Cannabis look-alike threads, MERGED for your enjoyment!

[hititup]

so i was walkin through these broken down train tracks that are secluded. i saw a pretty large feild of what looked like weed. the leaves looked exactly like weed, smelled like it to. But it was very low to the ground and the stem was viny. it didnt have any flowers growing with it. Is this weed?

I live in massachusetts, outskirts of boston

ill try to get photos of it, the leaves on it arent completely skinny either, and as i was walking i saw a guy there pulling out some by the roots so...

heres a picture

I know it belongs to someone but if it is weed i want to work out a deal with them and get some plants or seeds.

what does it look like

it smells like it too, and when i rub it up and down the stem i get a yellow powdery resin on my fingers

anyone know if this is weed or if its something else what is it

This is what we call Manioke,its Tapioca..Looks like weed from far away I think.

I was in a field of growing strawberries today and they didn't look like that. I'm no expert, but I'm going to go with (drumroll)...........

Japanese Maple?

Says they have been known to grow around Halifax, MA. Don't know where that is in relation to you. Here is a pic of the different leaf structures. :thumbsup:

Japanese maple is a tree.

Topic creator, whatever it is it isn't cannabis. Don't smoke it.

[TheMetal1]

but it doesn't become a tree overnight. I said I was no expert. :jointsmile: I had just seen a picture of one the other day and remember it had a similar leaf pattern.

But oh yeah... like Orzy said DON'T smoke it.

You + That Plant + :jointsmile: =

Leaf structure pix real cool! Kind of makes u wonder if this is being grown on purpose in a secluded spot or just a weed. Something sounds odd to me! But, I do agree, don't smoke it! Pluck a leaf and flower and take to a nursery! They ought to know and now I am pretty curious! It looks pretty. If it is some obscure new breed mj that would be wild--in the middle of no-where! Some one is perfecting our weeds!

Wet blankets or not... this is a Cannabis related website. Striving to be a responsible and reliable source for quality information to aid in the medical use of marijuana. To encourage another member to smoke a mystery plant is not only irresponsible, but potentially dangerous. Of course, there had to be a "first" person to walk up on a field of lovely cannabis and reap the fruits of its' creation. Luckily, in the age of technology that we find ourselves in, we don't have to guess as to what plants are safe for consumption. It is not a risk that I would suggest anyone take, especially since the majority of the members on this site are already dealing with deteriorating health problems. Lastly, as I said before, this is a Cannabis related website, and I do believe it states in the the site rules that there will be NO encouragement of use or discussion about other substances. So, until it can be confirmed 100% that it is, in fact, a cannabis plant... I think we all owe it to our fellow friend and member to advise him to NOT SMOKE IT!!! Sorry to be the one of the "wet blankets," but I personally feel that it is time to take the cannabis culture into an age of intelligence, respect, and responsibility. Otherwise, we are fighting the fight for nothing.

Stay and Keep :jointsmile:

Alright, chillax. Didn't mean to offend.

Don't smoke the mystery plant. Maybe you can take it to a botanist or a plant nursery to find out what it is?

[Revanche21]

Yea, def not marijuana, also doesn't look like wild strawberries nor does it look like the Japanese maple tree. I worked at a Botanical garden for community service once and it doesn't look like any of those mentioned above.

[TheMetal1]

no offense at all. I'm fairly new to this site too, so I had no part in creating any of the rules that they have in place. I'm just trying to help display the type of message that they have intended, to make sure the canncom stays here for a VERY long time. Sites like these are shut down far too often when things get out of hand, and the mods probably have a hard enough job without jumping into every forum to remind people that there actually are certain things that they don't want on this site. Again, not at all personal. :thumbsup: We're ALL friends here.
Stay and Keep :jointsmile:
