need advice on old weed.

[skitzle]

hey everyone. this is my first post with my new acc. my old one was smokeymcfly.

anyhow, i've got a little more than a q of some really moist blueberry that has gotten old. The problem isn't that the weed has dried out, but since it was so moist it's started growing mold.

I know i can't smoke the weed but i was wondering if i could use it to make cannabutter. Does fire beat mold? or would i get just as sick as smoking it?

lemme know before i throw this weed out.

-Cheers

I really wouldn't even suggest making cannabutter out of it. I wouldn't take the chance. ;-)

the heat of an oven will kill the mold. what the oven doesnt get, your stomach acid will

thanks for the input, but the 2 differing opinions are making it a tough call. anyone else know if this is ok/have done this/know it will kill me?

That's what I do with all my old weed, make butter or oil.

 

[skitzle]

so there's no absolutely no chance this can kill me or make me sick?

How much mold we talking about?
it smells like mold?
or big old nasty looking hairy cultures growin' on it?

If it's just dry, you'll be fine.
You only have to get it up to 180 degrees to kill Bactria
but keep it under 200-250 to maintain the potency.

it's a bunch of white mold that we originally thought was crystal growth. the bud looks like it's covered in crystal but on a closer look you can tell it's white mold. It still smells like bud, but this was some stanky ass weed when it was fresh.

It's definately not dry, the weed's still very moist. so is this a good idea or should i take Ms. Fox's advice and just not risk it?

-Cheers

White powdery mold? after harvest?
It have it before harvest?

I'd just cook it down.
Just me, I guess it could harm ya' if you were frail to start with.

I smoked moldy weed once... back in my noob days... don't do it! That shit was whack. It tasted spicy. Making butter outta it might not be so bad though. Spicy butter?

Mold and fungi spores are virtually indestructable . Do not ingest either .

 

[MissP]

You should be fine. I mean, penicillin and blue cheese are made from moldy components. It might not taste as good as fresh stuff but it won't kill you.

 

[Paladin]

True ... penicillin and blue cheese are derived from a strain of mold .....so is TB. What you don't know ...CAN HURT YOU . I repeat .. never ingest an unknown species of mold or fungus .

 

[RooRman]

I agree with Paladin. It's simply NOT worth it. Be safe and healthy.

Why chance it. I have in the past, but that was over 25 years ago. No mold whatsover here goes into these lungs or food.
