using bud rot to make hash/oil - best/safest method?? help needed plz

**judd77** · 05-21-2010, 06:03 AM

hello everyone at RIU,

quick couple of questions if you all may, i recently harvested and found some of my bud had started to develop the dreaded bud rot. i basically just chopped off the affected area and the mould didn't spread however i made sure i chopped the buds right back and as such have buds with rot which still have goodness in them. i was wondering what the best way to use this bud??

after reading up on using it for oil extraction i'm still not sure whether making oil from it will extract any contaminates from the mould

i usually use butane for my oil extractions but have also used iso aswell, would it be wise to use either of these methods??

would making ice hash maybe be best for it as this may not disturb the bud rot??

or is using it to cook with (making cannabutter) okay??

all help/advice appreciated

If you cut out the rot just smoke it you girl.

Yeah ppl ask to buy damaged product all the time, I got a friend that will call around to the dispensaries specifically looking for molded/seeded budz.

I was under the impression that once the mould was gone its all good to go. Maybe i am wrong. Or is that what you mean...? Sorry just read it again. Do you mean using the actual bud rot for something?

yeah rocksteady, the tips which i cut off with the bud rot through it - i was gonna just use for oil but i'v read that using solvents could extract the nasties aswell so i'm unsure whether thats true - heard and read conflicting answers regarding extraction
