I’m out of edibles.

Is it critical to “cure” before making edibles?

Or can i go straight to making them if the weed is dry?

I have read it works no matter when you use it for edibles.  
My wife says she notices a difference if not cured. She prefers cured.  
That is just possibly a placebo effect from knowing it was not cured.  
I know…This was no help at all **🤪**

You can decarb weed fresh off the plant and use it in eatables 👍  
The thc and other cannabinoids are present no matter the cure, your oil or butter may be more green and taste different then you’re use to but the buzz will be all the same so go for it 😉

I smoke little finger hash balls all the time from when I defoliate, my hands will be so sticky i roll it into a ball fresh off the plant and get stoned every time.  
The only reason we have to cure it is so we can burn the plant matter to consume the thc

When decarbing wet, you’ll need to extend the bake time to offset excessive moisture. But it does work just the same.

Thanks for the input. For the record, my weed is dry, just haven’t been curing for a few days. But I’ll take note of your suggestions below.

I only wanna pull out enough for a small batch of edibles and leave the rest to cure normally.

Thanks bros!
