You can but you are far better off waiting until the plant is properly finished, dried and cured. Doing what you are asking about won't be a representitive of the finished product. Likely it will be weak and harsh as hell.
NEVER rush the drying or curing process, that is what makes these strains what they are. I agree with Screwnuts 100%, tell your friend to be patient and it will be much more potent when the curing process is done.
