Mold on Bud

[Slackersulli]

My room mate was keeping some freshly picked bud (within 2 weeks) in a pill bottle to let it cure some more, as recommended by the guy he bought it from. He opened the bottle 2-3 times a day to give it some fresh air. He opened the bottle today to show me, and there was mold on 75% of a 3inch nug. Is there anything we can do with it? Is it still smokable? If we continue to let it dry will it get better? Any suggestions woudl be great.

I think mold is bad for you, but I am probably wrong.

I'd throw it all away and consider it a loss. Too much risk.

Be carefull where and how you store it. I use tupperware in a dark dry place.

A fresh picked bud? In a container? That's your first problem. You don't out wet weed in a dark place in an almost airtight container. That is a recipe to create mold. Buds MUST be 90% dry before putting them into any kind of container with a lid, or mold will form.

I'd suggest making oil from it, as the Alcohol will kill the mold on contact, but it's only 3 grams. You'll be lucky to get .5gram of oil from it.

Toss it, and learn from this mistake so you don't do it again.

Don't toss it, cook it!
