I've heard a lot of talk lately about mold on buds, and it's been brought up in the passed. I'm not sure i've ever gotten any bud that was moldy, but just to make sure, could one of you post a picture of mold on Marijuana.

If I can try to give you a bit of advice, I'd say that you will most likely know mold when you see it. It doesn't look right, sometimes doesn't smell right - certain types harder to see, while some look like cotton or spider webbing.

In other words, if you have come across it, don't smoke it, sell it, etc. Accept your losses, toss it in the shitter and buy more pot. Hope that helps.

I'd smoke moldy weed if I felt like it.

Depending on how moldy it is.

shit's nasty looking. thank god I've never come across any moldy bud.

really depending on who you buy weed from,
if you get it from a decent source and take decent care of it from the time you get it till you smoke it you should never have to deal with it.

toxicity?

My sarcasm detector is in the shop, so to answer your question if you were serious:


Q: Are there any negative effects to smoking cannabis with mold growth on it (light green or white colored) and is there any way to remove the mold?

A: Yes, this could be potentially dangerous. Molds are fungi, and some species of mold can produce highly toxic chemicals. Even if you remove all the mold that you can see, the chemicals they produce could be spread throughout the Cannabis. There's no practical way to identify whether the particular mold growing on your Cannabis is toxic or not, but burning and inhaling the smoke of potentially toxic mold isn't worth the risk.

The only thing you can do is throw the Cannabis away. If it was growing mold, chances are it would not have been very good smoking material anyway. Making sure that Cannabis is thoroughly dry before storing it should help prevent against mold.

Probably the primary acute danger with smoking cannabis that has molded is allergic reaction. Many molds produce chemicals and contain cells that can cause severe allergic reactions. The second danger is that a toxin produced by the mold would have a lingering damaging effect that would not be immediately identifiable. Your health is worth more than it would cost to buy more.

Stay safe kids, class-up and don't smoke mold.

You can get mold spores in you, i had mold in my lung once and had to take medication for it, but it wasn't from smoking cannabis, i breathed it in.
