If buds next to rot buds that weren't rotted them selves they are still dangerous to immune compromised people or those with allergies. The rest of us it's fine. But not the rotten bud. Same goes for mildew. If dried or wet it's dangerous for many. But harmless to most. And we are producing medicine, hint hint, so don't smoke it if you don't have to. Some of you will still do it and be fine. But please don't give or sell to anybody. If you smoke your own moldy crap that's ok. Don't share.
