Regarding female pollen: Each and every female cannabis plant I've worked with is capable of producing pollen sacks under stress. It's hard-wired in the plant as a survival technique. It's not a genetic weakness per say...but it is a significant genetic ability to self-pollinate in extreme emergency or stress. This trait comes in handy when properly implemented, but is a strain-killer if over-manipulated.
The bummer is, that some backyard breeders screw-up so bad when growing and breeding that they encourage the responsiveness to the stress, (like stressing the femmed seeds, and stressing those resulting seeds, and then stressing the next generation...) making the resultant seeds more prone to low-stress hermaphrodism. Done properly, you will never see a male from those particular seeds. Done wrong, your genetics become trash.

Any chemical/hormonal/steroidal treatment that alters a plants hormones or genes is likely not good to smoke. Even if smoking a mutagen is your thing, likely you should at least tell those that you share your meds with that the buds contain those compounds, and that there is no study that had deemed smoking them, as safe.

Some folks may even be allergic. (just a theory, lol)
