One of my White Widow Auto's just got a bad case of Botrytis, aka Bud Rot. Instead of throwing away the whole plant, I decided to do a little science experiment with myself as the guinea pig. I'm going to cook the weed, eat it, and report back what happens.
Hypothesis: The mold will be destroyed by high temperatures in the oven during the decarboxylation process, making it safe for human consumption.
Procedure:
Success
I didn't experience any side effects, plus the cannabutter was potent and tasted fine. Edibles seems like a great use for a cannabis plant that has contracted a mold like Botrytis, as long as you catch it at the early stages of infection. Try at your own risk!

Procedure:
- Harvest and trim plant. Hang to dry for 1 day. We will be using only buds and sugar leaves (no stems).
- Heat 100g of the partly moldy cannabis in oven at 235 °F (or 112.7 °C) for 60 minutes. Stir cannabis at 30 minute mark to ensure even cooking.
- Take out of oven and let cool off. Grind to a coarse consistency.
- Make cannabutter with decarboxylated cannabis (see recipe here).
- Consume cannabutter and note effects.
