Contrary to popular fear mongering, mold will not kill you, but still, you should never consume cannabis that you know is moldy. For prohibitionists, mold is the new blob; a magical and deadly monster that no one can see or knows much about, but which can kill unsuspecting teens. However, in reality, mold is just a problem created by moisture lock.

When moist marijuana is packed in airtight containers the conditions to create mold are perfect. Most growers cure their cannabis correctly, but when they don’t, consumers get moldy products.

Be on the lookout for a white stringy substance that clings to buds around the stems. If you spot something that doesn’t look like marijuana plant matter then it probably isn’t. Bust open the suspected area and more white gunk should be apparent. Some mold appears as black spots on your buds, but I’ve found the most common to be a white mildew-like substance that clearly is not cannabis. Discard any affected plant matter immediately and be thankful that shit isn’t in your lungs.
