How To: Curing Marijuana Buds
by All Greens Dispensary | June 8, 2025
Curing is about more than just drying out the fresh marijuana buds. It also stabilizes the terpenes, reduces the chlorophyll levels that can make marijuana harsh to smoke, and ensures bacteria don’t grow in the plant material. Uncured weed can have low THC levels as it dries unevenly or grow mold. The traditional method for curing was once to hang the fresh buds in a dark room, but this method can lead to mold. Today most people use air-tight mason jars to cure their weed after drying it. Drying marijuana usually takes only three days to one week, depending on the temperature and humidity levels of the room. Curing begins after that and aims to keep the marijuana from completely drying out. It can last up to 16 weeks, depending on the desired finished product. Trim the buds of all leaves and cut them down to a single strong stem connecting each cluster. Complete the drying stage in a room or container that is kept around 70 degrees F and 45% to 50% humidity. This will keep the drying from going too quickly and damaging terpenes, yet prevent mold growth. For the long-term 2-16 week curing stage, you want to keep the buds at around 70 degrees F still. However, you want to raise the humidity a little to 55% to 65%. Instead of trying to maintain that in an open room, pack your buds in air-tight containers like mason jars. Use digital thermometers with humidity sensors in each container to ensure you’re staying in the right range. Humidity packs are available to help gently raise moisture levels without risking mold growth, while silica gel packs drop the moisture levels when they’re too high. Keeping an eye on the readings inside the jars and changing out the packs if needed is all you mainly need to do to cure weed for a smoother smoke and better high. While marijuana needs warmth during both the drying and curing stages, temperatures shouldn’t rise about 75 degrees F if possible. Terpenes in particular are sensitive to heat degradation, but even THC can be lost from high-temperature drying. That’s why it’s not recommended you use any kind of direct heater or dehydrator to speed up the drying process. A space heater can be used to keep the room warm and air circulating if it can be set low enough to not overheat the room and it doesn’t point directly at the buds. Minimize light exposure, even artificial lighting, or use mason jars made from brown glass to protect what’s stored inside them. Check the buds once a week to see how the texture and scent are changing as they cure. Once anywhere from 2 to 16 weeks has passed, give it a try. You’ll notice that the aromas become more pronounced and the smoke becomes smoother to inhale as the buds cure.Preparing Buds for Curing

Your Guide to Delta 10
Cannabis has many, many chemicals in it, and one of those is the cannabinoid responsible for the high feeling. THC is that chemical, and it comes in different varieties. The cannabis that we all know uses Delta 9 THC to get the user high. However, this isn’t the only type of THC found in the plant. There are some that are much less potent than Delta 9, and those can also be extracted from the plant and used in consumer products. Both Delta 8 and Delta 10 are other cannabinoids that have less potency and are increasingly popular in various cannabis products. CBD is another important chemical in the cannabis plant, and many people choose CBD products that include this chemical. CBD from hemp has a number of types of THC, but in low amounts. However, Delta 8 and Delta 10 can be derived from hemp. Hemp is an important plant that has been legal in the US since 2018. Cannabis is legal in many states, but in others, it remains illegal. However, federal law has made hemp legal nationwide, so the derivatives taken from hemp, as long as they aren’t Delta 9, are legal as well. That has gotten many people to try Delta 10, as it is federally legal. Of course, some states have recently made Delta 8 illegal, and they have followed suit with Delta 10 in a few states. Creating Delta 10 requires taking a hemp plant and extracting the oil from it. Then, that oil is processed into Delta 10. It must be extensively refined to be left with Delta 10 THC. Because it’s tough to manufacture Delta 10’s THC, so it is often found in small quantities. It can be found in gummies, vape cartridges and in various other edibles. Because of the difficulty in producing it, it is sometimes mixed with Delta 8 to change up the effects of Delta 8 with the scarce compound. Delta 10 does not have extensive testing done on its effects, and much of the feedback it has received is from individual users who report the effects of it. According to the anecdotes, Delta 10 is often said to have an energetic effect on the user rather than the sedating effect of Delta 8. Delta 10 is said to work on the user much like a sativa rather than an indica. Many people report feeling more creative when using this cannabinoid. Many people wonder how safe it is to consume Delta 10. It is a safe product to consume, but there are a lot of chemicals that are used to extract it from help. All of those chemicals need to be refined out of it so that they are safe. Accredited labs test Delta 10 to make sure that has been done. That’s why there is a QR code on the packaging. It shows that the testing happened and the product was certified. All Greens Dispensary is the perfect place to find your cannabis products.

What Cannabis Gear Do I Need?
If you’re living somewhere in the country where cannabis is legal, then you’re living through a cannabis sales boom. There’s been an uptick of adults getting into cannabis and that leaves us with one big question. What kinds of gear do you need to enjoy recreational cannabis? Let’s start with different types of cannabis products. Cannabis is more available than ever thanks to legalization and decriminalization. There are even companies offering cannabis delivery in some cities. Here’s the most common types of cannabis products. Edibles are snacks and other food products that have been infused with THC. The effects of cannabis take longer to manifest with edibles than they do with smokable cannabis. However, edibles represent a healthier alternative to smoking and an easier way to control your dosage. You can buy pre-rolled joints from your local cannabis shop. These save you the hassle of having to roll-your-own and can be a great choice for beginners. Topical cannabis products include balms and lotions. These are applied to areas of the body for various therapeutic effects. There is research that shows topicals can help with certain skin conditions as well as joint and muscle pain. Cannabis oil, or tinctures, is an oil that has been infused with THC, CBD, and terpenes. Terpenes are the flavoring compounds that give cannabis its distinct taste and smell. Cannabis oil is typically applied beneath the tongue. Cannabis oil can also be incorporated into food products to make your own edibles. There are a lot of different concentrates out there. They’re all commonly referred to as dab. Each of these concentrates has different qualities. Here’s a list of a few of the most common. Shatter Live Resin Rosin Crumble Sauce Budder Distillate Hash And more You’ll need a smoking device known as a dab rig to consume smokable concentrates. This is a glass pipe that is very similar to a water bong and its construction. The main difference is that instead of adding your cannabis flower to the Bowl, you add the Cannabis concentrates to an area on the dab rig known as the nail. Concentrates offer a stronger flavor as well as a harder hitting high. They can be a little bit more challenging to smoke for the beginner cannabis enthusiast. Vaping has become one of the most popular alternatives for smoking tobacco and one of the most popular choices for cannabis. Vaping is more discreet than smoking cannabis flower. This can be an excellent choice for people who want to minimize that very noticeable weed smell. You should consider your budget, local rules and regulations for consuming cannabis, and the types of experiences you’re looking to enjoy when you go to buy your cannabis gear. Any questions?

Exploring the Relationship Between Marijuana and Appetite Regulation
The therapeutic potential of marijuana has been increasingly recognized in the field of medical science. One area that has captured significant attention is the relationship between marijuana and appetite regulation. Whether it’s used as a natural solution to stimulate appetite or for weight management, understanding how marijuana affects appetite is essential for medical cannabis users. At All Greens Dispensary, with locations in Sun City and Quartzsite, AZ, we’re dedicated to providing accurate information about how marijuana can be used effectively for this purpose. The primary compounds in marijuana responsible for its appetite-stimulating effects are cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most well-known cannabinoid, interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS plays a vital role in regulating various physiological functions, including appetite, mood, and sleep. THC activates the CB1 receptors in the brain, which are directly linked to appetite regulation. Research has shown that when THC binds to these receptors, it stimulates the release of hunger-related hormones like ghrelin, leading to the familiar “munchies” effect. This mechanism is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with loss of appetite due to medical conditions like cancer or HIV/AIDS, as well as those undergoing chemotherapy. Not all marijuana strains have the same effect on appetite. Here’s a brief overview of how different strains can impact hunger: High-THC Strains: Strains with higher THC levels, such as Girl Scout Cookies or OG Kush, are known to be effective for appetite stimulation due to the strong interaction with CB1 receptors. High-CBD Strains: While cannabidiol (CBD) is not known for inducing strong hunger pangs, strains like Harlequin or ACDC can provide balanced effects that may aid in weight management by reducing anxiety and stress, which often contribute to unhealthy eating habits. Balanced THC-CBD Strains: Strains that balance THC and CBD, such as Cannatonic, offer moderate appetite stimulation while also potentially providing relief from pain and nausea. Contrary to the belief that marijuana always stimulates appetite, emerging research suggests that cannabis can also support weight management. CBD, for instance, has shown promise in reducing appetite by blocking the same CB1 receptors that THC activates. For individuals looking to control their appetite, high-CBD strains or products may be worth exploring. Additionally, regular cannabis users often have a lower body mass index (BMI) than non-users, which may be due to the role of marijuana in improving insulin sensitivity and metabolism. At All Greens Dispensary, we understand that each patient has unique needs when it comes to appetite regulation. Our knowledgeable staff can help you navigate our wide selection of cannabis products to find the right solution. Whether you’re seeking edibles, oils, or flower strains, we’ll provide tailored recommendations based on your health goals.
