yoma819-ga,
The biochemical steps for producing THC in plants is detailed pretty
nicely in this paper:
http://www.hempfood.com/IHA/iha01201.html
Chemical ecology of Cannabis
particularly in Figure 2 and the text that begins:
"...THC is thought to be produced by the plant (Fig. 2, next page)
from cannabidiol (CBD) which, in turn, is derived from cannabigerol
(CBG) generated from non-cannabinoid precursors (Hammond and Mahlberg
1994, Shoyama et al. 1984, Turner and Mahlberg 1988). CBG is also the
biogenetic precursor of cannabichromene (CBC). Some of the
cannabinoids (e.g., cannabielsoin, cannabinol, and cannabicyclol) are
probably degradation products of the enzymatically produced
cannabinoids (e.g., CBD, THC and CBC, respectively)..."
Note that the paper also includes some key references to more detailed
papers on the synthesis pathways.
Is this the sort of information you're seeking?

I'm not clear.
Are you looking for the process as it occurs in plants?
Or did you mean a synthetic process in the laboratory?
