skunk, what you just said does not jive with current research. according to the link i sent you:

The resin spheres contain the THC. It is not contained in the leaf or floral bract. After the resin spheres are dissolved in solvent or dislodged by electrostatic attraction, and a microscopic examination of the leaf or floral bract has revealed that only the glandular trichomes' stalks remain, no effect will be felt after smoking the dried plant material from which the resin spheres have been removed.

which is why you need UVB light during flowering:

If the UVB photon is missing from the light stream(a), or the intensity as expressed in µW/cm2 falls below a certain level(b), the phytochemical process will not be completely energized with only UVA photons which are more penetrating but less energetic, and the harvested resin spheres will have mostly precursor compounds and not fully realized THC(c).

so leaves do not have cannabinoids. if you feel high it is the trics on the leaves giving you a little hit of THC.

so, i understand that males produce 'some' trics. and theTHC in them is just as potent as their female siblings of the same mother/father. they just hardly have any trics so they're not much good for a high. but, if you consider the fact that the precursors NEED UVB light to mature to THC, then the best time to try to smoke anything off a male is around the same time you would harvest the females: late in the year when UVB light is at it's highest, due to the position of the sun.
