Female cannabis sativa plant

Female plants are ideal for gathering home-grown marijuana. Not only do female plants produce the desirable buds required for therapeutic applications, but they also have higher potency and THC content than male plants.

Over the last decade, some states in the United States, such as Colorado and Washington, have legalized the use of cannabis for medicinal or recreational purposes, resulting in increased marijuana usage among youths in those states.

The most frequent method of administration is smoking, however edible forms of marijuana are also available (including marijuana tea). Cannabinoids can be found in the plant's stalks, leaves, flowers, and seeds, as well as the resin released by the female plant.
