- Resin itself, or an abundance of resin glands, is not a good indictator of
- potency. A mj variety may have copious amounts of resin and still be nearly
- worthless for smoking; another variety may have little apparent resin, but it
- may be super-potent. This is because much of the resin is made up of inactive
- ingredients, and the resin might contain mostly inactive cannaboids. Also, the
- active cannaboids (THC,THCV, etc.) are only necessary in amounts small enough
- that they may not be major components in the resin. Surprisingly, the few
- scientific studies that have compared the concentration of resin glands or
- resin to potency have found that the concentration of resin glands was
- negatively correlated with the potency (in other words, the fact that a variety
- of mj is resinous or has a lot of resin glands has little to do with its
- potency) Experience connoissers actually may look for a non-resinous but very
- potent variety - who need cough inducing resin if it doesn't add to the high?
