And to think you call me ignorant.
Spores are an asexual method of reproduction in plants. What this means is that spores contain both the male and female reproductive organs, so plants with spores can then reproduce on their own. Spores are what plants that to not produce seeds produce for reproduction, plant spores are reproductive organs that are both male and female and drop from plants and or are carried by the wind and begin new plants.
THC is created in glandular trichome heads. They are trichome heads, not spores.
There are Bulbous trichomes, also called peltate trichomes which are the smallest type of trichomes. They appear to not have a stalk and instead just be a round head on the epidermal layer of the plants, but they do have very short stalks that are actually sunk down into the epidermis. There are Capitate-Sessile trichomes, They are called capitate because that means having a globular-shaped head. There are Capitate-Stalked trichomes, where cannabinoids are most abundant and they consists of a tier of secretory disc cells subtending a large non-cellular secretory cavity. There are also trichome stalks, trichomes that do not create round heads. The pointed hairs are called lithocyst cells. They contain cystolyths (calcium carbonate crystals). Not so much as one single one of them is a plant spore ... not one single one of them. Cannabis plants do not produce spores. Cannabis plants reproduce by making seeds. Cannabis plants do not reproduce by making spores.
Plant spores are reproductive organs that are both male and female and are created by plants that do not produce seeds .... trichomes are not reproductive organs, trichomes are not, even by the very broadest use of the term spores, spores.
