Trichomes are outgrowths from epidermis cells on leaves, buds, and stems. Epidermal cells are single-layered and make up the outermost layer of the cells on the primary plant body. Trichomes are mushroom shaped, with a slender stalk and a round balloon like head. The most potent part of this structure is at the base of the head, which also happens to be the most brittle and can break off easily. This is why delicate handling of the medicine is crucial. As the trichomes form they are pumped full of cannabinoids, terpenoids, terpenes, and other compounds. These compounds interact with each other in a synergistic fashion to give the user the end result. Pretty much all of the medicine is found in the trichomes, while some beneficial water soluble compounds can be found within other plant tissues. There are more than 460 known compounds in cannabis. Of these compounds, sixty six cannabinoids have been discovered already and there could still be more to be found. The most popular misconception is that more THC equals a better high. This is not true, in fact some users prefer a higher concentration of other terpenoids or cannabinoids such as, cannabidiol (CBD), which produces a more sedative effect and reduces anxiety caused by THC, or Tetrahydrocannabivarian (THCV), which is a three-carbon molecule that replaces THC’s five-carbon chain. THCV is associated with pungent smelling cannabis varieties found in warmer climates such as; Southeast and Central Asia, as well as Africa.
