Dry - yes
Cured - no

Like Toasty mentioned - a lot of people grind and bake in their oven to speed the drying process. Supposedly it also converts THCA to THC (or something like that). Temps & times vary. I myself place it in a unheated oven and set the temp gauge to 250 degrees F. After the preheat buzzer goes off (meaning it's reached 250 or at least close to it), I let it dry for about an hour, then I raise my oven's temp control knob to 325. When the preheat buzzer goes off - I take it out (just takes a couple of minutes). Some just do 325 for 5 minutes in a preheated oven. Others - 325 in a unheated oven, and after preheat buzzer goes off, then wait another 5 minutes. For me, the slower longer lower temps seem to work best.

Drying also helps get rid of a lot of the chlorophyll too - which if you have ever have a tincture with lots of chlorophyll - is nasty tasting!
