I tend to trim as much leaf material as possible without destroying my buds. I like them to be whole yet very well trimmed. It's obviously preference but I feel leaf material is much better to be used in a tincture or hash oil. plus those little leaves have the highest concentration of cannabinoids aside from bud so it adds to the potency and flavor.

No not really, organic nutes makes no difference, smoke a bowl of just leaves and compare to a bowl of just bud.

Maybe I just got lucky who know, but it makes sense right?

When smoked, the leafy material of cannabis plants contains more cancer-causing carcinogens than tobacco. The cannabis BUD material has almost none. I remove as much leaf material as possible. If you save the trim for hash or oil making purposes then there is no reason to have leaves on your bud.

I like to leave some leaf on the buds when I trim them. Then i pick each bud clean of leaves later on, right before I smoke it. I like to have leaves to make kief, as I go, instead of all at once.

Well I pretty much trim all the big ones then the small ones. A lot of the time the leaves have a lot of THC on them so I will leave those on. Just trim till it looks "nice"

I am equally as skeptical about this as the guy above me. Whatever nutrients and/or carcinogenic substances that exists in the leaf must have also entered the buds considering they both are connected to the main stem and absord the same things. Unless you are suggesting that these carcinogens orginate within the leaves. Maybe just by virtue of what the leaves are made of. Are you suggesting that?
