heat is THC's worst enemy when drying,buy drying your buds slowly you give your bud the chance to use up the stored starches giving it a better taste and smother smoke, Bud that is dried to quickly is much harsher on the throat and lungs.cure them in glass jar in a cool dark place, just make sure you burp the jars everyday for a week or so to let out any excess moisture and you'll be fine, oh yea cure for ~ 1+ month for optimal smoke.
