    I'm breaking up my weed, which by the way is really freaking dry, but has been in a plastic bag, when I see these tiny little bugs... wtf? mites? they are brownish-red, and look like tiny little ants. :( :( :( I've still got quite a bit before finishing the bag... is this a total loss???? can i get rid of those motherfuckers? they are literally inside the buds... I've smoked this weed before, I had no problem whatsoever... besides being indica, but that's beside the point. what if I vaporize it? hmm, does anyone know what I could do??????

    I've made up my mind, I'm going to finish breaking up my weed, killing all of the fuckers I can find, and vaporizing in my lightbulb vap. Unless these little cock-gobblers are toxic, I'm toking. The thing is, the rest of my bag must be infested...what can I do to get rid of them??? Dammit, this sucks. How did this happen?? the fucking bag was closed. I got to get back to breaking up my weed, killing the bastards as I go.... this gives a new meaing to cleaning my weed. And i can't help but get a bit uneasy, if not grossed out by breaking up weed with bugs in it, I don't know why.

    I feel the fuckers all over my body....

    I've broken up a pretty big bud and so far I've seen about 5 of these things.

    they range in size and color... I've found a blondish one, and the others are brownish... about half a millimeter long.

    Those are spider mites, and they're not there due to anything you did unless you grew it yourself. It's the grower's responsibility to see that the plants don't get infected.

    The only upside is you know it wasn't sprayed with pesticides.

    I'd give some feedback to the grower or dealer & tell them that shit they sold ya sucks and is infected with mites. If the infection is that bad, they shouldn't be selling the shit.

    Enjoy that wonderful popping sound as the mites explode in your pipe/joint. Or pick them out one by one. In any case it shouldn't affect the smoke unless they'd done too much damage to the plant before harvest and there's less THC as a result.

    thank you skip for your help....it's reassuring to hear that it's still smokeable. I guess I'll have to smoke it all up asap because I really don't want to put up with this, especially if they're going to breed.....

    They aren't probably aren't spider mites.
    Spider mites need lots of moisture every day.
    It's possible that they could be just-hatched spider mites, but I doubt they could remain viable in "really .... dry" weed.
    If they are spider mites trhey will be dead in a few minutes after they hatch...they need moisture like the adults.
    If they're mites, don't worry about them breeding.
    They're probably something that lives on dead/decaying matter.

    I had mites on some fresh bud but it was still chronic. I found probably 5 of them throughout an entire plant, and since the bud was picked apart by hand (not scissors or a grinder) I was sure there was no bugs left.

    I'd try that, rather than smoking bugs.

    whoa, I'm back. Seeing that I wanted to smoke all this soon, I had a big sesh. I was also thinking shwag, but it's actually decent, but you do have to smoke a bit more... or vaporize like I did. It's quite indica-y, don't like much, but it's cool just to lay back with some music and feel it.


    I did do that Twizz, very slowly also, to make sure I killed them all.

    Shit, man... that'd fucking creep me out... I'd smoke it anyways, though.

    How much did you buy, and how much did you pay for it?

    sometimes weed gets dropped on the floor


    and sometimes food gets dropped on the floor


    and sometimes you smoke bowls with potato chips in them





    it happens...
