Ubiquitous reply that I'm surprised hasn't popped up yet...:
Send some this way for testing!?

You know, I could have done without the mention of homemade brownies. Keep those words to yourself ?
Of course, there might be a small publication bias in the fact that anyone who tried it and died is unlikely to post in the thread.
Yes. It's normal. It's an understandable concern others have inquired about several times previously. Mine looked exactly the same. Smokes beautifully.
That is a fair point, sir. But as with any good science, I will choose to bend the results to my desired outcome, regardless of any identified flaws in the observations.
Had another bowls worth of the Blackpool @BROBS mentioned earlier. 'Bouta blaze the glaze right offit?

Well that looks pretty much identical to whats going on with my Kingsbridge. Feeling much more comfortable now. Although, while not dead, you two are pretty fuckin weird....
My $0.02 guess would be that the white stuff is crystallization of the various sugar solutions and essential oils applied by Germain's, which I've read (and you can kind of smell) is an alcohol based solution. Thus, the alcohol evaporates and the various goodies are left behind on the leaves.
They seemed perfectly normal to me before they started smoking Ennerdale.
I think the spots on the mylar is your big clue that this is organic growth, not crystals of whatever, which is not going to spring out of plastic. Could be mold, could be bacteria. Is it bad to smoke? I dunno.
I just think microbiologists on this forum are way too quick to come to a conclusion based on photos taken from squint level distance. That said, I'm not sure if they can make a proper ID from magnified pictures either.
I has the same thought, thats why I mentioned it in the OP. But that bag @BROBS just opened is a dead ringer for mine as well. ?
Those spots are interesting--I've seen them and wondered if it weren't plume or mold or leprosy or just some precipitate of the preservatives, flavorings, etc. Some on one end say that it's always some kind of mold, others say it can't hurt you. Some say put it in a jar and come back to it and see if it grows, but mold and bacteria can go dormant.
I find that it always seems nice to come here for reassurance, but ultimately OP is always in the bind-- either you don't care about your health so you should smoke it, or you do and so why smoke at all? But I don't have a recommendation. That's where I get mentally, before leaving it in the jar anyways, just to wait and see.

Being the civic-minded martyr that I am I will take all these nuisance-to-public-health bags off anyone’s hands for $25 per bag. I will then incinerate the contents in my specialized sanitation chamber so you won’t have to worry about anyone getting sick.
Yes.
But then again, what if it IS mold?
