the cure is what takes out that green smell. if your flowers aren't dried out get them into a closed container asap...it'll draw moisture left in the stems and you can still get the cure going (leave enough out for yourself while drying the rest). after the outter layer gets some moisture follow the standard instruction for a cure and they should be fine in a couple weeks, depending on moisture left inside. but in the future only use the paper bag dry for a quick sampling session...or if you have to dry fast for whatever reason.
