Not everyone agrees on the difference between pollen and resin. Some claim that these are two names for the same product, others that the name depends on the extraction technique (with a sieve for the pollen, with a few minutes of heating for the resin). What must be remembered is that the effects and modes of use of pollen and resin are the same. In both cases, it is moreover a extracting trichomes from female cannabis flowers. In general, the CBD pollen has powdery texture and fairly light color pulling on the young, the green, the brown or the red according to the varieties. Due to its finesse, it lets less trichomes and plant debris through. It is therefore easier to crumble et less sticky than a resin. It is sometimes found in everyday language under the names of kif, kief or skuff. It has nothing to do with the pollen produced by male plants which are visited by bees during pollination. La CBD resin meanwhile has a soft and sticky texture as well as a dark (brown, burgundy or almost black depending on the variety). This texture is due to the concentration of trichomes, pressed together and slightly heated to obtain a homogeneous paste. This is commonly referred to as hash or hashish. Its CBD concentration is generally higher.
