I bought a hlf of some bad ass buds earlier today, I then put my jeans in with the wash while the sack was still in the pocket. The sack was not sealed well and it came out soaked.

It really doesn't smell any different, so what I ended up doing was putting all of it in a macaroni strainer and rinsed it for several minutes. It bubbled up a lil but but it was not soapy.

I know have it in front of a space heater trying to dry it as soon as posible to avoid molding. I'm sure this has happened to many, you think I'll die if I smoke it? I am broke as a joke so buying more is no option. Please tell me I'll be able to salvage it. Thanks.
 
You can try to smoke it, but there's a good chance that the bud lost a great deal of it's resin content. Bubble hash is made in a similar way- cold water extraction.


I doubt it's useless, but I seriously doubt it's at full potency.
 
This has happened to me before, but not an entire half. (ouch!)

It will most likely have lost alot if not most of its potency. It may still have some effect but it will not be the same buds you once knew :\
 
You did the right thing by washing the bud.

THC is not water soluble, so if it was done gently, bud should be good as new.
 
Well it finally dried so I experimented with a joint half of the washed weed with the other previously ground. If it lost potency, it wasn't much. It was almost smooth. I have noticed a few strange body sensations but that's probably just in the mind.
 
Well, it turns out if I smoke enough I get high, but you guys were right about losing most of it's strength. Damn shame, it was good as dank. It also shrank alot, but it still tastes decent and it's apparenttly not toxic. Thanks for your information.
