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!
ThaiBuddhaMan Reviewed by ThaiBuddhaMan on . Question about the tincture I'm making First, the background, then the question. I have some ground up bud soaking in 190 proof grain alcohol right now. Been soaking 20 days. I'm going to let it go 10 more days, then start evaporating off the alcohol so I'm left with mostly the canna-oil. I'm going to heat the tincture very slowly, safely, and carefully to about 170 degrees and let the alcohol boil off. Okay, here's the question. I want to be able to take this tincture under my tongue. However, the alcohol is *very* Rating: 5
