moldy hash? BHO or edibles

Don't cook with moldy shit.

 

I can't tell you 100% but I think the bho process would probably kill the spores. At the very least you would have a lot less mold in the BHO than you did in the hash.

Making BHO is fairly easy. Do it outside the house if you can. Theres plenty of u tube videos on making BHO.

 

Normally, I would say throw it out. But if you're really compelled to use it....

Use a high proof grain alcohol to extract your potency, then after you've strained it from the plant matter, use heat to evaporate it faster rather than letting it dissipate slowly in the open air. Some people feel it is ok to us Iso/rubbing alcohol for making concentrates that you intend to eat, just so long as you evaporate all the alcohol. I prefer grain (drinking) alcohol for my patients.
Once that's finished, you'll have a concentrate, and if heated for long enough after evaporation, it should also be activated. Process this with coconut oil, or clarified butter as directed below, to promote bioavailability/absorption.

Once you have your potent, bioavailable hash oil, after all the alcohol and heat exposure, this is probably the safest way to consume your moldy material.

Smoking just the concentrate, may potentially still allow spores into your lungs. The odds of that occurring are very, incredibly small... you'd probably be fine. But those odds are still higher, than having active spores present after the secondary exposure to heat during the oil process. Consuming mold for digestion is also known to be safer than the inhalation of spores, so a second heating and consumption rather than smoking, is probably your best bet.

Process your concentrate as directed in the tutorial below, keeping in mind it will periodically need manual agitation (pressing, and stiring the solid hashy 'lump' with a spoon, exposing it to the oil) to free up sticky, stubborn glandular material. The first page of the below thread focuses on hash, but the process is basically the same.

decarboxylation is the process of activating your cannabinoids 'potency' by removing the
carboxyl group in the form of carbon dioxide and water vapor, converting your cannabinoids
from their acid, to their more potent delta forms):

Excellent! I was going to ask a similar question and was "secretly" hoping BKS would answer it for me. I just went to put some drying bud into jars to cure and noticed significant mold on two of the biggest buds in the middle of, and a little tuft on a smaller chunk at the edge of the drying screen. Seems wasteful to waste so much good and potent medicine, especially since I basically just grow my own supply and it is rather low at the moment. The process Ms.Smiles suggests is the confirmation by a respected authority of this novices instinct.
