oh I totally agreed i've heard about things tht can happen and to be honest even just a dodgy stomach is enough to say no thanks nevermind all that lung infection n spore crap

I have 9 grams or sumthin but its my friend and his cousin and he said long as I don't smoke it I can get money back (and different weed if he can get any off his mates)

he isn't the brightest spark, still pissed off tho lol

thanks 2 everyone btw for very fast n helpful replies!! this forum seems really good think I may stick around

people rationalize smoking moldy bud too much.
that's definitely mold man, sorry. don't smoke it. cook it, make firecrackers or brownies or something.

people will tell you that the heat of the flame will kill the mold spores before you inhale them, but unfortunately you will still inhale intact mold spores. mold spores in your lungs are bad-- can cause some problems.

cooking may not kill all of the mold spores, but at least they wont be in your lungs.
it's my experience that mold isn't really all that bad for you when it's digested.

If you just smelt it you're fine. In your lungs though? Not sure, maybe it could grow, which would suck the big one.

you're from the UK aren't you...

i've smoked moldy bud before and it wasn't that bad and i haven't died (yet)

living in the UK there are much more dangerous things that your buds covered in that you will be inhaling

ye i mean it was tiny bit and i smelt it but i dunno i hope nothing will happen obv. - my friend smoked like a spliff of the stuff n he's been ok today (was lats night) so dunno if maybe they mold isn't right type or bad enough or what, but then again could just be him etc

"Because Penicillium and Aspergillus spores look the same under the microscope both groups are lumped together in lab reports and simply referred to as pen / asp. In healthy persons with allergies these molds often cause allergic reactions, in unhealthy persons these same molds can in rare cases even cause infections especially lung infections."

hmm

haha I am and ye that shit is true man

as someone from the UK yourself you must have come across the dreaded 'soapbar' hash
god it's awful

You'll be fine. The only danger is pulling unburnt spores into your lungs while smoking like J Dylan. Unless you have one hell of a sniffer, your only smelly the smoke.

Your friend will most likely be fine too, but I wouldn't push youur luck.

Definately looks like mold. Even if it wasnt mold (even though I'm almost positive that it is mold) it does not look like a natural part of a bud at all. Go get your $$ back.

[n3m]

he also sed i cud have a free joint off it i was like...nah....its ok lol

[Ripbowlz]

id talk to your dealer about this shit

[J Dylan]

cool that you're not getting ripped off.
you really ought to inform him of the dangers of mold.
it's not gonna kill you, but it could expose you to infections you really
dont wanna deal with. lung infections? no thank you.

and if anyone says what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, i will kill them.
lol
