Can You Smoke Wet Weed?

“Wet weed” might mean two things: one being weed that is literally wet (with water), and the other being weed that has been laced with PCP. Unscrupulous dealers might add PCP to low quality marijuana and sell it at a higher cost. Some have been known to lace their clients’ weed as a prank. At low doses, PCP can have similar effects to strong marijuana.

Smoking weed laced with PCP has been known to trigger psychosis. PCP is a hallucinatory drug that can cause visual and auditory hallucinations. The drug can also make the user feel disassociated with reality. Low doses can lead to relaxation, numbness, and euphoria.

It can also cause concentration problems, slurred speech, a lack of coordination, unexpected behaviour, or the inability to judge one’s own strength, speed, or invulnerability. A higher dose may cause hallucinations, high blood pressure, breathing problems, or increased body temperature, as well as feelings of anxiety, panic, or worry. PCP use may also lead to violent behaviour, seizures, or comas, according to this review from The California Journal of Emergency Medicine.

To avoid getting weed laced with PCP (or other potentially harmful substances), be sure to get your bud from a trusted source. A comprehensive list of Canada’s authorized distributors, visit our, licensed marijuana producers directory.

Let’s turn to the other definition of “wet weed.” Accidentally getting some water in with your weed is a common occurrence. But is that weed safe to smoke? That depends on how long the weed was stored in wet conditions. The dampness can lead to mould growth, and smoking mouldy weed can be very dangerous.

Mould releases toxins that can cause infections or provoke allergic reactions. Smoking something mouldy can cause chest pain, fever, dizziness, nosebleeds, coughing, loss of coordination, or just a general sense of feeling unwell. If you think you may have been exposed to mould and you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consult your doctor. People who already have compromised immune systems are especially at risk and should avoid smoking mouldy weed at all cost.

So, if you’re planning on smoking some wet weed, be sure to check for signs of mould before you do so. First, check to make sure that the weed doesn’t smell strange. Mouldy weed might smell very sweet, or smell like freshly cut grass, or just smell “off.” Then, do a visual inspection for signs of mould. The mould may look like little white dots, white powder, or greyish green fuzz. If you find any mould, throw away that weed and any other weed that it has touched.

If your weed is not mouldy, you may choose to smoke it. Unfortunately, it will not be as flavourful or as easy to smoke as usual. You may want to dry it out again before smoking. Most people agree that air-drying works better than the oven or the microwave, but some people try those methods to dry their weed more quickly.
