Hey guys, basically long story short, harvested buds the other day, had some aphids and spider mites on them, so did some bud washing which got rid of a large majority of them. After a couple days drying there were still some adult aphids crawling on them, but as the buds have dried they have all taken off. All that's left on the buds are a few dead baby aphids (the white things) and a few spider mites dotted around. Main cola seems to be untouched for the most part. Nothing is moving so assuming all dead (drowned during bud washing hopefully).

As this was my only plant, how bad idea is it to cure and smoke this? It's a high CBD strain, and is important for me medicinally. I've been having to smoke a lot of street weed recently unfortunately - so probably smoked worse than this..

Cheers! :smoking:
 
@namvet25 there are a few on them as I said, just dotted around, but defo dead. I've gone through and just saved the bits of weed that aren't as badly affected. Had to throw loads out though :(
 
DONT THROW THE BUD AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE OIL OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I have smoked way worse than a dead aphid, just sayin I don't think it'll kill ya lol. It might taste a little funny but I doubt you would even be able to tell if it just a few. Now most folks would not want to or advise you to smoke dead bugs but I am just telling you what I would do lol
 
people would be amazed at what is in the bud they smoke its a frigin glue trap.LITERALLY thats why its sticky,defensive measure :D. who here goes over every inch of every single wee bud snipped dropped or something all the time each time. few if any Im guessing like me,we smoke all kinds of crazy stuff in our bud. but yeah de carb it once its dry n do some eats man. average healthy guy /gal? you'll be fine man. as far as bugs go anyways and similar stuff.molds n stuff are different and depends on your health as well.

Yep I don't remember who it was that just posted in LS a budshot of the prettiest friggin sour stomper ever and it had a little buggy stuck in it. It was funny
 
and I have MS and a compromised immune system to boot ,sooo. I eat bugs and smoke em all the time. i never taste fly wings er anything.LOL just good dried bugs,er I mean BUDS LOL! and I usually do not have molds n things but has happened of course, then its a heat treatment over a long time to sterilize them mostly and then can be consumed assuming your health is in decently good standing and all works inside decent. or stomach is sensitive or something.

an infestation is also vastly different and should be avoided imo always!
