I say do it in stages, pull enough bud to get you by for a few days. Then start a water cure...Start a drying process that will be ready in a few days...And for now do the microwave method to get you by...At least you will have smoke at the moment, then abit smoother smoke in a few days, and in a week you will have some vn smoke...If you are hurtin today, you will be hurtin tomorrow most likely, why not be ready for tomorrow alittle better...
