A question about seeds and growing

I am new to all of this and also have a black thumb. I am signed up for a growing class but on a waiting list because it's the most popular one around. A few night ago a friend stopped by with some fine bud. He left a pinch on the tray and later when I was about to share some with hubby I noticed a seed in it.
Can I sprout this seed? If so, can someone share a good link with step by step instructions?

I would hold the plate sideways and let all water drip and put in ziplock not sealed.Above the refrigerator in a cabinet where its a little warmer wouldn't hurt either. 3-5 days put em in rockwool ,coco,whatever your medium.

My way which always works for me is to fold up the seeds in kitchen paper towel, place the paper towel on a saucer, wet it until it has soaked up all the water and then pop another saucer on top for darkness. Place it in a window seal for warmth and check daily until it has sprouted.
Depending on your temperature in one to two days they should sprout and at this point I plant them in a small pot(solo cup would work). Once there are 2 or 3 sets of leaves they go in a big pot with potting mix.

Decades ago I grew plants doing exactly that.
