Do Pistils contain a high thc content?

[MrWizard]

Silly question, prob, but do Pistils contain a high thc content?

Is there any value in isolating the pistils like they do with Saffron?

[the_bot]

from what ive read, pistils (the white hairs that turn orange) are reproductive organs to capture pollen and contain negligible or no amount of trichomes or thc.

there are a couple threads in reddit about people smoking pistil joints and regretting it

Correct they are a part of the sex organ to collect and get pollen to make the seed. Just like the silk on corn.

no pistols do not contain ThC they contain lead and powder

[HeadyBearAdventures]

You could put some THC in this pistol

[Carty]

Yup… plant sluts for sure… lol
And the amount of pistols exposed when pollen is dropped directly affects the amount of seeds you’ll harvest… so I do a preflower pollen drop when my autos have just thrown pistols making for 10-20 seeds at harvest…

Ok. So now BigMike55 is confused.

I thought the trichomes contain all the good stuff. THC CBD etc.

Plus what’s in the calyx. But are you saying then that the trichomes are not responsible for the high? If that’s the case, then why do we get high from the kief that is collected? That is like ALL trichomes.

There are zero trichomes on the PISTILS, but the calyx (the outside of the Bract) contains trichomes.

reminds me of when i was 13 smoking banana peels and catnip

[the_bot]

nope, thats not what she is saying - she is responding to me saying “correct (the pistils) are a part of the sex organ…” confirming there is no thc in them or trichomes.

Thank you for clarifying that for Big Mike.

That is a great illustration to help the OP and show what I was saying to @MrWizard

I don’t believe there is a calyx outside of the bract. And, the two “hairs” are called stigmas.

The entire unit, stigmas, bracts and all, is called the pistil or flower. There is one pistil per flower but in this case, of being wind pollinated, it is all inclusive.

I encourage all to read this article

Yes the pistil will get you high, the stamens won’t, the bracts will and the calyx NO.
