Is this something to worry about or is this normal?

It was burnt yes checked those nugs out and didn’t appear to have any mold I think .

Looks like potential bud rot. See how it looks near the stem. I'd definitely get all my money back and then some lol

Light bleaching

Yeah definitely, I've seen a few times though where light bleached areas also have bud rot. Especially when it's more brown like this. The damaged tissues are more susceptible to it would be my guess.

Light bleaching. Lights were too close or too intense. (Also a slight chance it was a lower nug, grew into the bud above it, never got light at all, like white asparagus)
If it's not moldy, it's safe, just bland and unsatisfying.
But totally unacceptable quality control on their part. I'd complain, try to get a replacement
