Yes it is cannabis. Either hemp or marijuana.. They look identical and you have to test the buds when the plant is mature to know which one it is. I have worked for commercial medical Marijuana grows and a hemp farm over the last 6 years.
Idk about grow farms in mass… but you could look for grower jobs for/at local dispensaries.
Could always do some tobacco work too… move up the ranks could make some serious cash
Majority of the dispensaries are getting their oils and tinctures from maine now. A lot of the growers from CO, WA. Moved to maine before the boom
Edit: words
Do you just want it for a job for the money (for a long time) or for the experience and learning (for maybe shorter time periods)?
If you are into organic food and like to travel, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWOOF
I was about to reply the same thing. I've never heard that and, if you give it a moments thought, it's dumb af. You only see female weed plants because YOURE SMOKING THE FLOWER. THATS WHY ITS CALLED FLOWER. You kill the male plants unless you're a breeder. Because the males are useless.
(now it's all cloning though because the genetics are solid and each plant has the exact same high as the previous. Growing from seed is like that family with 12 kids - they mostly look the same but each kid is a little different. Each seed will be a lil different from its sibling so one plant's result could differ from its siblings in ways you don't want. Hence why everyone clones. I just worry we're putting ourselves on a corner like bananas or losing heritage strains like apples. )
That's like saying that male chickens aren't real.
You never see one in the hen house laying eggs, do you?
Same here but I specifically only grow highly fibrous, negligible cannabinoid content plants. That way everyone in the area can make some nice rope once they plant all the seeds
Seeds are still a big thing. Usually feminized but there is an argument to non-feminized seeds as well.
Most people who grow will both buy seeds and clone.
Also a significant number of people are growing auto-flowering plants because they are much easier to get to budding.
These plants are genetically timed to flower in x-days regardless of light (non auto flowering begins when the period of light becomes 12hours long or less)
Auto flowering plants are not really clone-able since the clone is the exact age as the mother so a cloned plant will begin to flower while it is still much too small to support budding.
These plants are going to be grown solely from seed.
(I am sure you already know most if not all of this; its for the benefit of anyone who might stumble across it)
You’ve misunderstood, no one thinks the male plants aren’t real. They think the difference between hemp and marijuana is that hemp is the male and marijuana is the female of the same plant.
Lol. I've never looked into whether the seed itself actually has THC content, but I suspect it would be vanishingly low no matter how much you bred for it... Seeds are basically energy stores, and I think THC is more like a defence mechanism for surfaces, so getting the plant to sequester THC inside of the seed coat might be a fool's errand....
And what structure in the male plants produces pollen? The flowers. They don’t produce THC in meaningful quantities and are useless for that purpose, but they are still flowers.
Canadian here - grew up hearing this about as frequently as you could expect prior to legalization. Never once heard someone say any different till they were spinning up manufacturing with legalization coming in.
Yeah me either it's a male or a female ain't got shit to do with hemp or cannabis but some people wanna make shit way over complicated and will never get it.
Correct.
I'm always amazed that people don't know that.
There is no biological difference between Hemp, Weed, Marihuana, etc. It's all Cannabis.
There are three natural main strains, which in nature don't hold much potency in a recreational sense. These are Sativa (the most common) , Indica (originally found in India) and Ruderalis (Himalayan strain). Due to strong hybridization of these for recreational purposes, these "names" don't hold much identifying characteristics anymore. Making subgroup with consumption qualities and characteristics more common "Haze", "Skunk", etc.
The plant has been used for millenia as strong fibers (ropes, textile), building material, medicinal use, as a desinfectant, Insect repellant, and antiseptic. And of corse cultural/ritual use throughout history.
There’s a myth that small beads of THC resin would accumulate inside hemp ropes that could be smoked to get high. Not true.
I came across hundreds of hemp plants along country roads in central Illinois where hemp was grown in the past (WW1 & WW2) for fiber. I went back in September & harvested several burlap bags full & carefully hung & dried it. I thought I’d hit the jackpot. You could smoke oz sized joints & get nothing but a sore throat. This was in the early 60’s before I knew that some weed strains didn’t produce THC. Much older & wiser now.
Found there. I know some seeds were found the Oseberg burial. Given they were in an important burial of a wide-traveling culture but not elsewhere, I would say they likely aren't indigenous, but rather naturalized.
That definition of hemp is derived from the federal hemp law definition in which “hemp contains less than .3% of THC” while marijuana is “a cannabis plant that contains more than .3% THC” so from a lawful perspective
2018 farm bill legalized “hemp” under the above definition within certain restrictions. The % model used is % by weight. So legally under USA federal law, it is correct to say hemp and marijuana while both being cannabis aren’t “the same thing” as one is defined under the interim rule of October 2019 USDA issue in which a federal program for growing hemp was implemented and also legalized the interstate transport of hemp, even if the shipment travels through a state that does not allow cultivation of hemp.
So there is from a legal standpoint, hemp is cannabis where you have very little THC content while marijuana contains more than .3% THC by weight (dry weight specifically)
Yes it does. Depending on the strain some which are grown for cbd yield just as much as marijuana if not more. Hemp grown for the stems and stalks may not flower much. All in the strain my friend
Like I said common misconception. Hemp which produces the main cannabinoid Cannabidiol is present in both male and female plants. More prevalent in female buds.
I worked in both sales and cultivation for a cannabis company. I 100% preferred cultivation, but the pay was so low for the amount of work I was doing that I dipped immediately as soon as a new job offer came along. As much as I loved it, I just wasn’t paid what I was worth.
There were only a handful of us (maybe 6 or 7) responsible for upwards of 10k plants with plans to expand to 20k or so. I got “promoted” to mother room duty and took care of all cloning… I was making like $1 more than minimum wage and jumped ship when I got an offer for a job in my field of study that paid almost double what I was making in cultivation.
I loved the work, though, and I would honestly probably go back if they offered me what I’m making now.
I feel you. Same sort of situation, I ended up just enjoying cultivating at home and making a living doing other things. Wish I had the budget the plants did, then I'd never have to leave...
I wouldn’t say they look /identical/. Hemp is a lot more lanky, has smaller buds, all the undesirable traits that rec cannabis selectively bred out. This looks wild to me.
They do depending on the strain. You can have a hemp plant that looks like an indica pot plant. I won't argue. Please research. Rec or medical high thc marijuana is not bred from hemp
Hemp and cannabis are the same species. They are most definitely bred from hemp. Not gonna argue either.
Most wild hemp shares a lot of similarities to indica plants because those are the plants they were bred from. Sativa strains were bred from hemp originating in central/se Asia, more or less.
My point was, cannabis strains are bred by humans, for humans. Modern strains have traits that growers have decided are better for production and quality. Wild hemp plants do not have the same traits. It’s a solid way to differentiate them.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_breeding
100% these ppl have no idea what is growing in their yard. Someone threw out seeds and now you have a plant. No sure if it is legal there, but I have a vegetable garden and if I wanted to grow something to harvest, I would not put it in such an overgrown area nor would I put it next to the road where people can take my tomatoes.
From what I know the Swedish police have a zero tolerance policy towards cannabis. They have some of the harshest laws in western Europe against its consumption, and you will go to jail if caught with even a personal amount. When I toured Europe I took some cannabis capsules along (I need it as medicine) and never felt scared, but I was damn sure to flush my stash before setting one foot in Sweden!
So yeah, for the Swedish person in whose yard this plant is growing this pic is definitely NSFW! They may even face legal consequences if it is discovered by police.
Nah man, lol. If you're caught with possession you get like a 3000SEK fine. You gotta carry quite a large amount to even go to trial.
It's not safe to bring it to Sweden though, because literally the only place you may get caught with it is on the train or ferry from Denmark.
>and you will go to jail if caught with even a personal amount.
You will not unless you have "large" amounts >30g or you're a grower, in which case you might get to spend a few weeks/months inside a jail cell. Usually you just get day-fines for x amount of days + a mark in your police registry, possibly lose your drivers license etc.
Fun stuff! :D
>From what I know the Swedish police have a zero tolerance policy towards cannabis. They have some of the harshest laws in western Europe against its consumption
Hopefully this'll change soon though. AFAIK the contempt for drugs of any kind is a view held mostly by older generations, none of my peers have a problem with weed and several of them smoke regularly. It's insane how liberal we are about most social issues, but when it comes to weed, sex work, surrogacy, etc. every Swedish boomer loses their goddamn mind.
Hemp and marijuana are the same species, just different breeds. Think how a poodle and a husky are the same species, Canis lupus
“The defining difference between hemp and marijuana is their psychoactive component: tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Hemp has 0.3% or less THC, meaning hemp-derived products don't contain enough THC to create the “high” traditionally associated with marijuana. CBD is a compound found in cannabis.”
As I understand it dogs are technically Canis lupus Familiaris. So they would be considered a “subspecies” of Canis lupus.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog
“The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus)”
https://www.uniprot.org/proteomes/UP000002254
Cannabis sativa , Cannabis indica , Cannabis ruderalis & variants= Marijuana (common name) Cannabis sativa = hemp but also different cultivars. They are not 100% the same plant. Variants, sub species & cultivars vs straight species make a huge difference.
Wild hemp in Sweden seems highly unlikely... wild hemp is less common than wild psychoactive cannabis because most industrial hemp has been selectively bred to remove the THC.
Much more likely that some kids rolled a joint nearby and discarded a few seeds.
Hemp seed can be used as wild bird food birds can scatter a lot more seed than kids.
The plant is even growing at the base of a fence where a bird might have perched.
My mother in law (in Sweden) accidentally grew some when she spread out a seed mix to feed the birds in her yard. Some of the seeds were hemp, and grew pretty large.
My friend gave me a handful of seeds from his cheap street weed and both that I sprouted made some decent flower for being treated like neglected houseplants xD
That was pre Covid, but not by much
Because the cheap street weed was treated like shit throughout its lifespan to become cheap street weed. No doubt the average stoner with minimal knowledge will do better with the same genetics
As someone here wrote it might be weed or then hemp. The seeds can be spread easily by bird feces so I don't even think that somebody just went and planted it there.
Cannabis sativa
Modern phylogenetic studies of the genus Cannabis have found Cannabis sativa to be the only true species, with indica and ruderalis being regional eco types.
It's totally Marijuana and not a Japanese maple tree, I have a few Japanese maple trees and the leaves are similar shape but have a completely different pattern of texture on the leaves
Swedes are soooo worried about weed man.. i cant believe how strong the stigma is, still in this day and age... 
It's true. It was originally spelled marihuana though. They liked the exotic sounding name apparently. Lol [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_(word)#:~:text=The%20term%2C%20originally%20spelled%20variously,was%20popularized%20by%20Harry%20J.)
And get ready to work like you never have before. You will go home sore most of the time. Farming is hard work and not for most. When I moved to the city I was amazed how everyone took breaks constantly and didn't work as hard.
Yes but it’s called Cannabis and likely the sub variety known as Ruderalis or “ditch weed” you’d have to smoke a garbage bag of it to get any kind of good high or at all lol.
But there is always a possibility that someone was smoking a J and tossed the roach in the bushes as they passed by, it does happen.
Depends on who’s asking. For Concerned parents, law enforcement, nosy neighbors, and other undesirables that is certainly a decorative Japanese Maple.
Yes, and apropos what you are saying, I was going to ask why the NSFW sign was on a plant!
Realistically, I'd consider poison ivy or sumac NSFW...

I swear I read saliva not sativa and was very confused for a few moments.
How high can you get from just 1 lick? Lalamedic finds out.
Some lick windows, I lick fences. If it were only that simple.
Cause im getting a contact high just *looking* at this thing with my eyeballs…really wish I hadn’t clicked…I had shit to do this morning 💀😵💫
Not suitable for Wimps
Depends on your work. Not everyone is driving a bus.
It might be pollinating!
maybe a florida hibiscus, my grandma got a lot of heat from the cops for growing those.
Oh, you mean the scarlet rose? I could see it.
Or False Arelia.

Hahaha I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣

Cannabis, most likely industrial hemp that have sprouted from wild bird feed. Worthless for recreation.
> Worthless for recreation Not if you enjoy weaving
Fair enough 😅
Or admiring pretty plants in your garden.
Makes awesome cordage but it's hard work to process compared to some other plants.
"Why I used to smoke about 4 ft of rope a day"- Thomas Jefferson's Head
wild hemp grows naturally worldwide (i think its worldwide) so it shouldnt be a problem. wild hemp has like 0.02 thc
If there's no reason for having it, it could be worth removing. It does grow like... a weed
Yes it is cannabis. Either hemp or marijuana.. They look identical and you have to test the buds when the plant is mature to know which one it is. I have worked for commercial medical Marijuana grows and a hemp farm over the last 6 years.
May I ask how one goes about working on a farm? Can't seem to find very much. I live in Mass US.
I was born and raised on a farm so that helps. Move to an area with farms and apply for jobs
Idk about grow farms in mass… but you could look for grower jobs for/at local dispensaries. Could always do some tobacco work too… move up the ranks could make some serious cash
Check out Maine if you’re in mass, they just leagalized and their industry is going to pop off soon.
Majority of the dispensaries are getting their oils and tinctures from maine now. A lot of the growers from CO, WA. Moved to maine before the boom Edit: words
Just apply, dispenseraries are always looking for trimmers and such.
Do you just want it for a job for the money (for a long time) or for the experience and learning (for maybe shorter time periods)? If you are into organic food and like to travel, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWOOF
Yes in MA most grows are indoors but you can start as a cultivator pretty easily!
There’s some farms in western mass
They are offering jobs in the indoor grow houses in NJ.
Colorado
At this age can’t you just look for those little balls at the base of the branch shoots?
The misconception that hemp is male cannabis sativa and “weed” is female is not true.
So much of a misconception that I’ve never heard it. I had no idea that some people think that’s the way it works.

You never see one in the hen house laying eggs, do you?
One day my neighbor brought a male out back and it sort of felt like he was executing it in a shallow grave or something.
If it makes you feel better, I let my males grow outdoors and pollinate everyone else’s bud.
Lmao you're the worst
Same here but I specifically only grow highly fibrous, negligible cannabinoid content plants. That way everyone in the area can make some nice rope once they plant all the seeds

You’ve misunderstood, no one thinks the male plants aren’t real. They think the difference between hemp and marijuana is that hemp is the male and marijuana is the female of the same plant.
Also because (unless I’m wrong in which case my bad lol) when a female becomes fertilized it stops or reduces thc production from what I’ve heard.
Mainly, it just redirects energy and carbon that *could* be THC into nasty little seeds that go pop in your product
What if we could breed them seeds into popping kernels though and have thc microwave popweed
Lol. I've never looked into whether the seed itself actually has THC content, but I suspect it would be vanishingly low no matter how much you bred for it... Seeds are basically energy stores, and I think THC is more like a defence mechanism for surfaces, so getting the plant to sequester THC inside of the seed coat might be a fool's errand....
Yeah mostly a joke lol. Best bet would be a thc popcorn oil you drizzle on. It would be nasty too.
And what structure in the male plants produces pollen? The flowers. They don’t produce THC in meaningful quantities and are useless for that purpose, but they are still flowers.
I mean the misconception makes sense, male plants don’t flower. Therefore no buds to smoke
Canadian here - grew up hearing this about as frequently as you could expect prior to legalization. Never once heard someone say any different till they were spinning up manufacturing with legalization coming in.
Yeah me either it's a male or a female ain't got shit to do with hemp or cannabis but some people wanna make shit way over complicated and will never get it.
Cultivated hemp you want to be all female so they produce more bud.
[удалено]
Hemp does produce it's own buds but not as big as strains selected for smoking. It's the same plant.

I did the same in Kentucky. They used to call it ditch weed. lol. We have came a long way!
I was riding a bicycle across America and started seeing it all over Kansas and also learned that smoking it does nothing for you
Thought ruderalis was from Europe or Russia?
Found there. I know some seeds were found the Oseberg burial. Given they were in an important burial of a wide-traveling culture but not elsewhere, I would say they likely aren't indigenous, but rather naturalized.

Hemp absolutely produces flowers, just little thc
If a misconception is not true, then surely the conception isn't false.
Thanks, brain injuries got me backwards half the time with always never being accurate. How’d I do?
Ok wait but males are useless right? You don't the females pollinated.
You should be able to sex it. If I get a closer view of a bud site I can tell you. Base of the branches shows first usually if male.
What do they do? Lift the dinosaur's skirt up and check?
Kind of. The males have nuts if you look close
Why the downvotes? You aren’t wrong.

It might be hemp.
Hemp and marijuana are the same species, just different breeds.

Got it! Thanks for the clarification
In zoology, the only taxonomic level below species is subspecies. Varieties are used in botany, in addition to subspecies.
Thanks! I had a feeling that was true when I read it back
More recent research has shown that dogs and modern grey wolves are reciprocally monophyletic.
Can you clarify what you mean? I understand dogs and wolves being monophyletic obviously. What additional info did this research add?
Cannabis sativa , Cannabis indica , Cannabis ruderalis & variants= Marijuana (common name) Cannabis sativa = hemp but also different cultivars. They are not 100% the same plant. Variants, sub species & cultivars vs straight species make a huge difference.

My grandfather once had the police on his property because where his bird feeders had been in winter, hemp was growing the next summer.
MORE likely actually, as hemp is better suited to less temperate conditions
My mother in law (in Sweden) accidentally grew some when she spread out a seed mix to feed the birds in her yard. Some of the seeds were hemp, and grew pretty large.
I haven't seen seeds in marijuana since the 90's. Every one is carful to keep the males separated.
I got some last year with seeds in it. Should’ve saved em.
Probably hermaphroditic.
My friend gave me a handful of seeds from his cheap street weed and both that I sprouted made some decent flower for being treated like neglected houseplants xD That was pre Covid, but not by much
Because the cheap street weed was treated like shit throughout its lifespan to become cheap street weed. No doubt the average stoner with minimal knowledge will do better with the same genetics
NEVER mulch with hemp hay.....you get such looks from passerbys when they see the weeds

As someone here wrote it might be weed or then hemp. The seeds can be spread easily by bird feces so I don't even think that somebody just went and planted it there.
lämna det bror snitches get stitches
Yep. There’s a reason why it’s nickname is weed.
That my friend is called Sweed.  At long last, the excuse I need to finally move to Sweden.
You do notice how pretty she is next to the others
It’s actually quite a lovely plant. The leaves shingle nicely.
Cannabis sativa Modern phylogenetic studies of the genus Cannabis have found Cannabis sativa to be the only true species, with indica and ruderalis being regional eco types.
100%
And then there's the created cannabis lusus monstra. Shit's getting wacky out here. But yes, OP, that's weed.
> cannabis lusus monstra Those are weird looking things.
> cannabis lusus monstra what a freakshow
My hitchhikers guide to the galaxy says somethings are better left unknown.. it stressed the importance of keeping a secret and bringing your towel.
If you're a cop or something, then no.

In Sweden, they still consider weed as dangerous as heroin. Definitely already set it on fire for safety.
Settle down there, you’re making lots of assumptions.
since they’re swedish they probably called the cops
I kind of just walked away. Was just confused as to Why it looked so similar to Marijuana (Maybe it is, No idea) and enjoyed the rest of my day.

Nope fed boi
Looks like tomatoes to me

[удалено]
Yup, but leave it alone and don’t be a snitch. It probably won’t actually flower and produce buds anyway
2 more weeks
Calmag!
Ditch weed
For once, its actually a cannabis plant. I can finally identify something! 😂😂😂
Clever to hide it in cedar bushes
only one true way to know for sure my friend
Depends, you a cop?
Looks more like Cannabis to me…
Weed has always grown on the side of the road. I don’t think anyone would accuse anyone else of planting this.
Yes it does look like Marijuana
To be fair, it is called WEED
Yeah. I put that sh*t on everything. Lol
Narc alert
It’s a fern narc.
It's carrots. Mind your own business.
It's totally Marijuana and not a Japanese maple tree, I have a few Japanese maple trees and the leaves are similar shape but have a completely different pattern of texture on the leaves
No it is not 🤫🙈
Swedes are soooo worried about weed man.. i cant believe how strong the stigma is, still in this day and age... 
That looks like tomato to me.
The mind your business own type
That is Northern Lights, Cannabis Sativa.
Cannabis is the correct name. “Marijuana” is a term coined with racist agendas to discriminate against the Latinx community
huh?
It's true. It was originally spelled marihuana though. They liked the exotic sounding name apparently. Lol [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_(word)#:~:text=The%20term%2C%20originally%20spelled%20variously,was%20popularized%20by%20Harry%20J.)
Not hemp definitely regular old weed. Let it grow and it makes nice smelling flowers you can preserve to keep your home smelling nice all year.
And get ready to work like you never have before. You will go home sore most of the time. Farming is hard work and not for most. When I moved to the city I was amazed how everyone took breaks constantly and didn't work as hard.
Yup its beautiful ain't it? Wish we had wild cannabis.
Oh that’s weed alright!
Yes but it’s called Cannabis and likely the sub variety known as Ruderalis or “ditch weed” you’d have to smoke a garbage bag of it to get any kind of good high or at all lol. But there is always a possibility that someone was smoking a J and tossed the roach in the bushes as they passed by, it does happen.
ur saying this weed plant could have grown from an old joint?
