DescriptionMarijuana-Cannabis-Weed-Bud-Gram.jpg |
A dried flower bud of the Cannabis plant. The cannabis' flowers contain many different psychoactive compounds that are used for recreational or medicinal purposes. The plant goes by many different names: marijuana, pot, weed, dope, Mary Jane, etc. The bud is usually either crumbled up and smoked or mixed with food into an edible. This picture shows a gram of bud, roughly the size of a human thumb, which would be bought in a "dime bag". The cannabis pictured would likely be classified as low grade sinsemillia (Spanish for "without seeds"), characteristic of what would have been sold on the black market prior to 2010s legalization of Cannabis across wide swaths of the United States of America, along with increased hemp production after the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. Colloquially, this sample would have been known as "beasters" and was likely smuggled into the United States via British Columbia through organized criminal activity. This activity largely no longer takes place and "beasters" are all but extinct. The red "hairs" are known as pistils, and are the part of the female cannabis reproductive system. Each pistil is covered in sticky trichromes in order to facilitate finding a single grain of wind-blown male pollen to pollinate the female cannabis plant and begin producing seeds. The large amount of visible "red hairs" indicates this particular sample was likely pulled from the ground several weeks prior to ideal harvest date, when the pistils recede into the empty seed pod and the plant begins producing large amounts of various cannabinoids (and often visible resin) depending on specific strain genetics. The practice of pulling plants early was largely exclusive to the black market and was done as most of the weight of the cannabis flower is produced early, however the greatest proportion of cannabinoids are produced late in the flowering cycle; due to a lack of standardized testing levels in the black market, this unscrupulous behavior was quite common and led to the slang label of "beasters" for black market early-pulled low potency cannabis. |
