I saw that,
"107 Cannabis samples acquired from law
108 enforcement and manually assessed for trichome browning on a linear scale had a lower THCA
109 and increased cannabinolic acid (CBNA) content compared to cannabis samples with clear or
110 milky trichomes [3]. Reduced THC content in senescent trichomes glands was also reported by
111 Mahlberg and Kim [10]. There is currently a lack of prior reports describing trichome gland
112 phenotype in relationship to cannabis flower development in situ in cannabis."
That's another part about the potency issue. Which cannabinoids are we looking at peak potency for? Also synergistic blending of specific cannabinoids and entourage effect are other points. We aren't just looking for THC and CBD there's an entire plethora of chemicals that work together to be greater then the sum of their parts and so if you're looking for sleep vs pain relief at what point in time does that correlate to a trichome color if it does? There's so much more to learn it's almost overwhelming.
Cannabis is very complex. Anyway that was a really great rabbit hole to dive down this morning and kept me from being too shocked LOL thank you!!
Molecular Targets of the Phytocannabinoids-A Complex Picture

There is a study of the different cannabinoids found in cannabis there is alot and more is discovered the more studies is done. Each cannabinoid has a different effect on the human body (Endocannabinoid system). It's a complex relationship and studies is only in its infancy. Just think of it this way for each cannabinoid in cannabis there is a receptor in the human body to receive it and each one has a different function. For me cannabis is the most complex and interesting plant on earth.
