there is lots ways you can dry herb fast,i been doing it for years.
1.DONT USE MICRO
2.THC starts to degrade,vaporize,whatever it starts to go away at about 200 F
so Think low dry heat.(slow cure is allways better)
3.Probaly the chlorophyll given ya the headache,happens when i smoke leaf.

Now the soulution,if you have a regular moinitor for computer,you can set a bud on the back of it on grates for few hours works great.
I have a little oven that has a keep warm setting thats stay at 140 F.Works great
