Typed of weed leaves: Fan leaves, Sugar leaves and trimmings

In case you really want to test some weed leaves, I’ll suggest you go for the sugar leaves rather than fan leaves which will give you a better highness than that of the fan leaves. But why is it so? Are sugar leaves filled with sugar? Are all leaves different in a weed plant? Is a type of it dangerous? We will see all of these further in this article.

Sugar Leaves/Trimmings

Sugar leaves are the good pieces of stuff that you would consider choosing over fan leaves. You will find these leaves in near the buds, mostly the smaller ones.

These leaves are so-called because of the trichomes with which it is surrounded. It gives it a look as if sugar crystals surround it.

The fact that trichomes contain THC in it makes it a better choice. Its THC which takes you high, however, leaves contains a bit less THC than you usually find in the buds of a weed plant. You need to take in a good amount of it for smoking to get high.

Although In India these weed leaves have a very different purpose of serving on the days of holi, a part of recreational purpose these leaves are served to Lord Shiva on Shiv Ratri.

Trimmings is something which is trimmed off a plant, and these leaves are also trimmed off a plant. The most effective part of leaves is those who are near the bud. Both buds and the trimmings are full of trichomes, and both of these are totally good for smoking purpose.

Fan Leaves

The structure and appearance of these leaves is what makes it most popular in this industry. Anyone who wants to represent weed, they use logos and illustration of these leaves. So even if it lacks in recreational property, yet it has some importance. These leaves are the most noticeable thing on the plant; it’s green and grows far from the buds. It does not have any high potency, but people take it for fun purpose. These leaves can grow farther away from the buds and are large. These leaves are the one which contains chlorophyll and soaks up light for the plant to make food for them.

So rather than soaking in a huge amount of fan leaves, better leave it and go for some trimmings as soaking in a huge amount would cause you more health issue than taking you high.

It’s same to make edibles from leaves as making in buds. The only thing to keep in mind is, you need to take more amount of leaves than you would have taken buds.

In case you want to make Hash, be careful while using sugar leaves and trims, as these two things together can wear you away. Mostly trims are used by most commercial growers to make Hash. Try making bubble Hash rather than using concentrate solvents to make the same.

Best Time to Eat Leaves

As we now know that THC is the most important factor for getting you high, but did you know that it is produced only in a certain period of plant’s life cycle. Many believe that curing is good before smoking weed.

As soon as the plant reaches its maturity, it’s harvested by farmers; first, they allow these plants to get dry. Once these are dry enough, it is then to be stored in an airtight container so that it can sit and cure.

Keeping cannabis in an airtight container mellows out its odour and lessens its harshness on the throat while smoking. After they are cured, the product will give you the most of THC maintaining the smell and taste.

In case you didn’t cure these buds and trims, most probably you will face a lot of harsh taste and sore throat. However, you will still feel high in that case. But if you plucked these leaves before it reaches its maturity, i.e. in its vegetative state, its most likely give you no results, as the trichomes which generally grows in the flowering state haven’t yet reached. So keeping a bit of patience can give you a good result.

So now we reached the end of this article. And I guess, you now understand everything that s necessary for you before you think of trying some leaves of weed plants.

Cure it before you start smoking it, harvest or trim after you find the plant has reached full maturity and better go for the leaves which are near that of buds, which contains more trichomes than that of fan leaves.
