Wet weed in air tight container=mold? 1

So I got a few gs of weed and realize it might be slightly wet or maybe just sticky but it doesn't tear that easily so I'm not sure. It's probzbly been in an airtigt container for a weeek now being opened briefly here and there.
I also got a pretty bad cold last week and I was wondering if this weed might be moldy. It looks fine sort of but I do notice some small white dots here and there. Should I throw this weed out? Also if it was moldy would kief I got from it be bad too?
Thanks

Wet weed in an air tight container can lead to mold yes.
Mold can also be microscopic.
Just leave the lid cracked and turn the buds every once in a while.
Throw weed out? You crazy? I'm pretty sure we've all smoked some mold here and there.

I def don't want to throw it out but if it makes me sick I don't mind saying fuck it. It's been in air tight container for a week and it's hard to tell if it's moldy or not but the weed feels a little wet/sticky when I touch it so idk.

If it's still wet leave it in the open air for a few hours. Put it back in the jar but leave it cracked overnight Rotate/turn the buds once or twice a day. Shit just needs to breathe. Sounds like it wasn't properly cured.

How do you know if it picked up mold already though?

Get a microscope?
If it doesn't reek of mold you should probably be ok... just let that shit air out.
I've been toking for like 20 years and I've never gotten sick from it. I'm fairly certain I've smoked moldy bud on numerous occasions. Maybe I was lucky.. but I think mold is probably far more common than we think.
You probably inhale the same mold spores walking around outside

If you are really concerned about mold, bake it in the oven at 300 for 10-15 minutes. That should eliminate some of the more common molds. It will also effect the product and it wont be cured properly.. but yeah.
If you don't smell it, I don't suspect you have a major problem. Mold on bud will effect the smell.
OH... if you have a black light.. look at it under that. Mold will be a very distinctive green color under blacklight.

Is it bud you grew and you're drying/curing it or did you just buy it? Can you post pics?
