Spread by high water. Looks like Mary Jane, they claim you would get sick before you got high smoking it. Not sure now, but 20 years ago, doing
anything at all with it was illegal.

I read a blurb way long time ago about some freaky people harvesting hemp cannabis in a midwestern state where it was once cultivated. Apparently feral hemp was doing very well on its own. Seems these folks were strangers and thought they’d hit the mother lode. They were charged and found guilty of Destruction of Wildlife Habitat. IIRC hemp was a beneficial plant for feeding and nesting birds including pheasant.

Had a friend in SoCal who had relatives in Kansas or some state near there.

Used to drive his VW Bug there, fill up a couple of big plastic trash bags with "ditch weed" , bring it back, dry it out, bag it up, sell it to the sailors and marines at the beach that just got out of boot camp. Late 60's/Early 70's. Them fellas had never seen marijuana...........................but they found out hemp smoking would give you a good......................headache.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
