Is moldy weed completely useless?

never put moist/wet weed into a jar and then just leave it...crack that lid every hour if its moist

That's why I choose to air cure instead of jar cure...no chance of mold

And are the results as great? To each our own but the way I love compacted buds really tight, You bust down a little bit and gives a huge joint.. Crispy leaves that don't break when touched .. How do I get that Slow jar curing is what I've read

Well we have different standards, and when I worked in a hospital, I saw first hand what mold can do to people, shit they weren't even smoking it, giving it a nice clear pathway for an infection.

Using moldy buds isn't worth a trip to the ICU.

Agreed, which is why I'm sharing information on how to get powdery mildew off your buds.

That video is not PM, who knows what it is, but it certainly has fruiting bodies and is pretty up in that bud.

ETA, ya that method is used for pm. I just don't want people to get mold in their buds and make the mistake and think all molds are PM and a weak H2O2 will take care of that, when it will not.

I simply can't believe that people believe 3% consumer grade h2o2 is the solve all.

Whether you simply believe it or not doesn't change the fact that H2O2 kills mold. What's so hard for you to grasp?

TonightYou said:

Its not just mold its the actual spores as well that pose a potential health issue.

actual spores? H202 kills mold, that includes the spores, even the actual spores

That's a goddamn joke and really irresponsible advice

You're a goddamn joke, back away from the keyboard and pick up a book. What you are arguing against is common knowledge to: children, third world children, people who can read, people who clean their house and people who have mold on their cannabis, but you seem to insist H2O2 is an irresponsible way to kill mold. I have stated my point, backed with the facts. If you think it is so irresponsible, let's see you post up some facts that support your argument instead of the dribble you speak.

It's not like cannabis is fuckin crack, is it really worth it Just to get high? Are people that fuckin desperate? Certainly isn't medical being moldy.

Hospitals use a no-bleach, no-chemical, anti-fungal, anti-bacteria, anti-viral cleaner to disinfect and clean, they call it hydrogen peroxide, walk into any janitor's closet and talk about your different standards.

The OP asked "Is moldy weed completely useless?" My standards were in my original post that included my advice to lab test.

H2O2 and water, dunk them good, let them soak for 5 minutes, take them out of the dunk tub and lightly spray them off with water, hang with a fan directly on them for 5 minutes, do not leave fan on buds for too long, they will dry quick, after 5 minutes of in front of the fan then hang to dry as you normally would. Test at a lab, then smile.

If you don't believe, that's fine, but don't be a Jim Jones trying to get others to drink your kool-aid without any facts supporting your belief.

You know no wonder this is in the newb section. You honestly don't know what you are talking about. Keep smoking those moldy buds

This would be a better thread if you actually tried to defend your statements with facts, and not condescending straw man arguments.

There are several techniques for extracting THC. Don't know for sure but it should be possible (in theory) to do that with moldy weed and will probably not be worth the effort unless you're stuck with pounds of moldy buds. Do let us know if you figure it out - would be good to know.

I have no skin in this game, Im not the one smoking moldy cannabis, and it gets old hand holding people through the most basic infomation available at their finger tips.
Nothing I said was a straw man. and can be easily looked up.
Know-it-all know-nothings. I don't know what a janitors closet has to do with anything, shit that stuff can still let MRSA be contagious. I was speaking of patients who were ill from exposures to molds and mycotoxins. That's all just silly strawman though, keep those buds moldy!

ETA nice bushes colonuggs

You have implied that someone on this post has said that all mold is powdery mildew. That is a straw man argument my friend. Nobody disagrees with the statement that all mold is not pm.

You have implied that I and/or others on this thread are smoking moldy weed, when in fact what I am smoking is mold free because I was successful in removing it. That's another straw man argument.

You implied that someone on this thread claimed the mold in the video was powdery mildew. Another straw man. Nobody said that.

You have almost conceeded that H2O2 works on pm, but still should not be used because people here are too stupid to correctly identify pm. That's condescending.

When Sativasied called you out on some of your statements, you offered no data to refute. That's just no way to make your point. If you've got data to refute with, share it!

Find me supporting information where H2O2 will remove all spores and any potential mycotoxins. Honestly try, especially using easily available commercial concentrations.

I wasn't implying people can't identify mold types because they are too stupid, shit I can't. Identifying types of mold and fungi is not easy work, that's what my statement was trying to get across. It is work and labs that can properly identify fungal types. With regards to PM, I wasn't disagreeing. I'd still throw it out, but PM can be arrested with bleach solutions, H2O2, or better remove the ability via environmental controls.

I've implied PM, because people brought it up, but left the caveat there are millions of types of fungi.

Info is out there and well founded, go seek it. I'm not holding your hand. I was more being as ass with my comment smoking moldy weed, but you missed that snark.

That would not be my burden as I never made the claim that it would. My contribution to this thread was reference to a video showing how PM can be removed with H2O2. Nothing more.

To refute, you need not prove that every mold can be destroyed by H2O2, you need only show one example of a mold that cannot be killed by H2O2. That would be between you and Sativafied and I would be in the peanut gallery learning from the discussion that you are now ducking.

not ducking, been participating but really just losing interest.

moral of the story don't smoke moldy buds is all.

Fair enough, even if the moral to your story is pretty fucking obvious.

Get a steamer that fits on top of a stove pot. Boil some alcohol (carefully) and let the vapor hit the damaged herb. Like steaming vegetables.

wow I am the only one that knows of this method......... water cure. But then I would run it as a batch of BHO after the 10 day cure in water and it was dried.

Just to add, use all common safety precautions as this is extremely flammable.

Boil alcohol...? That's not intelligent at all.
