are for cigar humidors but work just as well for weed

....and scientists can study this and submit their peer-review papers...

heaps of proper peer reviewed studies on cannabis, and the studies are recent too.

there is also a topic here (on oz stoners) with links to proper scientific paper and PDF's ...

I'd say it's got to do with the terpenes and such more so than the thc.

But im pretty sure thc is a terpene

Doesnt chlorophyll still break down even once the buds have dried? All these biochemical changes still take place dont they

Most of the chlorophyl thats in the Buds will be gone after a good long , cold dry, then as you burp your jars in the following weeks, you release the moisture, then when they are stored they age...... the longer you age it, the better the bud..... 12 month cured Pineapple Chuck is amazing compared to 2 months cure.

Actually it is an esther.

Getting away from the point here but its actually an cyclic terpene. That can be extracted using ether's.
