the coffeeshops suppliers probably DO dry in completely dark place to decrease any chance of mold as most people can't follow each plant for the whole cicle.
Its safer to do it that way. It surely doesn't hurt.
Light does degrade THC, but it will take light alone quite a while to degrade your THC to any noticable level.
If you have a place to dry your buds in the dark, do so. If not, its REALLY not a big deal.
Dan, we ran a taste test for coke consumers to see if they can tell which type of coke is which. Only people that drink coke more than once a day could participate.
From 200 people maybe 2 could tell which brand is which. (and 99% of the people HATED the coca cola zero. That was before they were exposed to advertisments)
People like to believe they could tell the difference in things they regularly consume. That doesn't mean its true.
I know of a test some people i knew made giving people in the mall 2 glasses of wine. One of a pretty good quility that costs quite a bit per bottle and one from a 3 bucks a liter bottle and told the people tasting it that each brand was the opposite.
85% of the people liked the glass with the actual cheaper brand.
