ARE YOU SERIOUS!? I have never heard of this shit, and i don't care if it is straight up THC i wouldn't smoke one.. But yea find one and take a pic for us and cut it open that'd be kool..

Smoke your worms y'all but i'm good with just the bud

EDIT: Here's some quicky info i found..
First a thread regarding this :THC Worms? - 420 Lounge
Second an article from high times: THC WORM?
There’s been talk around our town about a “THC worm.” Is there such a thing?

Dear 3times,
They might be talking about corn earworms. They’re usually green with stripes. They’ve taken a real liking to cannabis. Corn earworms and other caterpillars burrow into buds, usually near the top. They consume plant juices by chewing the main stem and also eat foliage. Identify damage from caterpillars by the abundance of droppings they leave at and near wounds. The droppings accumulate in between buds. Droppings fall out when the buds are hung to dry. Look below and you’ll see lots of little poops.
From 1/2-inch to 4 inches long, caterpillars and loopers are cylindrical, with feet; they’re often green but can be virtually any color from white to black. While caterpillars have sets of feet the entire length of their bodies, loopers have two sets of feet at either end of their bodies.
This is generally a concern for outdoor crops, though it’s becoming more of a problem indoors. Check for caterpillars by spraying a plant with pyrethrum aerosol and shaking the leaves a couple of minutes later. The quick knockout effect of the spray causes caterpillars to fall from the shaken plant.

Finaly another thread: YaHooka Forums - Worms In my bud?WTF!

^^^^^^
agreed worms are defintaly real. I love the pop sound they make when you smoke them.

Here is the article
Sorry for replying to an old thread but I found it while trying to find what kind of worms I have. I think it is the same worm as the original poster. I picked some ditchweed yesterday, it has crystals on it so it looks smokeable. The buds and stems have worms in them. The little worms are white, but the bigger ones are pink. A friend told me it is a THC Worm, he said as the worm eats the bud, it stores the thc in its body, and will get you very high if you smoke it.

It looks like the "Rose stem sawfly" on this page:

I'm not sure if that's it because I can only find pictures of white ones, no pink.
The reason I'm concerned is that I have 5 good bud plants growing about 20 feet away from these plants, and I'm sure they are worm infested too.

Maybe there is worms that attack cannabis. This probably means they consume and have large amounts of THC in their bloodstream (I'm not a bug expert, maybe bloodstream isn't the right word.) but this sure as hell doesn't mean im gonna smoke a worm to get high. Some interesting info though.

I prefer my weed worm free even if they did make you trip balls that is what mush is for

grow outdoors and find out first hand how real they are.

we call them night moths. they fly in at night and lay eggs in the tightest bud clusters. i assume they do this for protection. if you inspect closely in the mornings you can find newly laid eggs.
once the egg hatches the tiny caterpillar starts to burrow into the center stalk. the eggs are pin head sized so the newly hatched caterpillar can't be much bigger.
i usually spot an area by seeing 1 dead fan leaf on the bud. follow the dead leaf and there it is. only thing by this time it is at least 1/2" inch long and has desroyed the bud by eating the stalk and pooping every where.
then any moisture causes rot to set in.
i use ladybugs, pirate bugs and praying mantis to combat them. they usually appear in the fall. about the time of bud ripeness.
as far as smoking them. HELL NO!! i pop them and feed them to the fish!!

moths normally go only for a small number of specific plants and leaf the rest alone, never had trouble with them when growing outdoors... and if yiu find one, well have some mezcal *disgusting but cool*
