    From what part of the cannabis plant is the highest concentration of cannabinoids produced?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Stigmas: Stigmas are part of the female flower’s reproductive system and serve to capture pollen. They contain minimal cannabinoids and are not the primary site of cannabinoid production. B. Pistil: The pistil includes the stigma, style, and ovary, which are reproductive structures. Cannabinoid concentration in the pistil is low compared with specialized glandular structures. C. Trichomes: Trichomes are glandular structures on the cannabis plant that produce and store high concentrations of cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. They are responsible for the plant’s potency and are the primary site for resin and cannabinoid accumulation. D. Resin glands: Resin glands are sometimes used synonymously with trichomes, but technically the highest cannabinoid production occurs in the trichome structures themselves. Resin is the excreted product, not the site of synthesis.
