The cannabis stamen

A stamen is the male reproductive organ carrying pollen of any dioecious plant, not just cannabis plants. Dioecious plants have male reproductive organs on some organisms and female reproductive organs on others, such as humans. If a female plant matures in the presence of a male plant, when the stamens release pollen, it fertilizes the female cannabis flowers. The fertilized flowers contain seeds, making them less valuable on today's market.

The stamen, Latin for thread, is made up of two parts. There's a tubular filament, or stalk, and anthers, or pollen sacs, located at the end of the filament. The anthers produce and store pollen until it's ready to be released for fertilization.

What is the role of the stamen?

The stamen contains the male reproductive organs of the cannabis plant, which produce pollen. The male DNA from the pollen will be transferred to the female part of the cannabis flower, enabling reproduction and, ultimately, the production of cannabis seeds.
