if it's going to be smoked by anybody with respiratory or autoimmune issues, i wouldn't recommend it.
otherwise, it won't KILL you.....

What makes you think that mold spores would be more likely to end up in the bottom, rather than the top?

welll its not just that really, but the fact that they are likely not to be toxic to your intestines vs your lungs... I mean I've heard of people accidently eating moldy bread with no ill effects... but this on the other hand is cooked... if we got into the details we could see if toxins from mold are water soluble or not... I would assume so, since mold washes off with water....

I agree! 99-ish % of food poisoning is caused by bacteria or viruses. And the digestive tract is inhospitable for most fungi anyway. I was just curious.

I guess it'd be good if someone did their research and looked to see if the toxins produced by the kinds of mold that grow on bud is water soluble or not, and if it is dangerous in tiny amounts in our digestive system or not(I highly highly doubt it, stomach acid kills fungi)

I ended up throwing the moldy stuff away. I do still wonder if the 99% rubbing alcohol would have killed the mold when making simpson oil.?????????????????????

I think water curing it first would make a world of difference.....
I mean seriously guys, what is the likelyhood of anything mold is producing being fat soluble?? imo not very likely, it seems like an entirely water-soluble substance, as well as what it produces... I mean as I've said before, the stuff WASHES RIGHT OUT.

Wonder if you could pressure cook the buds to kill the nasties like done for growing mushrooms so the substrate is steralized. Anyone think it will kill the good stuff too? I have some moldy buds I just tossed in the freezer to try any future resurection futuristic science experiments on.

used some trim the other day to make a little oil, alcohol method, there was mold on some of it. Smoked two bowls with the oil coated on top. I'm still here, just putting my 2cents, but it would probably be best to toss it
