You are confusing drying with curing. First you have to dry the buds, for which you should either hang upside down or put loosely in paper bags or newspaper, in a cool to room temp place with good air ventilation. The buds will be dry in anywhere from 5-14 days.
After drying you have to cure for taste, which involves putting the buds loosely in mason jars sealed airtight except to be opened for 15 minutes or so per day to let the moisture vent out and some fresh air in. The longer you cure the better the taste but at a minimum of one week, 3-4 is better.
You can pinch throughout this process for smoke, it may not taste as good as the final product will but the potency will all be there.
