Is this a picture of tetrahydrocannabinol molecules?

Can anyone clarify this? I saw it on a cannabinoid powerpoint on its a slide by itself and it was never said what it was...If you can help, thanks!

Answer 1

I think that's a cover of a Yes album from about 1974.

It is not any kind of molecules. It looks like something on the surface of cells, so it could possibly be cannabinoid receptors.

Edit:

Ah, yes. I refer you to the previous answer, they are trichomes on the surface of the cannabis plant, which is where the cannabinoids are concentrated, apparently.

Answer 2

They do look like that although that does not look like they are in true colour.

they are called Trichomes by the way.
