Not MJ. Not even part of the family. Strawberries and hops are closer relatives.
I'm merging this with a few other threads so we can have the mystery plant pics all in the same place.

Cannabis look-alike threads, MERGED for your enjoyment! 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 Rating: 5

Hititup's plant is Hops, humulus lupulus, cannabis' first cousin. The yellow powder is the resin Lupulin, which is actually an ingredient in insomnia medications.

DO NOT -PLEASE- tell other members to smoke unknown plants!!!

Here's the plants that have true compound leaves arranged similarly to cannabis.

Here's some other mimics

hmmm anyone ever tried deep fried manioc roots??? man.. I think I'd step over my (hypothetical) girlfriend for some of that shit....

golden on the outside.. white on the inside.. crispy and tender and salty... blows french (ahem FREEDOM) fries out of the water...

lol@ Freedom Fries.. what a bizarre moment in American history THAT was. I like my fries French. Most of us don't need any extra 'freedom' in our guts... :wtf: I'll have a glass of prune juice for that thx... eww. Reminds me of the Olestra fad.

Never tried manioc root. I just might have to scoot across town to the world market and pick some up. Is it prepped exactly like FF? (cut and twice-fried?) Or is there a secret? I'm on a fried rutabaga kick ever since a place opened in town that has essentially a Yankee tapas bar menu- simple finger food, cheap, featuring lots of root vegetables and coarse breads. Yum yum.

On this list, that makes 2 delicious plants that happen to resemble pot! Cool.

so what does fried rutabaga taste like? and where can you usually find manioc roots for cooking?

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

hititup: My question is: Why didn't you just ask the guy you saw tending his plants, what they were? My guess is, someone said smoke it, because it isn't yours and you should leave other people's things alone! Smoke it and choke. It is not yours! I cannot understand why you did not talk to the person there! Instead, lurk behind a bush until he left?? I bet not too many would be happy to find their stuff missing. It obviously, was not abandoned or yours! Did the tendor happen to have a double barrel shot gun with him. If so, I'd stay away. If not, I think Storm Crow told it best! Do not smoke it! Be safe and grow your own!

Thanks Stinky for merging all these, I was getting pretty confused!:thumbsup:

Rutabaga gets sweet and earthy when it's cooked, kind of like turnips but I think rutabaga tastes better.
I'd check ethnic markets for manioc root.
