Why do cannabis produce t.h.c?

I am no mechanic, but, I can turn a wrench... I do all my own oil changes and brakes and such... just never went full tilt and rebuilt or became an expert on the guts...

Ahhhhh.... ok, now I get it... I thought it was SOMETHING like that, but wasn't sure exactly if it was clutches or if it was the brakes, or what...

Yes but in a too small amount! like really small one so if it was used has a '' defence '' or only for this purpose they would produce more just like the female produce it since they are not then that mean its not used for that OR only used for that purpose
So, what is the "Proper amount" of THC that needs to be produced ?
Can you cite a few peer reviewed botanical papers on the subject - I like reading.

many plants produce trichomes and terpenes. cannabinoids are but terps that activate cannabinoid receptors, essentially formed from phosphates and crap I have a feeling you don't care about..
many compounds were selectively bred by the environment. for example the terpenes that create the beautiful citrus aroma of some central american strains will effectively kill aspergillus so prominent in that region. in general secondary metabolites are toxic to plants and insects etc inducing apoptosis (making them explode cellular like) thc will kill insects large enough to rupture heads and eat plant leaves. while other terpenes actually draw insects to the plant. all working in symbiosis to further the potential chance of offspring.
humans as a whole have changed the plant very little.

we don't have a thc receptor. but we do have many receptors and chemicals that are released or activated directly or indirectly by ingestion of not only cannabinoids but terpenes as well.
trichomes serve to protect from sunlight wind humidity etc individual terpenes also adapted because of environmental reasons.

males produce massive amounts of resin like females. but the genetics saythat the flower produces the larger stalked glands we are after. the males don't have buds

You are not answering the question at all you are just repeating what every one say :/ you are not taking what im trying to say in consideration about the male plant...if it was a protectio i dont know how many time im gonna have to repeat it, the male plant would use it as well to protect them from insects or what ever things, sun ect can eat or attack them and oh we dont have thc receptors? http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306452296004289 got an article here that seem a bit more credible that say the opposite

oh! you confused the cannabinoid receptors, of which there are thousands of compounds that activate, with "thc receptor"
