harvesting branches early??

ok here`s the deal. i haven`t been able to get some herb for a few weeks now, and i been massively stressed out lately and could really use a smoke.
I have some plants that been flowering for like 35-40 days now. If i would cut a branch off, at the base of the branch againts the main stalk. Would this seriously hurt my plant?? or would it be cool.
i never cut any branches off beafore, but desperate times call for desprate measures. I mean i really cannot find anything right now, and this is my only option if i want bud

and should i just cut 1, or would it be just as cool if i could cut 2 branches off???
any help on this will ear some rep

Ive cut the top colas, because they were finished a few days earlier. I really dont think it'll will hurt them much, I just wouldnt get carried away. However, its gonna take time to dry/cure if you dont want to cheat urself.

yea, i do plan on drying and curing, but i figure the sooner the better.
should i just cut some colas off, or would it be better to just cu a whole branch at the base. to draw more energy to the other buds?
and BTW i don`t have any branches i`d say 2 nodes from bottom, prunded at beggening of flowering.

yea it will be ok. I like to take individual buds though not whole branches. and your gonna want to take your most advanced bud not your little nothing buds on the bottom. they dont have the thc glands crystalling up just yet.
