Most of the resin is in the flowering tops of the female cannabis plant. However, some can also be found in the leaves.

The Resin
The resin is a thick, sticky, milky-white substance that is produced by the cannabis plant. It is most commonly found in the flowering tops and leaves of the plant. The resin is used to make hashish, which is a form of concentrated marijuana.
What is the resin?
The resin is a sticky substance that is produced by the Cannabis plant. It is most concentrated in the flowering tops and leaves of the plant, but can also be found in smaller amounts in the stems and seeds. The main active ingredient in resin is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), but it also contains other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. These substances interact with each other to produce different effects on the body and mind.
Where is the resin located?
The resin is located in the trichomes of the female cannabis plant. The trichomes are tiny, clear hairs that cover the plant. These hairs are actually glands that produce and store the resin. The resin contains high concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for the plant’s therapeutic and psychoactive effects.
The Cannabis Plant
The Cannabis plant has both male and female parts. The male part is the pollen and the female part is the ovule. The pollen is what produces the seed, and the ovule is what produces the resin. The resin is what contains the majority of the plant’s cannabinoids, including THC and CBD.
The different parts of the cannabis plant
The cannabis plant has many different parts that can be used for a variety of purposes. The most common parts of the plant are the leaves, flowers, and stems. However, the resin, which is found in the trichomes, is also a popular part of the plant.
The leaves of the cannabis plant are usually green, but they can also be brown, red, or purple. The flowers are the part of the plant that contains the most resin. The stem is a long, thin stalk that holds up the leaves and flowers. The roots are another part of the plant that is not often used.
The resin is a sticky substance that is produced by the trichomes. Trichomes are tiny hairs that are found on the surface of the leaves and flowers. The resin contains THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.
The resin in the different parts of the plant
Cannabis resin is produced by all parts of the plant, but is most concentrated in the flowering tops and leaves. The main source ofhashish is the “sinsemilla” (from Spanish, meaning “without seed”), the unfertilized female flowerheads of marijuana. Most of the THC is found concentrated in the resin produced by these parts of the plant.
The THC content of hashish can be as high as 60 percent, compared to 5-15 percent for marijuana. However, better grades of sinsemilla usually have only about 20-25 percent THC. The amount of THC in any particular sample depends on many factors, including plant variety, age and health of the plant when harvested, growing conditions, and method of preparation for use.
The THC
The THC is the main active ingredient in resin. It is the resin that contains the most THC, which is the psychoactive compound in cannabis. The THC is what gets you “high.”
What is THC?
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that gives users a “high.” It’s one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in the plant. THC can be extracted from cannabis and used on its own, typically as a liquid, but it’s also available in dried flower, atop edibles, and in other forms.
THC interacts with cannabinoid receptors located throughout the body, including those in the brain. When THC binds to these receptors, it activates them and causes changes in the brain, including altered sensation, mood, consciousness, and appetite. It also interferes with memory and learning.
The effects of THC can vary widely from person to person. They depend on factors such as age, weight, gender, overall health status, genetics, previous experience with cannabis, and how much THC is consumed. They also differ depending on whether THC is consumed through smoking or eating cannabis-infused food (edibles), which results in delayed onset but longer-lasting effects.
Short-term effects of THC include:
-Altered senses (e.g., seeing brighter colors)
-Changes in mood
-Impaired memory
-Difficulty concentrating
-Slowed reaction time
Anxiety
Paranoia
Long-term effects of THC may include: Addiction (depending on frequency and amount of use) Impaired cognitive function Persistent psychotic symptoms (in some people)
Where is THC located?
THC is found in cannabis flowers (the buds) and leaves. It’s also in the trichomes – the tiny, clear hairs that cover the plant. Trichomes produce resin, which contains cannabinoids like THC.
The highest concentration of THC is in the female flowers. The leaves and stems have a lower concentration. But they still have some THC – especially if they’re covered in trichomes.
The CBD
Most of the resin is in the CBD or the female parts of the plant. The CBD is the most psychoactive part of the plant. It is also the part of the plant that has the most medical benefits.
What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of many cannabinoid compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is a non-intoxicating compound that has shown promise in a variety of medical applications, from relieving pain to treating anxiety and depression. CBD can be derived from both hemp and marijuana plants, though most CBD products on the market today are made from hemp.
Where is CBD located?
CBD is one of over 60+ compounds found in cannabis that belong to a class of molecules called cannabinoids. Of these compounds, CBD and THC are usually present in the highest concentrations, and are therefore the most recognized and studied. CBD is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis, meaning it doesn’t produce a high or alter your state of mind when consumed.
Cannabinoids are produced in cannabis by glandular trichomes that cover the surface of the plant’s female flowers. They can also be found on the leaves, stems, and other parts of the plant. However, most of the CBD in cannabis plants is concentrated in the resin that is produced by the trichomes.
