Food for thought...
according to Mel Frank and "Marijuana Grower's Insider's Guide".....
[quoted without permission]
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?
