In spite of many are about to tell you, males ARE smokable- they just aren't as potent as females. You kids are SO spoiled these days with your seedless buds! We old hippies smoked everything but the seeds and roots!
Males vary QUITE a bit when it comes to THC! A male might be as triched out as a normal female, or it may just be hemp! As a general rule, your "best" male and "worst" female are about equal.
So you can smoke it, just with varying results from male to male. You won't know until you try! You could use them to make canna-butter or use another extractive process.
Me? Old hippie that I am, I'd (if I were out) smoke the best tops after trying each one separately and "butter" all the rest. Making HBO can be quite dangerous- making butter is MUCH safer and easier (plus I am a good cook)!
I would store some of the pollen of the best male, for future use (run a search for how-to details) and start some seeds now. Keep the seedlings under 24/7- small lamp with a CFL + big cardboard box lined with white butcher paper = temporary grow cabinet :). By the time they are big enough for 12/12, the males will be gone and you're well on your way to flowering!

it will work, or your house may burn down. Both will serve as a learning experience regardless :D
