Daaaang you kids are spoiled! Back in the 60s and early 70s in SoCal, you smoked what you had...leaves, males, and all! Kilos had stems, seeds, and leaves, as well as bud (and sometimes even the roots!) YES, you can smoke leaves . YES, you can smoke males. We older hippies did just that! We weren't quite as picky as you kids today! We smoked it all but the stems, seeds and roots. The stems went in vodka or were smoked durning droughts (ugh!), the seeds were tossed in some far away place, and the stems were tossed. Males are smokable, they just aren't as good as female bud! But in a drought, dang right, smoke those leaves and males! It will just take twice as much, but if you don't have any bud... Bet some of you who grew, but ran out, are wishing you didn't toss those males right about now! If your friends grow, and you expect a yearly end of summer drought, get your friends to give you their males-cure and stash them for next summer.
