Terpenes and marijuana flavor

Well, i just picked up 2 oz. of some really good herb for 4/20, the only problem is its not flavorful and i have heard that putting it in a jar with a piece of lettuce will rehydrate the terpenes and it will continue to build flavor. Can someone please tell me what i can do to re activate the terpenes so that my bud will continue to gain flavor.

Nothing will get back that flavor. Best thing to do is just keep it in an airtight jar (a mason jar or a nug-jar) so it doesn't lose any more flavor. And 4/20 is still a month away!
The lettuce can be used to moisten it, if it's too dry to smoke comfortably. Personally though, I think the less water the better.

Put it into a room with an ultrasonic humidifier, hold it over steam, keep it in the bathroom while you shower, etc. I always rehydrate my bud. It brings the smell out like it had the day it was harvested. It also makes the bud burn longer. Probably the best reason to do this is to preserve the resin crystals. They will no longer shatter and get blown away when you break up the buds. Dryer is better for long term storage but the buds will be fine if your gonna smoke them by 420.

Well just as the smell is reactivated, theoretically the taste should be reactivated. Our senses of smell and taste greatly influence each other.

yes thats false, and personally, i wouldn't like to smoke bone dry herbs, that would just irritate the shit outta my throat. if i were you, depending on the moisture level, i'd stick it in a mason jar and if needed rehydrate a little, as suggested leaving it when your taking a shower is a good idea.

this is a bad idea. there are cannibinoids in pot that get you high as well (not just THC) dry buds may be harsher to smoke, but i tried this the other day. bought an 1/8th of buddah kush, let it cure for only 3 days. i put 1.5-2g in a little jar, opened it once every 24hrs for 3 days, and smoked it on the 3rd. i have a pretty decent tolerance and it was like 3 hits, and i felt fine, when cured, it was 1 hit and im just as high as the 3 hits. try cured pot, its a different high for sure. if your worried about losing kief, buy a grinder or kief box. that shit works great.

1 week is too long for lettuce. Try one night. You don't want mold from the bud being too wet.
