I still feel the issue is un-answered... I still see no answer on what exactly it is?
and all the chemicles that get you high start off as thc or are produced in the trichomes with the thc. Even when the plant is very young it still produces trichomes, just not as much and without the stalks... they havent swelled up yet.
Some strains have so little trichome production it doesnt even really get you high... and then you have hemp.
I have not really looked into this subject but I can tell you now if you get high off of it... there is THC in the plant. In order to have any cbn,cbl,cba, cannibinoids you must have trichomes.
Trichomes work like a solar power plant, it uses the energy of light to produce all the psycho-active chemicles. If there is trichomes there is always THC.
There is around 400-500 chemicles in a cannabis plant all together, but only a select handful are psychoactive, (gets you high).
So if your smoking some pot that has no thc in it and it makes you high... excuse my language but FUCK THAT.
You dont know whats in there and I don't care what anyone tells you I would not smoke it... I prefer to know what the hell im smoking in the first place.
