Thc
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis, produced in resinous glands (trichomes) across flowers and leaves. Cannabinoid profiles are genetically determined, with THC prevalence linked to specific alleles and breeding selection over decades. Cannabis plants are commonly categorized by cannabinoid ratios: THC-dominant (high THC/low CBD), balanced, or CBD-dominant strains. THC concentration varies widely across cultivars due to environmental factors, harvest timing, and genetic background. Understanding THC biosynthesis pathways has become central to modern cannabis breeding programs seeking specific cannabinoid targets.

Breeders select parent plants with desired THC expression levels and stability to produce uniform progeny. Cannabinoid ratio is a primary trait in cultivar development, often tracked through progeny testing and genetic markers to identify consistent THC producers.
