I have two huge colas that had bud rot, can they be used for hash or oil?
Bud rot for hash or oil?

Water hash is the only process that will remove rot and mold. Up to you though. Good luck. Peace GS

I've heard the same ie) water hash. Be careful handling pot with fungal infections, I developed severe respiratory infections from doing so.

Thanks, yeah it was a first time that a happened to me, still not sure why but they were massive, over a ounce wet. The rest seem to be fine.
Cool I was hopping it still can be used.

Molds and rot should float and therefore be caught up with the green matter in the mixing bag. The hash sinks. In extract the molds and funguses are carried through by the solvents. Peace GS

Personally I would not smoke it myself, just giving out the options. Peace GS

Is there a mycologist in the house?
Molds can produce toxins that are extremely harmful, are you sure your method will completely remove all of these? I can see no logical explanation for how standard hash processing techniques would remove mycotoxins from bud.

I wouldn't want to smoke anything coming from moldy buds. This is also partly why I won't smoke hash where I'm not relatively sure of its origin.

yeah i personally just throw em away if i get a moldy bud . its true the fungi should float and stay up on the top of the water but nothin is perfect and it only takes a lil bit of it to cause some serious lung problems in some people you can die from that if your unlucky or sick enough .

What about oil, surely the chemical processes would remove any hazards.
Hummm.

LOL I don't chew my cud twice. As to molds causing problems, this is true in sick or immune deficient folks. Smoking as a healthy individual would likely cause no problems. For me, just grossed out cuz it came from mold. Good luck. Peace GS

Spores are suposed to float i think with hash and i heard that with oil the process destroys the mold or something( not a mycologist 
) but i hope we agree that the direct sites where mold is must be removed carefully and thrown away...
Had a MK ultra with bud rot and did hash that was excellent but it's case sensitive really...
edit :IMO oil isn't worth ash in general ( what ya gonna do ? start a Rick Simpson cure ? )
Cheers!

A touchy subject in some circles because some of the molds can grow in our lungs and others produce deadly aflatoxins.
On the plus side, not all fungus produce the same types or quantities of aflatoxins and Bothrytis (bud rot) is the same fungus that produces noble rot in grapes, from which some of the best wines are made.
It does however taste like a bucket of a--holes, if any part of it is left in the oil or wine, and simply extracting using BHO techniques doesn't remove it.
What we did that does, was to redissolve the BHO in ethanol and pass the solution through a .45 micron syringe filter. At that level of filtration, all spores, plant matter, and even bacteria are removed.
We evaporated the alcohol off in an open beaker on a hot plate set on warm, and it yielded a stiff dark amber oil.
After filtration, there is microscopically no suspended particulate at 1000X, nor any detectable Bothrytis taste or smell.
Sorry I don't have an imperical lab test for aflatoxins. Those of us testing it didn't die or experience ill effects, and did find the oil tasty and potent.

are you f in kiding me??? oil is best to vaporize or smoke... gets you way higher and your not inhaling alll the crap in hash or buds...edit :IMO oil isn't worth ash in general ( what ya gonna do ? start a Rick Simpson cure ?
Cheers!
not all people make motor oil grease oil and put in under there tounge
obviously you havent been experienced

Doubtful. In fact you may just refine the worst things in the fungus. Think about a poison mushroom, who cares if you kill it? It has the POISON in it. If you use butane you could probably extract the dangerous alkaloids in the fungal matter just as well as the THC resins. Don't think you are killing nasty fungal poisons with any solvent of any kind.
Then again, just ignore all advice and come back here and start a "you guys were totally right" thread from the hospital.

Iso wash should kill any pathogens, no???
Iso sterilizes, cleans...
I'd rather that than water - which only seperates, not kills anything.
IMHO.

Alcohol is the best way to suspend about a million poisons. You can kill the fungus and preserve the poison. You could kill all the bacteria, all the viri and all life and it could still kill you. Poison does not need to be alive to kill.
My god peeps, be safe.
