I believe that there are many reasons for THC. The resin itself I believe is for water retension to protect the developing seeds from drying out in hot dry conditions. The THC in it however, I think has been bred to be more abundent by humans. It probabaly was much weaker in the past. Much like food crops that are and have been bred to produce bigger, tastier, more abundent fuits and vegies.

So I'm not that into botony or anything, but I do know that when plants have unique characteristics, it is the result of a unique set of problems it had to overcome. Roses have thorns like armys have weapons, they do it for protection. Some plants are poisonous so animals will be conditioned not to eat them (or die trying). But what about Cannabis? What possible thing could this plant have needed to overcome, in order to develop the THC necessary to get us all rip-roarin high? I was Rating: 5
