I JUST FOUND THIS SURPRISE... what to do?

Hey all,
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum, I'm a noob here as this is my first post.
I was hoping to get some advice/opinions on what to do with this nice little surprise I found today.
A little back story, this year was my first time actually attempting to grow so I chose outdoors to limit the costs.
Fast forward to when it was time to dry and cure them. I have family members that hate the smell of flower so drying just via hanging inside wasnt an option so I read up on a popular alternative which was brown paper bags (not wax lined, and not paper thin). Everything has turned out phenomenal so far and I am anxiously waiting 5 more weeks to make up a full 10 week cycle of curing in mason jars.
Now, my question... I found 1 random bag that I had forgotten literally 1 branch in.
Should I rehydrate it and start it on it's own curing schedule? Is it useless?
I've posted a picture of the brown bag that was tape sealed shut along with a few pics of the branch that's been in there for a couple months now lol
Thanks in Advance!!!

you can smoke that well although I suspect itll turn out to be more harsh.

maybe you can make out the difference

Once it's dried out too much the cure is gone. Use that branch to experiment with some kind of extract you would like to learn how to make. Sift, qwiso, etc.

That's what I was thinking. Obviously trim any excess leaves off to help with its harshness. Tbh idk if it will end up harsh (not 100% down on the science behind it) because surprisingly it's not BONE dry. I just tried squishing one of the smaller buds to see if it was going to turn into straight powder and surprisingly its crunchy on the outside but still a BIT fluffy on the inside as the only pieces to turn to dust were the leaves on the outside

That is something that I've also been contemplating. Practice some ice water hash perhaps?

you could water cure it.. but first test some out and see how it burns. If it doesnt taste like chlorophyll too bad you could rehydrate and smoke it , or just mix it with some other herb and roll a doob or something

It's a good opportunity to learn something new for sure, give it a go.

One branch? Just smoke it.

i agree with @Tangerine_ .Youre overthinking this lol..... i would have smoked that shit almost immediately after i found it.

which one is it? throw a dice... XD

If it's overdry just seal it up airtight, don't add moisture. Curing continues on soil grown bud, regardless of moisture content. Hell I have empty vaporbongs, grinders jars vacc bags and tins that never had cured weed in them and have been empty for months, and the residue inside still cures out on the same schedule as the bud (just more hashy and less sharp/sour).

I guess if youre an Internet grower with only one jar one grinder and one vaporizer setup you might not observe these things and keep parroting the "cure is finished if humidity drops below 57" line but God damn it's never over 45rh in my house and even lame bud I've bought from dispensaries will cure out over time, if it's soil grown and not loaded with fungicides and bullshit additives that is.
