What Happens If I Use Wet Weed?
We have been there. Spilling liquid on our weed right as we were about to load a bowl. Your dreams are squashed. Right before a bowl that we wanted more than any other bowl. At that moment, you don’t want to wait and go through any single one of these processes, and we GET THAT! All you want to do at that moment is take your wet weed, put it in your bowl, and smoke it. What would happen if you did that? Well, you don’t have to wonder, we have already done it! So you don’t have to.

We are really sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But that is just how the cookie crumbles.
