There are cannabinoids in all parts of the plant. Here is some research I found... I spoke to a "Pot Doc", in which his wife had late onset seizures, who treated it with: 1. Green leaves from Cannabis, ground up and frozen in coconut water in ice trays. He would then add: 2x "green ice cubes", fruit and veggies, apple/orange juice, and make smoothies to give to his wife. He managed her seizure problem, with water leaves.... The leaves contain all the cannabinoids...
"Variations by Plant Part
The concentration of cannabinoids depends on the plant part, or more specifically, the concentration and development of resin glands to plant part. The female flower bracts have the highest concentration of resin glands and are usually the most potent plant parts. Seeds and roots have no resin glands. These show no more than traces of cannabinoids. Smoke seeds will give you a headache before you can get high. If you got high on seeds, then there were probably enough bracts adhering to the seeds to get you high. The highest concentration of stalked resin glands forms a cover on the female flower bracts Resin glands beneath cystolith hairs on a leaf petiole.
Here are the potencies, in descending order, of the various plant parts:
1. Female flowering clusters. In practice you don't separate hundreds of tiny bracts to make a joint. The whole flowering mass (seeds removed), along with small accompanying leaves, forms the material.
2. Male flower clusters. These vary more in relative potency depending on the strain (see "Potency by Sex," below).
3. Growing shoots. Before the plants flower, the vegetative shoots (tips) of the main stem and branches are the most potent plant parts.
4. Leaves
(a) that accompany flowers (small);
(b) along branches (medium);
(c) along main stem (large).
Generally, the smaller the leaf is, the more potent it can be.
5. Petioles (leaf stalks). Same order as leaves.
6. Stems. Same order as leaves. The smaller the stem (twig), the higher the possible concentration of cannabinoids. Stems over 1/16" in diameter contain only traces of cannabinoids and are not worth smoking. The small stems that bear the flowers can be quite potent.
7. Seeds and Roots. Contain only traces (less then .01 percent) and are not worth smoking or extracting."
