So I was cleaning out some old pics on my phone yesterday and I came across this one. Two ironic things: First the instrument man had no idea what is was when the point was set and second the plant was dug out and gone the next day. No it wasn't me.
This was on the side of the road in the middle of a town in IL, 2000 feet from the post office in plain sight.
We have millions of those.
It's not what you're thinking it is.
“It's not what you're thinking it is.”
Be that as it may, could you gather up a half million or so and mail them to me? 😉

As can be seen in the article, you don't get high smoking hemp. Working in the Midwest I often came across patches of these. I believe they are a legacy of the WW2 effort to increase hemp production. Hemp is a very useful crop. Anecdotally, I heard that police would watch these patches to catch persons seeking to harvest them.

I was working in eastern Nebraska, a long time ago; we needed to clear line through a big patch and this lady called the cops on us, thought we were hharvestingB-)
Last year while doing a pipeline survey along the eerste river , we came across this bush of dagga, a female plant with no pips and ready for picking, here is my assistant with the find.
Position logged ready for a return visit later this year for resupply
When I first started surveying (40 years ago) we were cutting through some tough vines and briers on a boundary survey. We came to an opening in the woods that was COVERED with knee high plants. We backed out and chose another route to avoid the area. At that time folks were known to booby trap their plots.
