Morphology
The meaning 'a sticky substance obtained from the cannabis plant' is directly and compositionally derived from 'cannabis' (the plant/hemp/marijuana) plus 'resin' (a sticky substance). This straightforward noun–noun compounding is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the correct meaning.
Etymology
Cannabis resin is the sticky resin the cannabis plant makes. People collect this resin to make hashish, so the phrase means the concentrated, 'mind-changing' part of the plant.
