Sometimes called “crystal” or “pollen,” kief is a powder comprised of trichomes (resin glands) of the cannabis plant. Kief is a nickname that refers to the bulbous part of glandular trichomes. Under close inspection you can find these covering cannabis plants as a defence mechanism, essentially turning them into unpleasant snacks for animals and pests.
High quality bud, sometimes called “craft” cannabis, is where trichomes really shine. Literally! Flower that’s been grown in perfect conditions will be covered in a sticky, shiny, hairy exterior. These trichomes are in peak performance. Once the flower has been cured, these resin producers tend to fall off the buds like dust, but just the bulbous part of the trichome on the end.
The reason people love to save all their kief, or brag about an especially well coated strain they’re smoking, is because those trichomes are where the majority of the THC is being made. It’s worth cleaning your grinder out once in a while and setting aside the kief you collect out of it for a rainy day. Or if you have the patience to wait for a few rainy days, you may collect enough to make yourself some homemade hash!
