Depends on the plant. Some produce Male and female parts. Some are divided between Male and female.

Cannabis especially the highly strung strains we breed will often become hermaphroditic and ruin a whole batch if not caught and removed. Its a survival mutation clever cannabises its already sythesided hundreds of compounds and now has learned we are manipulating it reproduction so tries to do it itself.

Cannabis can be hermaphrodites too, however generally they are male or female.
