Smoking them is out of the question. I live in an apartment block, with some gardens. Some neighbours showed me some plants that looked like marijuana. I'm tired of seeing the silhouette of the leaf but never seen the plant, so I did some google search and it seems it is marijuana.

Obviously, it didn't grow up by itself. We had some laughs about who of the neighbours would have planted it. I really don't know what to do because it can put us all in trouble if police find it. I was thinking either remove them and leave there -so the grower will get the message- or tell the police in case they want to investigate further. I really would not want to put a neighbour in trouble, as it is only three plants so I presume it's for his/her own consumption, but I don't think it's fair he put the rest of us in trouble when he could grow it in his own appartment.


So what would you do?

leave it be, if your clean you have nothing to worry about. I would rather have a neighbor that smokes too much, than one who drinks too much ::)

Theres all kinds of options. If you wanted to turn the complete blind eye and just watch to see who comes for them, they will be gone before first frost. If you want to make your point but dont want to touch them, saturate the soil with bleach. It wont take long. Pissin on them works too, but it takes longer. If you dont mind touching them, pull up roots and all and discard. Not in your trash, but in a ditch, gutter, street, a neighbors trash or car that you hate. Dont transport them to rid them though. Call the cops if you like but keep it discrete till after all the gossip and hubbub is over with.

Send them to me and Ill do a little quality assurance... 8)

the cheapest and most economical way... just as in cremation... would be to get out your bic lighter and burn one  ;)

just because it is illegal doesn't mean it should be...  alcoholism and drunk driving claim far more deaths than cannabis.  in fact, there are no real reports of deaths because of marijuana... just deaths for people acting retarded while happening to have smoked some herb prior to some dumba$$ stunt.

i just finished a "drugs in society" course so if you'd like to get into the debate i'm all ears and have plenty to offer  ;D

I don't think they get much of a first frost in Raul's neck of the woods BD ;D


I'd leave them be to be honest Raul, Unless your apartment block get's regular visits from the police, it's highly unlikely that they'll ever find out ;)

We suspect from some young guys who live in a rented appartment. Seems they smoke in their window and are so stupid they throw the remains of the marijuana cigarette to the street, where everybody can see them. I really have nothing against people smoking marijuana, it's their choice, but it pisses me off that the common gardens turn into a marijuana plantation, because sooner or later their friends will come to get their share.

I really don't feel like calling the cops, but probably I will pull them to the roots and leave them there. The oldest people in the building can't tell marijuana from weeds, but the one who planted them will get the message (I hope).

marijuana grows extremely well over a wide range of climates, often voluntarily (by someone chucking seeds out a window because they are not to be smoked). 

leave them in the ground and take pictures along the way, please.  if you were a cop would you go around neighborhoods looking for weeds or would you be trolling for speeders on crotch rockets?

So, I take by Ingrid and Heffay's comment that they recognize the plant in the picture as marijuana. How can I tell wether it is male or female?


Furthermore, what's wrong with speeding on a crotch rocket?  ;) The more I get into bikes, the more I like sport bikes and the less I like cruisers.

If you call the law, their first suspect will probably be the guy with the old Honda.

Ooops, that's you.

bad idea.

It looks like the plant in question is nowhere near mature, so you have a few months to gather papers, roach clip, bong, munchies, etc. before heff, boats, and the gang show up on your porch. ;D ;D ;D ;D

not until now!  i'm always glad to hear of others willing to think about certain possibilities outside of schedule 1 (use or possession of the drug IN ANY WAY is illegal)... what does this really mean?  no scientific studies as well!  boo, hiss...

Ingrid, I've long known the truth about female humans, but I'm not familiar with the female marijuana plant issue.  Can you expand on that a little?

BTW, Raul, I'd just leave them alone.  God made the plant, and put it here on the earth.  What people choose to do with it is their own business, IMO.  I have a hard time with laws banning plants.  That just doesn't make any sense to me.  I have another issue with banning marijuana in that the law allows for "medical use" exceptions like cancer patients.  So, even the legislators acknowledge that it is not harmful for cancer patients.  Why is it harmful for everybody else?  For the record, I'm not a "pot smoker" either.

I have a small horrible monitor here at work so I can't really tell, but looks like it may be hemp, aka ditchweed (non-psychoactive cousin to mary jane). This stuff grows in the wild normally despite the national drug enforcements hyperactive crusade to get rid of it. It has a plethora of great uses in the textile and oil industries, relatively no use to your local stoner. The picture shows leaves that have a prominent Indica traits which lead me to believe its probably hemp or at worst, sh***y bag weed that someone threw out the window. Either way, you'd probably have a better time with a bottle of robotussin than you would trying to smoke that stuff.

What would I do about? First of all, how close are you to a school? Most states have laws that will quadruple the punishment for growing pot within a radius of a public school (usually 200-1000 ft). If that were the case, I'd pull it up, put in in a garbage bag, and toss it IMMEDIATLEY, lest you want to deal with having your entire complex searched if and when the fuzz were tipped off about it. If you're not in danger of being near a school, it just depends on how badly it annoys you aesthetically. They're nice looking plants IMO, it's a shame they're such a taboo. They do however tend to grow up and out and multiply ferociously (they call it "weed" for a reason). If they end up getting pollinated and drop their seeds this fall, expect dozens of them to sprout up next spring.

I wouldn't involve the cops in any way unless you want them all of the sudden hanging out in your neighborhood on a regular basis annoying both the stoners next door as well as Johnny Do-No-Wrong who's never even had so much as a parking ticket. In this absolutely absurd and inane war on drugs, cops ultimately make way more money and are promoted much faster for busting people who practice "recreational botany" than they do busting people on crotch rockets or abusive husbands who beat their wives within an inch of their lives. Invite them into your neighborhood at your own risk.

Sure it should be legal as should hemp growing.
Here's a couple more reasons why.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp (this one really got me, particularly the dioxin)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1937_Marijuana_Tax_Act

not so sure what you have is pot though,
here's a picture....



but your picture does fit the classic description of 5 to 7 leaves over the bud.

Here are some interesting articles on marijuana. (sorry for the long link)

Seeing the difference in young plants is quite hard, but at the top of the male plant there should form little yellow/green balls at the top.
The female plant grows little white pistals growing from the branch union.

Lots of interesting advice here, thanks a lot. Here in Spain there is no difference where do you grow the plants. In some way, I tend to think those plants -there are a couple more- have grown just as a coincidence, as they are at full sight while there would be much better places in the complex to hide them. We had lots of laughs here because there is a retired man that grows aromatic herbs and onions and carrots. He thinks nobody knows as many of us can't tell the difference, but I know how they look like as my grandparents and parents used to have a vegetable garden. So it was funny to think he was growing his own pot...  ;D


Believe it or not, if I call the cops they would probably show up and, seeing it is just a couple of plants, they would forget about it. Spain is not like the US in this aspect, you can't expect here an extensive investigation among the neighbours for this; not even for more serious things. As we say here, most of the crimes the police solve are solved by strikes of good luck, like finding a burglar in action and finding in his backpack the phone numbers and names of his accolades and drug dealers.... ;D Our community parking was broken into several times, cars were broken into and stolen, and nobody came here to investigate anything. We just had to file a denounce so we could claim the insurance.

I was just thinking about calling the cops just to cover our asses. You know, play the uninformed guy and report some strange plants that look like something bad... but I will let it go. Actually, after all the interest this thread has raised, if you want I can mail you some leaves..... do you have Paypal?   HAHAHAHAHA

Personally I don't smoke it (for at least 15yrs), but stand with it being less harmful than hard alcohol. 

But being the antagonistic that I am, take some cardboard and make a big sign to stick in the ground next to it 'POT PLANT'.  Bet it and the sign will be gone by the next day.
