Weed a bit too damp to burn ideally - what's the best fix?

So I've got some weed, packaged in a mason jar (as received :-D - grower's early failures taught him that we knew better than he, so mason jars it was - for preserving the flavor*).

It's damper than i'd like it to be, it smokes _okay_, but not as well as it would if it was a little dryer, and it doesn't grind well.

It's been in the jar for close to a month though, after the grower's insufficient drying.

What's the best way to dry it enough to improve smoking qualities without sacrificing the still-developing, but quite delicious flavor?

* I have to say, after having rarely smoked weed that was not stored in air-tight containers over the past few years, weed kept in the typical bags just doesn't taste that great. I'm glad we were able to get this grower to see the light.
 
When I get damp weed (not often depends on dealer) is put buds in a paper envelope and leave for about 12-24 hours, the paper should absorb the remaining moisture out of the bud.

Your weed should tasted better when dried properly.
 
If you keep wet weed in a Mason Jar it's going to grow mold...

Hang it by the stalks in a dark but dry place and let it dry out, then wrap it in a paper towel or something and it should soak up and extra moisture. Then you can cure it in the jars and it will get even better :)
 
I usually just leave damp, trimmed nugs I've picked up out on a folded piece of paper a day or two, with half the paper resting on top. Make sure the nugs are spaced out and aren't making contact with eachother.
 
If its to damp you need to let it cure more before you smoke it. Whether you let it cure naturally or try to speed it up with heat, premmy bud won't smoke right and taste all bad.
