hi king. cannabis should take at least 3 weeks to a month to dry mate, it can be done quicker but i find this makes for a harsh smoke, once dried i store in airtight containers for at least 4 weeks usely much longer, its also importent to keep them fairly cool and in a dark area, some indicas will have ya coughing your lungs out if there dried quickly and with out propper curing, in all honesty cure fore as long as you can, if ya do it right then ya smokes only gonna get better, and far far sweeter, .............................peace to you all ..........................................
