With a spring those would be perfect.

You can trim has dried marijuana.

That is not easy, it will be stick resin, resistance is quite large, very heavy.
I'll stick with my Fiskars

The Fiskars scissors and other like them have a small spring that helps alleviate hand fatigue after hours of pruning/trimming/manicuring. The ones you have pictured are small, light and agile, but without a spring, your hand will cramp after an hour or so. I like the Fiskars because they are lightweight, springy, easy to clean and have comfy handles and a lock mechanism. But if you only have a small amount to manicure, the scissors you have will work just fine

Fiskars are the shit but you do have to clean them every so often throughout the trim or the spring becomes too weak to counter the sticky icky. (Might be what OP meant by "That is not easy, it will be stick resin, resistance is quite large, very heavy.") Not that i"m complaining though... in my opinion they are pretty effective. A razor blade cleans up quickly, all scissor hash goes right into the trimmer's bowl. 
a little isopropyl after that and the stick is gone for a while.
Honestly I do get tired of having to clean them so often though, I wish the spring was just a little stronger. Fiskars are the best I've tried for hand powered but I'd like to get some kind of electric scissors at this point.

@AltarNation I posted this after you commented; you may find it interesting...
I absolutely wouldn't get by without my Fiskars. They seem to be ergonomically made specifically for us who harvest cannabis
Another senior member on the site (sorry, forget which one of you!) told me he uses several pairs, and when one gets sticky, he sits them in a glass with iso. He cycles between the scissors with a clean pair each time, then evaporates the ISO
I've adopted that model.

Aye... not a bad idea. I do have two pair, and I think it was my original intention to rotate (or have a friend help) but I'd lose my head if it weren't attached so at any given time when I go to trim I tend to be lucky and find one pair, lol. I MIGHT be able to find both right now though if I try hard enough... I know I saw one in the veg closet... lol.
I have 4 pairs of them and when trimming, 3 are in a glass of ISO - the sticky comes off really easily when you soak them for 15 minutes or so.@AltarNation I posted this after you commented; you may find it interesting...

Thanks for speaking up North... it's possible that it was you I picked that trick off of; I just can't remember due to the number of tricks I learn on here. It sometimes makes it hard to give credit where do, but I always try to.

I bought my Fiskars online, but recently I saw them at Home Depot for $13 in the 'seasonal'/gardening section.

I agree with you totally, I have an auto shop and over the course of years we have random engine/vehicle parts around here, and I upgraded my fiskars with a tighter spring, BUT now I notice the opposing muscles are getting sore after trimming... too strong of a spring, course after hours and hours and hours of trimming, even my ass is sore, so what do I expect? I've always said the same thing, trimming is my very LEAST favorite part of growing herb, in fact I have two last plants in my drying shed that have been there for like nine months.... i'm a lil ashamed to admit that actually, but it's the truth. Quite wasteful, but in my defense the plants were new strains that didn't live up to expectations...Fiskars are the shit but you do have to clean them every so often throughout the trim or the spring becomes too weak to counter the sticky icky.
