The small, trichome-covered leaves that grow within and around cannabis buds. Named for their sugary appearance due to dense trichome coverage. Traditionally trimmed off for aesthetics but rich in cannabinoids and valuable for extraction.

The Resinator origin story involves recovering value from sugar leaf that growers were throwing away or giving away. This waste material is now recognized as valuable feedstock for hash and extract production.
