Cannabis preparations delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or t h c: primary psychoactive agent in cannabis, concentrated in a resin. Hashish: most potent preparation, prepared by scraping or breaking off the tiny hairlike trichomes and packing them together, with up to 65 percent t h c by weight, relatively rare in the united states. Sinsemilla: a method of growing more potent marijuana, particular strains are selected and the male plants are removed prior to pollination so that the female plants produce more flowers and no seeds.
