After a plant goes into flower and buds begin to form resin glands will secrete resin.
There are different shaped glandular trichomes and one glandular trichome exhibits the phytochemical process that will produce the amount of THC associated with pain relief, appetite stimulation and anti-nausea and euphoria.
So in short, no, a marijuana plant will not begin to produce THC as soon as it begins to grow. That process does not occur until later while in flowering.

I believe this too would be strain dependent . . . my personal strain gets frosty just as the pistils appear (7 days of 12/12) while this Bberry (Danish) didn't even begin to show crystals until many weeks in, like 7 . . . and a Himalayan Gold I'm budding shows none at 4.5 weeks of 12/12.
Also, on many occasions I've taken a scope and seen surface glands on the undersides of the leaves of assorted strains while in veg.

Your correct. Last years grow was cut short for me do to some legal issues so all plants were yanked up and the leaves snipped & leaves collected.
Just recently I ran into that bag of leaves which was now as fine as pepper or so.... I could not stop myself from taking a nice bong rip and sure enough, I was nice and toasty.
Also note that these plants were yanked up at the 2 1/2 months which is far from flowering.

Yesiree . . . hell, I smoked leaves (top pinchings) for decades and it certainly quenched the immediate need.

A very small amount does. Even males contain some. The stems also contain small amounts of THC.
I've gotten high off fan leaves from a young plant that died of darkness, that was many years ago. Random seed.
