Which of the following is not a characteristic of cannabinols?

The reasoning for selecting that option revolves around the nature and common uses of cannabinols. Cannabinols primarily refer to compounds found in cannabis, with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) being one of the most well-known, associated with the psychoactive effects of marijuana. Options that reflect commonly recognized characteristics of cannabinols, such as their illicit status and their relation to marijuana and hashish, align with established knowledge of these substances.

In contrast, herbal teas typically do not contain significant concentrations of cannabinols, particularly THC or its derivatives, unless specifically formulated to do so with cannabis extracts. While some products might use CBD (cannabidiol), which is another cannabinoid, the generality is that traditional herbal teas do not have cannabinol characteristics. This distinction highlights why the response regarding herbal teas is accurate, as it does not align with the defining traits of cannabinols.
