The fact that cannabis is so genetically unstable is very interesting. The root cause of the problem is that the level of CBD or THC produced by the plant in the resin is a result of polygenic expression— in other words, even if you have two strains of CBD-dominant crop, pollination can still result in increased THC in the next generation of the plant.

Fascinating. But there's a level of scientific understanding to your comment that I just don't understand. Do you have any recommendations for learning resources to better grasp what you're talking about?

It just means that multiple genes contribute to the outcome, so it's not a binary flip of THC or CBD depending on a single gene - if it were like that, then two parents who had the CBD gene would almost certainly produce CBD kids. Polygene means that it's a more complex interaction, and you can't assume that two CBD parents will result in a CBD child.
