harvested my weed about 2 months ago and its very dry. Can I soak a paper towel.. then ring it out really good and stick it in there for a few hrs? Thanks!

call me crazy but my personal favorite is to put a few nice fresh pot leaves or even a nice fresh off the plant nug in the jar with the rest of the buds
but if you have no plant, almost anything with moisture will work.. you could even put lettuce

Always my first choice of action if I have plants going.

Once all the moisture has left the flower it cant be put back in.....anything to put in the jar will just slow the rate at which is losses moisture but if the moisture is already all gone then its gone ......try to dry and cure it better next to avoid that problem

how do you figure this? paper gets moist in humid environments, same with salt (when it rains it pours :D), crackers, bread, my ski mask after breathing through it... Just about everything I can think of that isn't waterproof/resistant seems to pickup moisture from the environment if it is more dry that the ambient air...

Not saying your wrong, but could you offer some explanation why marijuana doesn't seem to behave like other organic fibers?

Fuck that, I'll say it. He's completely and absolutely wrong. Use the bread or orange peel and don't leave it in too long or you'll have mold...

the point of curing is to slowly release the moisture from the bud....once the moisture is all gone it cant be cured any more.....so yes you can add moisture back to it but it wont make the weed more potent or taste better its already been dryed out to where its not curing anymore........So go ahead and make a fruit salad out of it if you think it will help..............eather way your weed wont get better IMO .....your at the point of no return in my mind.....onces its done its done.........

I find that if I spread my bud out on a piece of cardboard or newspaper and hit it very lightly with a fine mist of water from a spray bottle, rejar it, check it in a couple of days and repeat as needed I can get my buds to that perfect moisture leval without the risk of mold that bread, orange peal, or other additives can introduce to your buds. The key is to do it very lightly and very slowly. I do not get my buds wet, or even damp. I am just introrducing a little moisture back into the plants and giving them time to let it work back into the inner part of the bud.

It works for me anyway

If you dry them properly you wont need to put moisture back into the buds........instead of trying to find ways to make your bud moist why dont you find ways to not let your bud get over dry in the first place.....stop drying them before they dry out and start curing them with some moisture left in the buds and all this bolongia will be unsessesary .......no matter how you slice it its always better to not fool with your bud while its curing period.....
 
It is possible to re-hydrate weed, but, I tend to notice a 'hay' taste and grassy smell. To try to put moisture back in, you're gonna have that "homegrown" taste. I would say to try the orange peel (it works and gives the bud a bit of a citris type of flavor.). Don't over do it! The more you try to re-hydrate it, the more "hay" taste you will have. You might still have dry buds, but they won't be as dry.
