Microwaving will leave a nasty chlorophyll taste, if you're desperate it'll do the trick but putting it in the oven on the lowest heat works better, might have to crack your oven to keep it around 100F. If you want to dry them out properly in a short amount of time break all the buds off the stems and break the bigger buds up. The smaller they are the faster they dry. Dry them out for 3 -4 days then put them in mason jars and burp daily until cured to your liking. They won't have much bag appeal but if it's for personal use who cares?
