When I manage to break stems I didn't intend to, I typically dab a little molasses on the wound and then loosely wrap them with masking tape to hold it in place while it heals. They generally heal fairly well if not completely severed. These plants are fairly resilient and can bounce back from some abuse.

Whenever I break a branch, I just Tape it up with masking tape and it usually heals up.
When they break completely off like you have in the cup, I would either toss them or take a bunch of cuttings from them for clones.

I keep a roll of metal tape around just for that. A few wraps, and its usually strong enough to hold up by itself, although sometimes I'll add a stick/paperclip/etc as a splint. The tape not only acts like a cast, but seals it off too, helping to still transport water/food to the branch in case of a bad break. I just taped up 2 big branches I snapped 20 minutes ago, doing mom maintenance and getting too rough...

Think i'm gonna go back to using Si supplements and chasing PH drifts. It does seem to make the branches more rubbery\pliable, and not split as often from what i remember. I think the problem is me though, and I'm just not as careful lately as i used to be, lol.

I snapped a fairly woody and thick stem a few week ago, unfortunately thecrepair never took and I wish I'd taken it off and cloned it.
Now clearly you have a few totally severed , I'd clone them , either as is or cut into a few clones

My fan keeled over on a plant on my current table. I just made clones and thanked the gods for one less plant to trim in early flower

Cannabis is pretty darn resilient. I broke the main stalk of a 6 foot plant about 8 inches off the ground. Didn’t tear the outer “bark”, I drove a broomstick into the ground and tied the stalk to the broomstick, plant did fine for another month until harvest!
