Is it safe to make edibles from questionable buds?

When I say "questionable", I mean buds that might have a bit of PM - just starting.

I know that I do not want to smoke it
but what are thoughts on decarbing and extracting the THC for edibles - using coconut oil.

Decarbing should kill all microbes.

I use it for edibles. I get bud mold and p.mildew outside and I trim it off when I cut, but I’m sure I miss some. Plus I don’t wash it in h2o2 like I probably should, so I consume at least some. How long have you been into weed? I’m sure over the years we all have gotten weed that came from plants with those issues. I personally don’t notice problems from molds or mildews, but always best to limit your exposure. It might be a different story if you have people with compromised immune systems using the finished product.

For that matter I have PM on one of my outside plants right now. It’s the only one not getting hit by bud rot, just PM, so it’s getting cut last. I don’t really like the taste of the outside weed that much, but I’ll smoke a bit of all of them to see how they taste as they’re all new varieties to me.

Yes - that is my thinking as well.
As I understand, PM or mold is a problem when live spores enter the lungs and begin to reproduce.
But, PM does not create chemicals that poison you.
