If  you hear of shops that buy products WITH trichomes, pls. post here or Facebk or LTE to RG, EW or Guest Viewpoint. Boycott the rest and spread the word! Wont be fooled again?
Someone do a survey: maybe RG can in new periodic pub Cannabis Culture? Comments can be made on Leafly.com where local products, stores listed, strains described: ask them.

Agree with concerns about missing trichomes. I have been listening to presentations on GreenFlowerMedia.com for a year+. One mentioned that different terpenes are available in trichomes not found in drastically trimmed bud. Synergy effect of whole plant vs parts is called Entourage Effect. Consumers need to bring this up every time they make a purchase from a cannabis store. It can be more spendy making tincture using whole flower?

Clerks need to convey concerns to owners. When buying tinctures ask if whole flowers used, esp. vital when using cannabis for med application. Lack of trichomes no doubt affects mind elevating experience too?
