this is my first grow and it seems a real waste to pull the males (7 of 12 plants) that are growing in the field. i usually smoke leaf when i buy, not many/any buds so why can't i smoke male leaves? here are my newbie questions, all responses are appreciated.
1. can't i just allow males to mature and then smoke the leaves and male flowers?
2. can i cut off the males sacs (ouch) and flowers and leave the plant to develop?
3. so what if my females produce seeds, there are plenty of seeds in my normal purchased herb. it'll still get me high right?
i don't want to bombard you all with these basic questions but help is needed asap because the males are stating to show up now. thanks for any and all help.

1.You can smoke males, but they contain very trace amounts of THC, not enough to get you high.

2. They will just grow more balls.

3. Female bud with no seeds is known as "sensimilla" and the bud comes out MUCH MUCH MUCH more potent. The plant sends all its energy to its bud trying to make seeds but since it does not get pollinated it starts creating THC at a much higher rate.

yea just kill them, not worth your girls losing their v-card to the males, you want potent bud, not seeds and male leaves for your smoke

If you want you can collect the pollen and save it but like everyone else said, kill em.
