Back when I first started smoking pot there was this legend about "wine curing".
The legend went: put the weed you just bought in a glass jar, pour enough wine into the jar to moisten the weed, then put a piece of cloth over the top and hold it in place with a rubber band.
Then bury it for at least 2 weeks.
The reason for this we were told by old beatniks was to grow a mold on the weed. They said it would "add oxygen" to the weed and make it more potent.
Luckily none of us wanted to wait that long to smoke our weed so we never tried it. But then I got a chance to smoke some that somebody else did that too and of course it tasted terrible.
Another legend was to spray your just bought weed with sugar water. It would make it taste sweet we were told.
It doesn't of course. When ignited sugar turns into carbon. It DOES NOT make the weed taste sweeter.
Legend #3 was if you grew weed was to rip up the entire plant and hang it upside down. The reason we were told was that it would make the THC "flow" from the roots and stalk into the buds, increasing potency.
Nope.
Of course this is an accepted way of slow-drying weed. It doesn't increase potency, unless you compare it with oven or sun dried buds.
This last legend lives on even to-day. I've seen people advise others to rip up the plant and plunge the roots into boiling water to "force" the THC up the roots & stalk into the buds, making them more potent; again it doesn't work that way.
Got any more "legends"?
