i chuck mine in the dehydrator if needed, but never took note of a weight difference. primarily because i only have a digital kitchen scale for baking to weigh it so no fractions of grams. it does feel lighter and i don't have to pull 2 or 3 hits from my LB to get it vapin' so i do know it is much drier.
wet weed irks the hell out of me too, but beggars can't be choosers, i get what i can get and like it. :/
