well not really, it will dry the buds too fast so the smoke will be slighlty harsher, parts of it will be alot dryer than other bits and drying buds needs air flow o help potect against mold spores clinging onto your buds, go with hanging them instead.
hope that helps

The danger of the paper bag method is no air flow which could cause mold. Find a hanger in your closet and hang your stuff until it's dry. Usually doesn't take more than a week.

I have used the paper bag method and Bobby is dead on with the harsh taste thing. Buds taste 100% better when hung to dry! In a paper bag they tend to absorb the scent of the bag. Ruins the natural taste of your yummys.
