Compound by compound scientists are starting to put things together in the otherwise complex code of the plant.  For a while cannabinoids and terpenes have been studied, but now the focus is also turned to flavonoids. The pharmacological benefits of these secondary metabolites are responsible for the color, it attracts bees for pollination and protects the plant against diseases and pests. It also plays a role in the taste and aroma of the plant. But it also has therapeutic values.
