Better leaves than buds

Have you ever found a strain that you'd rather smoke/vape as leaves and foliage rather than buds ? If so which one why and hat did you do about it ? I ask because I have found one such plant I think.

You mean like resinous leafy bracts or leaves in veg

What makes them better than the buds? What’s the variety? There’s technology out there that makes plants produce water soluble cannabinoids within the leaf tissue so you don’t have to flower them. Hope they haven’t escaped their laboratory and ended up in your tent.

The effects are not the same. The buds are sedative the leaves on the other hand have a gentle moodlifting eefect that keeps me going the whole night. I thought it could just be the concentration of cannabinoids so I tried vaping a super small amount of buds to see if I could get the same effects but no, the effects are different.

So back in the day I would pinch tops dry and smoke , it was probably Columbian but it gave me the most awesome high. It never did mature buds that's the best I got. So what is this strain? tell us more. I've smoked plenty of leaves back then

Have you tried harvesting the buds earlier? Before the resin gets cloudy? I’ve had good ones I couldn’t smoke before work if I left them too long but harvested early were good daytime smoke.

When we were young we'd try to obtain seed from any of the growers in the valley who were known to produce good product.
One guy was particularly tight with his stock and his seeds were almost impossible to get. Also he was a particularly obnoxious type who would brag about the quality of his over all others.
One time I did manage to get a few of his seeds, I can't even recall how, but probably in a little flower that had been bought or gifted.
All of the progeny were hermy, and not just a bit, but fully. Skinny straggly plants, not at all impressive.
The flower was not good smoke either, just crappy, but in a time of desperation I tried to smoke the veg leaves that had died on the plant. 💥
They tasted of good black hash and effect was strong and immediate. Hard to have a second cone. I collected all of the available leaves to keep and was able to compare to to quality bud at various times. Somehow these shitty brown leaves won every time.

there are still people who remind me of this sometimes and say that was some of the best stuff they've ever encountered forty years later. Bizarre
