I've smoked plenty strong male vegetation toppings. Depends on how much of a purist you are as to whether this is something you might be interested in.
Me . . . I'd wait until the plant needed water, then pinch/cut the very top vegetation clusters off/out, let them dry, then I'd smoke some, in a joint (for less harshness).
It's probable that a bunch of folks are gonna write "don't smoke it" and/or "you'll get a headache" but this has never been the case when I've needed the buzz, for over 40 years.
