Hon, in spite of what some folks will tell you, males can be smokable! It's just that they vary a lot in potency! Some are "sticky" and some are not.

In a wild situation, "sticky" males trap some of their own pollen, and so do not reproduce as well as a "non-sticky" male. They die out after a while. For females it pays off to be "sticky"- more pollen gets trapped and more seeds are fertilized. Wild cannabis self-selects for "sticky" females and "non-sticky" males.

However, we humans have been busy breeding for that lovely extra-sticky, extra-trichy, bud! This has affected the potency of the males, too. The percent of "sticky" males goes up- and now, it is selected for! So as we go along breeding our pot, we should be getting more and more potent, "sticky" males. With males, it's still a roll of the dice on how potent it will be. (Wonder if there will be a day when we breed strains in which the males and females are equally potent? :thumbsup: )

I have seen some pics of very "sticky" males that look as good as most females! They are NOT usually as good as their sisters, but male can be quite acceptable as a smoke. Or it can be "hemp". No way of really telling until you try it.

Or you can make canna-butter with it. Or brownies. Green Dragon.

Or you can toss it. If you have other cannabis plants, you should get rid of it. Unless you want a HUGE number of seeds in your buds. You might consider saving a little pollen from it (do a search for "how to"), so you can fertilize a single bud on your next plant (hopefully a female) and have a nice supply of seeds for the future.
