ditto. they will dry in the sun, but chances are the outside of the bud will become crispy and crumbley dry while the inside might be a little moist, and the smoke will probably be harsh and taste bad. the darkness and length of time drying/curing is a major factor in the outcome of the bud.
i'd sooner suggest letting them dry outside in the sun than the microwave though; i did not like that at all. otherwise, i'd let 'em hang upside down in the dark for a week or two and then place them in jars to cure, but if you're in a rush.. just be sure to use a bong. at least, these are my experiences.
