Decomp occurs when oxygen is present......@bruce: once you pick the buds cannabinoid content cannot change....also exposure to the sun causes THC degradation into other less desirable cannabinoids Marijuana does age like wine, and like wine it must be sealed.

Interesting enough the THC factor was less when it went into the grave and higher when it came out of the grave. Although it was mentioned that someone had picked out the flowers of the plant before placing it in the grave, I don't see what that had to do with making hemp or the natives' clothes. Of course, if I had picked the flowers from the plant and dried them out in the hot Gobi Sun, I would continue to bring the THC level higher and increase the recreational purposes of psychoactive plant.
