In all reality it did no permanent damage since I blasted it with an air can after this shot but it had me worried. Every little spec you see here is a trichome off of the cannabis plant. Also referred to as "kief" this is the part of the plant that contains almost all of the psychoactive ingredient THC.
If you would like to see the time-lapse I recorded I am about to post it onto Dtube. I filled a huge jar with cannabis buds from a machine trimmer in about 30 seconds after being sped up 7500x's haha. It looks pretty sweet. Either way,
thanks for reading,
Josh.
