I had been storing some sticky greens that I purchased a little over a month ago, in a tightly sealed prescrip pill bottle. I had stored pot in such a thing in the past, and it usually dried out if left for a while. To ensure this didn't happen to this type of herb, I placed the baggy it came in on top of the pot in the container. Not thinking of moisture in an air-tight containment and the possibilities of mold, as does a piece of bread in an early childhood science experiment, I left it in a drawer for awhile. I had another type of herb that I was smoking, and a month and 1/2 goes by I decided I would check on the stored green to make sure it was still nice. To my disgust, when I removed the baggy from the top, and pulled the pot out of the container, I felt a fuzzy mold residue on my fingers. The more I examined the pot, the more I realized that it had gotten moldy. I am quite disappointed, and I would hate to think that I would have to throw this green in the trash. The mold mainly consisted of a light green color, and a few black areas of mold which looked like soot or ashes when on my skin. The herb was still extremely moist, and when I went to smell if its aroma still existed, I smelt an ammonia-like scent. Quite unpleasant actually, my nose stings as though i've inhaled the actual chemical. When this occurs, is smoking it ever possible? Are there any health-related problems associated with smoking moldy herb? Is there a possibility of infection from different strains? Please let me know, for now I am just going to let it dry out and then we'll see. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN OFFER ME IS GREATLY APPRECIATED...... FROM ONE BUDLOVER TO ANOTHER, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!?!
