Title: Do crystals define how high?
Post by: southbeachid on January 27, 2013, 10:13 pm
Do the crystals on weed basically contribute to how high you get?
I have done minimal research on CBD and THC but by the recent strains I've tried. The ones that had almost no crystals, gave me no high. The ones with more, gave me more high.
What's going on here?

The 'crystals' are called trichomes. They are what hash is made out of. Their abundance can make for some great cannabis.  :)
They aren't the only factor contributing to the high you feel when smoking cannabis though.

Depending on when the cannabis is harvested the grower can control the type of high to some degree. He does this by gauging the appearance of the trichomes.

Giving the plant what it needs during flower allows it to produce an abundance of sticky, bloated, fat trichomes. Some strains produce them better then others.

The crystals are called Trichomes and they hold a lot of the plants THC. If there are a lot of trichomes then it's probably well grown weed, but different strains grow differently too so it depends i guess.

Trichomes is a more inclusive term than crystal or resin glands
