The medicinal use of the plant Cannabis sativa has potential therapeutic benefits as an analgesic drug and in the treatment of a variety of diseases. The active ingredients are produced in small glands (trichomes) on the surface of Cannabis floral tissues. Marijuana strains have been bred for high levels of cannabinoid compounds in the trichomes, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD). Tilray is a Licensed Producer of medical marijuana under Health Canada regulations, providing dried cannabis for patients across Canada who have the appropriate medical documentation. Tilray grows the medicinal marijuana strains in growth rooms under carefully controlled conditions, harvests and dries the flowering plants, and tests the cannabinoid content of their product. Currently, Tilray is timing their harvests based on a weekly schedule. The objective of this study is to investigate the trichome ripening of medical marijuana plants grown in the Tilray facility. The goal is to correlate cannabinoid content and visual characteristics of trichomes, including the appearance of the trichomes under a hand-held ultraviolet light. This will permit Tilray to adjust their harvest schedules to optimize the production of active ingredients in their product.

植物大麻的药用用途具有作为镇痛药的潜在治疗益处，并且在治疗中具有潜在的治疗益处。 治疗各种疾病。活性成分由皮肤上的小腺体（毛状体）产生 大麻花组织的表面。大麻品种已经培育高水平的大麻素化合物 在毛状体中，如四氢大麻酚（THC）或大麻二酚（CBD）。Tilray是一家特许生产商， 加拿大卫生部规定的医用大麻，为加拿大各地的患者提供干燥大麻， 有适当的医疗文件。Tilray在生长室里种植药用大麻品种 在精心控制的条件下，收获并干燥开花植物，并测试大麻素含量 他们的产品。目前，Tilray正在根据每周的时间表安排他们的收获时间。的目的 研究是调查在Tilray设施中生长的医用大麻植物的毛状体成熟。目标 是将大麻素含量和毛状体的视觉特征，包括毛状体的外观， 毛状体在手持紫外线灯下。这将允许Tilray调整他们的收获时间表， 优化产品中活性成分的生产。
