It's very dangerous to smoke mold, but I've always just picked any off and I'm still living. Doesn't exactly sound like bud rot to me though. Bud rot doesn't start in the leaves. Especially toward the end of flowering, plants can turn all kinds of colors. Awhile back I had one plant that was either green, yellow or purple, with no variation in between. There are many reasons for this or purpleness in general, but most people say purpling is an indication of improper nutrients. On my current grow, the hairs of the buds directly under the CFLs are turning purple, while the others are not. No clue why. If it's not moldy or rotten it's perfectly safe to smoke.

Here's some shots of bud rot from one of my early rain harvests. Notice the pretty purple plant parts? Nutrients were nothing other than MG soil with time release ferts. (Gasp) I know, but it works just fine for the plant it and forget it method of outdoor growing.
