Spider mites...is it trash now?

Hey guys and gals. So I recently suffered a catastrophic injury at work, which required hospitalization for about three weeks in a different state...the only person who know about my op had no previous gardening experience, and got instructions on how to flush the plants through emails lol...anyways, about two days before I told him to cut them down, he told me about spider webs forming on top of a couple kolas. (OH NO!!!) So I told him to vacuum them off as good as he could...I got home a couple days ago and they're hanging, about ready for final trim...so my question is...is this bud trash or is it still ok to process it into concentrates or something? I don't really want to smoke the flower, but I was just looking for tips about what I could do to salvage it...could I trim it, freeze it, and then run it through bubble bags with dry ice? The little spider mite bodies should be big enough to be caught by the mesh right?

Spider mites if you have been infected will not harm you but your weed will have webs when you run it thru the grinder
I have had to smoke it before when I had an infestation
Just think of it as organic vegetables :)

The biggest issue is getting rid of the problem in future grows...good luck

Like Herb and Suds says...your biggest issue will be ridding yourself of the mites for your future grows. You'll need to go all out on cleaning up your grow space to be successful. Good luck.
