White mold: How bad did I screw up?

So I read about the orange peel trick online, and like an idiot I kept the peel in a jar with about a half oz. in my refrigerator, not thinking about possible mold growth. It has stayed there for about a week and a half. Bud got super moist. So yesterday, after being up two days straight cracked out on vyvanse, writing a ten page paper and taking two poli sci essay tests totaling twelve handwritten pages, I figured it was time for some celebration. When I took out the bud, I noticed it had what looked like little crystals of white stuff on it, it actually looked kind of dank. Not all the but looked to have much white on it, but it was also a much darker green. Good judgment would have told me that kind of thing doesn't happen to weed that starts out as distinctly mids, but it didn't smell bad, and my cognitive functioning was shot to shit at that point, so I loaded my bowl and took a hit.

Not only did it taste rank, but the smoke was just unbearably harsh, and it gave me this weird cheesy taste in the back of my mouth that still won't quite go away. It absolutely singed my throat, but that's not even what I'm worried about. I realized quickly that my weed was infected with mold (which obviously I should have figured out earlier) and after doing a search on the kinds of mold that grow on weed I'm a little worried I may have seriously messed myself up. I feel really weird today, which likely has to do with staying up two days on amphetamines, but my throat hurts like a mofo, and I feel like my breathing is slightly impaired, but maybe that's paranoia from the information I found about weed mold on the internet. It may be nothing, but I'm still concerned. Are there any symptoms I should look out for or is this likely to pass in a few days?

dude wtf do you need orange peels in there for? i remember i bought some weed that the kid put orange peels in...i was sooo pissed the weed smelled smelled like a goddamn orange grove and the weed tasted like shit...leave your bud untainted the way its meant to be...p.s. vyvanse isn't an amphetamine its an amfetamine, lol.
 
pretty bad, but you'll be fine...and at least it was mids.

Yeah it was $85 an oz for pretty decent stuff actually. I'm just pissed at myself that I lost that much of it but more concerned about possible health effects.

Orange peels? Why man? why?

^Seriously. All orange peels do is promote mold growth.

Well I didn't come up with the idea, I just read about it and didn't think about mold. Until the mold started to grow it actually tasted and smoked fantastic, much better than before the peels were in there.

source to this orange peel thing?

i would like to know what made you try this


it's a cheap way to flavor shitty (or just harsh) bud.

most people leave just a piece of an orange, lemon, lime, banana etc. peel in their bag overnight, or for maybe 3 days at the most. it adds a nice, fruity/citrus flavor to the smoke-- especially through any kind of water-bong.


some people also use peels as a way to rehydrate their buds, which can help cause a slower burn if it's personal or it'll add just a liiiiiiittle bit of extra weight if it's profit... fruit peels aren't the best way to go about re-wetting your stash, though, because there is a pretty decent chance that you'll contaminate it with mold or some kind of fungus.
 
orange peels are awesome if your bud gets really dry and crumbly. you don't need a source, just dry a bud out, then put it in a zip lock with some orange peels for a couple of hours. it will work. I prefer to use bread though.
 
^^^what he said. Use fresh orange peels only to freshen up dried bud. And they should be left in with the bud no longer than an hour. Any longer and you run the risk of mold as the orange peels begin to decompose.
 
i dont think you have to be to concerned, just dont smoke that stuff anymore. if youre still having unuasually bad coughs or other unusual sympsoms within the next few days, just go to a doc and tell him whats up. dont hesitate to tell him the whole story, or he wont be able to help you.
and please remember: im no doc, thats no professional advice.

I think what you're feeling is definitely the amphetamine comedown. It's not unheard of for infectious fungi to secrete toxins. But I think you'd have more acute, life threatening symptoms if you'd consumed a significant amount of one.

I wouldn't smoke any more of that weed, in any event. Damn shame, but be safe.
