The Cannabis Plant Torn Apart
Why I Would Post, This I Have No Idea
Weed:
The Leaves of the female cannbis plant. The Avarge THC percent per sqared inch is around 3-5%.
Skunk:
The commonly used slang for the flowers (buds) of the famale cannabis plant. The original accurate definition of skunk is refering the the strain of sativia cannabis however the slang can be used for any strain of cannabis. The THC in this case can range from 10% to, in some cases up to 35%
Hashish:
Hashish is made from the resin extracted from a cannabis plant, the strength can vary from 0.15% up to 39% in the very best hash.
Stem:
The stem can be used in hashish creation or can be brewed into a potent tea.
THC:
