How much mold is too much?

[L1ne]

Ok here is the thing ... my plants got mold or but rot or whatever, that white fuzzy stuff.
as soon as i saw it i cut down the moldy plants... fast forward ... i dried the rest and it looks fine to the naked eye ... however my paranoid ass put it under a microscope and i was abled to find (with a lot of searching tho) some mold spots like a bunch of these spider web like threads (not much like 5-10 threads max) ... however its so few that even if you know it where it is you cant see it with the naked eye ...
so first things first ... no i wont smoke it even thou i probably smoked mold since i never really put something before under a microscope.
if i would make butter from it, is it still dangerous ?
I read that mold can, if your lucky and get the wong strain of mold, cause a lung infection but i guess thats more for the smoking part.
I also read that heat "deactivates the mold" but i wonder is only the living organism bad ? or maybe metabolites of that organism and will they still be active after decarboxylation and cooking for butter for eg. (as in "mold dead but still deadly").

Im afraid tossing it is the only really safe solution -.- hopefully im wrong...

I’m the paranoid type, so I personally would toss it all. Your health is more important than your product

From my understanding, there are some things you can make safely with moldy product. Bubble hash is one of them that I remember reading about.

Don’t take my word for it, do your research.

Any mold is too much. Do you have any pictures of the suspect mold under magnification? It could be something else.
You can make bubble hash if it's just a little pm.

You can use it for edible but you shouldn't combust or vape it. Frankly I'd toss it.
