I wash my buds!
First in air. I believe dryer air pulls some of the moisture out and enhances the flavor. It seems to almost "cure" the buds kind of like......say ....... Tobacco.
As i bathe them in air i also like to bathe them in darkness. I believe the darkness gives my buds a better chance to retain the potency and darker flavor especially because i heard it on the internet.
Then i like to bathe them in love by buying special scissors and solvents and wipes because it takes soo long to grow my precious crop and i do not want to use anything but the best. I know I can taste and smell the difference for sure. I know ya'll can too!
I always bathe my buds with attention as i sneak photos of them in my buddies threads and different forums throughout the internet. I find as it makes the smoke even smoother and the high even better.
Lastly i bathe my buds in butane flame. I find butane flame sets off the flavor like nothing else can. Occasionally i will use wood sticks dipped in a red sulphur based material.
All that bathing makes my weed the best for sure!

Putting my buds in water? in my years on this planet i have come to a point where i weigh costs and benefits. What benefit could i possibly get by washing my bud then drying it vs leaving it alone and drying it? Say bathing gets rid of 50% of whatever may be on it. Say it doesn't work and it all molds. ? The cost benefit just isn't there. If what is on it is so bad you wont smoke it, start a bonfire call some friends over and toss back a few cold ones and make the biggest Volcano you can.
