Found these little fuckers on two clone cuttings taken from Glenda. Immediately bagged and tossed both of them. They were on a leaf stem on both, one leaf had turned yellow. Careful inspection of all plants in the same space found no more. What are they and how fucked am I?

While I respect Creepy_Steve, BTi goes after leaf CHEWERS, not leaf SUCKERS... get some Dr. Zymes or Spinosad if you can (I know there's controversy in Canada about Spinosad but I think it's the only country in the world that does not recognize it as being organic).... Again, either of these can be used no matter what stage your plant is in - and can be used up to the day of harvest without any ill effects/tastes being transferred to your smoke....

Control of aphids on tomato plants Aphid removal by hand or a strong water spray comes first. Knock the Aphids you can see into a bucket of soapy water to kill them. For clinical treatment, spray the Tomatoes with dish soap water or a Neem Oil solution. This spray will reach into smaller areas where your hands or water can’t reach.

The problem is you are in flowers, so what you spray on will def be in you smoke... quickly biodegrable options are best but also probably the least effective stuff. insecticidal soap is an option.. but try not to mist the buds, lol not easy but still say it. pyrethrin-based concentrate or spray kills on contact only and breaksdown fairly fast -- "On potato and tomato leaves, less than 3% remained after 5 days". -- http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/pyrethrins.html predatory bugs! go the natural route.. Looks like thrips early stage -- https://entomology.k-state.edu/images/cotton-insects/thrips.jpg but i'm not the best at identifying bugs.. not sure how discretionary the predatory bugs are, lol. if tehy have larvea in soil, get some BTi (been used on our food crops for decades, it's safe). some sticky traps too. the more stages of life cycle you are attacking the better.

They're probably aphids... but it really doesn't matter what they are, they're some sort of insect that like sucking on the plant leaves and you need to get rid of them. Grab yourself some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad... both are organic, both can be used straight through harvest if needed and both will kill not only the adults but the eggs and larvae of thrips, spider mites, aphids, white flies... Dr. Zymes is also a fungicide... Get on it... for every one you can see there are ??? many more... Good luck!
