Confusion of the awkwardest kind.

[hazliya]

So!

To any pot smokers or people who know about plant reproduction (or even just plain opinions):

If someone smokes a joint on a deck, and in an effort to hide evidence, covers the remnants in dirt, will anything grow?

Meaning, is dried plant matter from the joint still viable as a specimen?

And if so, does it look like





So what's the verdict: pot or not?

P.S. No, this is not a hypothetical question. Yes, my brother's friends are that stupid.

I would not expect anything to grow, unless whatever goes into a joint can include seed pods or just seeds - which it might. No leaf would be viable after drying.

Yeah. That picture seems pretty clear. I find that hilarious.

The trouble is the things are like, two feet tall already. And mum thinks they're pretty, so I'm pretty sure she's going to keep them as decoration. x_x

If they're smoking seeds and stems, some of the seeds may still by viable in the un-smoked butt. Or, they are removing the seeds and throwing them out before rolling the joint. Definitely plausible.

On the other hand, cannabis still grows wild in some places. It's a very hardy species and hard to completely eradicate. They have very pretty white flowers.

Your brother and his friends are idiots. The end.

For the record, I've seen cannabis seeds. They're large and hard... at least a size E bead. (1/8 inch)

So if your brother's friends are smoking joints with the seeds in, they're rather oblivious. I'm told that often seeds are in what folks buy, though the one person I knew who smoked weed picked them out. ("Dude, what are the green things in the ashtray?") If someone buried their *stash* rather than a joint, I'd say you're batting 1000 that your mom has a doped ornamental.

Good survival strategy on the part of the plant, though. *rolls eyes*

not at all, dude.


poison oak has five leaves or some shit like that. but that's distinctly NOT marijuana. no buds, no main stalk, no nothing - just the five-portioned leaf. a lot of oak trees and maple also have a pattern like that - it honestly could potentially be a baby baby baby maple/oak sapling.

[jalawingedone.livejournal.com]

Definitely not maple. I've picked enough baby maple trees out of my yard to know what they look like. But I don't know what it is, either.

[qedrakmar.livejournal.com]

Poison oak has 3 leaves, just like poison ivy, but with oak shaped leaves.

Oak and Maple saplings still have oak and maple shaped leaves, so it's neither of those.

It's still missing all the other stuff though, so I'm guessing it's some other species in the cannabis genus.

Maybe her brother's friends are extra dumb and got sold fake weed?

[hazliya.livejournal.com]

When I asked around, my answer was unanimously "Dude, that's pot."

But then again, there are many species of cannabis, so it may be entirely possible that it's just a wild strain.

That, or it cross-bred with one of the 826402 other weeds in my mother's weed garden.
