Thread: Plant that looks like cannabis?

Does anyone know the name of the plant that most resembles cannabis? Looks and smells very similar and Ive got a bunch in my back yard. I'm cutting it down soon, not really tryin to get raided for some useless plant!

maple ? except it doesnt have buds and doesnt smell

Lets see some pictures of it?

Vitex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arboretum at ASU

Long ago, i did find a "suspicious" plant in the house of a relative. Then i get one leaf of it, and kept it with me, waiting for a day when i would show it for someone knowledgeable, and know if it was weed or not.
Thats the picture of the leaf. The background of it was erased for security reasons (a.k.a. paranoia)...
So, its weed or not?

PS.The real size of the leaf is some 4 inches.

well, a plant called a japanese maple has leaves that resemble a weed leaf except they are red/purple.

if that leaf you got there came off a small tree then thats most likely what it was.

If you follow the links I provided in my above post, you'll find that one common name for Vitex is "Hemp Tree."

Wow Coelho. That is deffinatly a weed plant. But I wonder why the leaf is so dark?

Indeed... there is even a species called Vitex cannabifolia.

It was originally green... but its 4 yrs old, thats why it became dark.
This is a picture of the entire plant. It was among another different plants. It was some 2 feet tall.

Thanks everyone! I think OhKelly's right about it being atleast
CLOSELY related to the Vitex fam.

I think it isnt... the leaflets arent serrate like cannabis... its shape is rounder, and different from the usual cannabis leaf.

PS. 2,100th post!

Ah, do you know what this could be then?

Japanese maples grow in the southern US in shades from bright lime green to dark green or yellow in fall. There are a very small amount of the red and purple Japanese maples though.

Cannabis leaves are always serrated in odd numbers I believe, so that is one way to tell.

There may be a few plants that one might ponder and suspect of being cannabis...

but when ya stumble on a plant that is cannabis, it is in your face obvious.

It is extremely unique looking. Sucks for farmers : (

thread could be useful too the outdoor stealthy grower tho
keep those pics coming as im sure there is more out there to fill out the shruberys

I dont know... but surely it isnt weed... like Melodious fellow said, if you stumble on a cannabis plant you will know it. Maybe we stoners have an extra sense for detecting weed...

It's mari-wannabe.

NO WAY!!! LOL! There is a lot of coelhos here (coelho means bunny rabbit in portuguese), and im only one of them...

Good to see you again Coelho!

I took a month or two off of here, as I was becoming increasingly paranoid.

Do you ever vape? There is a thread about vape cleaning that made me wonder about the potency of the vape resin left behind. Way to test?

peace

that hemp tree they mentioned is crazy!

My God! Are you saying Brazil has been overrun by Portuguese bunny rabbits? No wonder the Amazon rain forest is disappearing so quickly --- this is what happens when you introduce a non-indigenous species to a fragil ecosystem.
