I think they’re ready to go into the cure. I’ll dry them out and get them resealed. I’m testing a 0.5 gram piece, chewed for 15 minutes and then made into tea. Haven’t had the tea yet, but I’ll be drinking it and ingesting the dregs.
I realize it won’t be as potent as after the cure, but I had to try. I’ll stop later and share my thoughts in effect.
