Cooking with moldy bud?

[xxFriendlyStrangerxx]

I just realized that the rest of my stash is covered in mold so I figure if I cant smoke it, Ill cook with it. So I was wondering if the bud if safe to eat...like not to make firecrackers, but maybe some cannabutter?
Also if anyone knows how much bud/shake to mix with butter, cooking time, etc, that would be great. Ive found a couple recipies on here, but I was wondering which one would be the best (easiest) one to go with.
Alltogether Ive got about 5 grams of bud, and 10-12 grams of shake...
Links would be great, thanks for any help :rasta:

i would throw it away man i consider myself a microbial expert..it is my job..but until recently i have not reasearched mold and weed....i would definetly say eating is better than smoking.......but again stomach cancer..is that better than lung cancer? i don;t know i have ate and smoked moldy weed before.....roll the dice you won't have any side effects for years anyway

Yeah, breathing in mold spores doesn't sound like a great idea. I wouldn't smoke it. I prolly wouldn't eat it either. If it's black mold, definitely throw it out, that shit is nasty.

don't consume moldy bud.. It's a shame a damn shame.. but i strongly advise against consuming it in anyway if it is "covered" in mold.
definately don't smoke it..

Is it black?
a little mold is one thing...but do you seriously want to ingest mold in any way?
and we're not talking cheese mold.. we're talking vegetation mold..

I've smoked bud that almost molded.. i had a yield once i had to keep sealed up for more days than i expected and some of the buds molded.. i didn't smoke those and that was only a little mold. the rest of the buds were also pretty heady and harsh..

but those buds didn't have visible mold on it


got pics?

[xxFriendlyStrangerxx]

No pics...sry, but the mold is white and looks kind of like spider webs.......I was thinking if i made butter or oil to mix in brownies with it, and strained out all of the peices so there was no actuall mold in it that i could use it? I kind of exagerated with the "covered" part, sorry but I was flippin out, lol its more like the mold is lightly layered around the bud, so that it all sticks together....So dont you think that straining all the peices out of the butter, and the heat from cooking would kill any spores? Need help quick im planning on cooking tommorow morning if its safe

There are so many species of mold out there that it's hard to say really. If I were to wager a guess, I'd say you'd probably be okay. Again REALLY hard to say, so I wouldn't advise it.. but.. it's your body.

Good luck, let us know what happens if you try it.

[xxFriendlyStrangerxx]

yeah, well at least its not the dreaded "black" mold that people keep talking about lol so I guess Im gonna give it a go...besides Ive done worse to my body before. So if no one else has any suggestions...Ill probably post my results tommorow afternoon...wish me luck

even if its not the black mold, there are plenty of other dangerous molds out there that can take up a spot in your nugget. i'd throw that shit out definitely.
