The magic of cannabis starts with the female plant. Female cannabis flowers produce a sticky resin packed with cannabinoids like THC, which gives cannabis its psychoactive effects. This resin isn’t just there for fun—it’s a survival mechanism designed to trap pollen from male plants. In high-THC strains, this resin becomes a potent cocktail of cannabinoids and terpenes. Interestingly, the most powerful cannabis comes from unpollinated female flowers, which direct all their energy into producing resin rather than seeds. Farmers keep a close eye on the flowers’ color and resin appearance, harvesting when THC levels are at their peak. From there, the flowers are dried, cured, and processed into various products like tinctures, edibles, and concentrates. Learn more about Pure Roots
