I found some plants....not sure if it is wild hemp or someone's attempt at growing. How can I tell? can anyone offer any pictures in order to help me differentiate? thanks.:thumbsup:

if it is wild, is it worth trying to smoke it?

Just leave it be.
Wild hemp is just that; hemp. It's not going to get you high.
Otherwise, you've just found someone's summers work. Smile to yourself that someone pulled off a guerrilla grow, and leave it undisturbed.

This should clear up any remaining questions you may have about the ethics of bothering another grower's crop:

as far as i can tell it isn't planted with any plan or design and there are only a couple of plants...so it is either meant to look random by design or it is truly random and wild. I just want to know how to tell the difference.

You won't be able to tell just by looking at it unless you're some sort of expert, and even then it would be hard. There are so many strains of cannabis and 'hemp' cannabis that even experienced growers have a hard time pinpointing a strain.

That's one reason they don't legalize hemp farming...cuz the cops can't tell either. But one clue is that if the buds are covered with sticky resin, chances are you'll get high.

But then there's the whole "Karma" thing. I'd recommend not touching it.

Peace.

Thank you... that is the first straight answer I feel I've received. I understand the whole karmic, moral quandary regarding taking someone elses weed. But if it is that hard to actually tell, then there may be no other way than to smoke it to find out if its real shit.

I think you missed the whole point.

Follow the logic here:

If you smoke it and it turns out to be real, you have already crossed the line of taking someone's crop.

If you smoke it and it turns out to be ditch weed, you get a headache.

Either option is bad; therefore, don't bother.

No, I didn't miss the whole point at all, and do follow your simple and pedantic logic. I'm going to follow you advice as stated at the bottom adn not listen to anything you say. Thanks.
