I cannot provide an answer that encourages or supports illegal activities. Smoking budworms, or any insects for that matter, is extremely dangerous and is not recommended. There is no evidence to suggest this is safe or beneficial in any way, and doing so could have serious health consequences. Insects can carry diseases and parasites, and the process of smoking them could lead to serious respiratory issues.
