DEC 01, DEC 07, JAN 25, FEB 23, MAR 10, Here are some of the dangers you may incur if you happen to smoke moldy weed:.
Inhaling mold will likely result in sinus pain or congestion, and even more so if you are allergic to mold. In some extreme cases, this may result in a persistent sinus infection. Another unsavory side effect of inhaling mold is brain fog. I know. Tricky to identify, right? However, if the coughing persists for some time after inhalation or is painful, this is a sign that something may be wrong.
This only happens in rare, extreme cases, but if you believe you might have smoked moldy weed and you have a fever, you should see a doctor immediately. This also only happens in rare cases, but it is the worst reaction your body can have to moldy weed.
This can lead to serious cases of pneumonia, and even be deadly. Luckily, there are a few measures to take to ensure your cannabis stays fresh, healthy, and mold-free:.
To combat this, use airtight containers preferably dark glass or food-grade aluminum , and avoid storing your cannabis in the freezer or fridge. While you may be limited in your capacity to remove mold from your weed, you're fully capable of preventing it in the first place. If your cannabis is moldy, chances are the mold is a type of aspergillus, a group of nearly common molds.
This is the same sort of fungi that you may find growing on your vegetables or old foods in the fridge or pantry. Aspergillus molds may be commonplace, but they are rather picky when it comes to the environments in which they live.
It thrives in warm, wet, and humid areas with little circulation or ventilation of the air. The good news is that this means that it's actually pretty easy for you to prevent your weed from becoming moldy.
All you need to do is put it in an airtight container, preferably one that is just large enough for the amount of weed, stored in a dry place. The less extra space the better, as this means less airflow within the container. Also, be sure to avoid or remove any moisture within the container before stashing your weed in it.
If you're storing large amounts of marijuana in one place, you should consider investing in a dehumidifier. This will help keep excess moisture out of the air. A dehumidifier can also be used to prevent mold from forming on marijuana plants as they grow. If you have an indoor cultivation site, be sure to always keep fresh air circulating within the room. Make use of some sort of exhaust fan or ventilation system to pipe out the hot and humid air surrounding your plants while replacing it with fresh, dry air.
As long as the cultivation environment remains cool and dry, aspergillus and other molds will have a hard time growing on your marijuana. You should do your best to always avoid smoking weed with mold on it. Unfortunately, it is not harmless nor something we can ignore when we find it.
Like bud rot, mold on your weed can ruin a whole stash and present health risks if smoked on marijuana. The first thing you'll notice if you smoke moldy weed is the smell and taste. Instead of the lovely aroma and flavor we all love, moldy weed will taste and smell terrible. The taste alone will probably prevent you from smoking any moldy weed. More seriously, you may become very sick if you smoke moldy weed. Intentionally inhaling aspergillus spores runs the risk of developing aspergillosis.
This is a lung infection that may cause symptoms like fever, trouble breathing, chest pain, and coughing up blood. The aspergillus spores are also capable of causing severe allergic reactions for some people. In the most critical cases, patients may develop what is called invasive aspergillosis.
This is a fungal lung infection that spreads to the blood vessels and travels throughout the body.
