This natural energy provides vital fuel for the cannabis plant and helps it to thrive.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"how-many-leaves-does-marijuana-have\">\n\tHow many leaves does marijuana have? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of leaves and the number of points on each leaf of a marijuana plant depends on the type of cannabis. For example, Indicas are a 7 leaf plant while Sativas are&nbsp; a 9 leaf plant. The marijuana leaf count on the less widely known Ruderalis plant is 5 leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"types-of-weed-plant-leaves\">\n\tTypes of weed plant leaves <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two major types of pot leaves: fan leaves and sugar leaves. The fan leaves are the large leaves that contain very little trichomes. Differences in fan leaf size and width can indicate whether a plant is of the sativa, indica, or ruderalis variety. The sugar leaves are the small, trichome-covered leaves that surround the flower clusters and are typically trimmed off the plant after it has been harvested and dried.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Close-Up-Visualization%40100x-100.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_1217\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Close-Up-Visualization%40100x-100.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"sativa vs indica leaves\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Weedmaps<\/cite><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_1217\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Close-Up-Visualization%40100x-100.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"sativa vs indica leaves\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The leaves of the three types of cannabis, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis, can be distinguished as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Sativa: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elongated and pointy in appearance, with nine points.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Indica:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Broad and fan-like in appearance with seven points.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Ruderalis: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short and bushy in appearance.

Some pot leaves are treated with pesticidal chemicals including fertilizer, which means that you should avoid smoking them. Organic cannabis would be the preferred option if you want to smoke pot leaves. All you need to do is trim and dry your pot leaves to smoke them. But don't expect the same kind of high that you'll get with the bud as pot leaves contain lower levels of THC.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"what-can-you-do-with-pot-leaves\">\n\tWhat can you do with pot leaves? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pot leaves, if clean and\/or organic, are excellent for juicing as they are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, terpenes and cannabinoids. Omega fatty acids, fiber and flavonoids are also present in pot leaves, which makes them a highly nutritious ingredient in your morning green juice. Keep your pot leaves in their raw form and toss them into the blender with your favorite vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, you can make cannabis leaf butter (also called cannabutter) with your pot leaves, notably sugar leaves which contain higher levels of trichomes. Alternatively, infuse your pot leaves into a healthy oil or salad dressing, such as an olive oil vinaigrette. You can even toss your pot leaves with lettuce into a salad or casserole. Finally, try brewing a cup of cannabis leaf tea for the ultimate relaxing experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most recognizable part of the cannabis plant and the primary location of photosynthesis and transpiration.&nbsp; Before during and curing my weed, I remove the leaves.
