powdery mold and cooking?

My question is my friends plant had damage by powdery mold rendering it unsmokable. What we don't know is : Is anything usable in making lotion or topical tinctures (non edibles)
Thanks!

Even in a lotion, there is the issue of smell.

All molds aren't created equal, with composting molds like Aspergullus, living on dead material, producing aflatoxins that attack the central nervous system.

Powdery Mildew lives on live material, and produces no known aflatoxins, so if you filter out the filaments and spores to 0.2 micron, using a syringe filter, it will remove the odor and mold taste. With the solids gone, and no aflatoxins, you can mostly use it however you want.

Note that Bothrytis also produces no known aflatoxins, but some people still get a Type 1 allergic reaction to its filaments and spores. With that possible unknown, to err on the side of safety, I suggest not giving filtered moldy material to folks with compromised immune systems or to anyone who isn't aware of exactly what it is.

Good to know thanks!!
