I found a plant that looks like & smells like marijuana, but without jagged edged leaves. What is it?

Question

In a bed planted with wildflowers, there were two stalks that look quite a bit like marijuana -- 7 leaf formations, etc. The leaves smell like marijuana. (But marijuana wasn't planted.) We read that marijuana plants have jagged edged leaves, but these leaves are smooth. What else could it be? Or has my garden become a grow house spontaneously?

Answer 1

The wild plants get 2-4 feet tall, but cultivated plants cant get up to 20 feet tall.  Depending on the variety they have small yellowish flowers.

Answer 2

The best thing to do is smoke it and see if it is or not!  

Answer 3

giant ragweed is often confused with marijuana.   See if this photo rings a bell?

Answer 4

We end up with something every spring that looks like the wacky weed. But it sure don't get that big. It is a weed of some type. But clueless on what it is called.

Answer 5

I grew the annual flower, Cleome, some years ago. Cleome's foliage visually  has a sort of kind of resemblance to Cannabis Sativa, if you squint and don't think about it for more than a second or two. But the aroma of a Cleome is strikingly and strongly reminiscent of dope...it really took me aback, and it still does, walking down an aisle at the garden center and suddenly being assailed by a powerful whiff of weed.

Incidentally, I know I have mentioned this here before, but it bears repeating that back in 1979, I started every single seed individually in a greenhouse from a packet of Lilly Miller mixed annuals. i separated them into the same types before sowing. One seed had me absolutely flabbergasted---it had every appearance of our friend, hemp.

i started the seed and took very good care of the plant. It was, indeed, weed, and it was a bizarre hybrid I have never seen before or since. The plant never grew beyond four feet tall, but it grew into a perfect little ball of a density that defied description. The trunk was so thick and stocky that I had to chop the plant down with an axe. Because of the density of growth, there were literally hundreds and hundreds of branches and stem tips, all of which, when blooming time came, completely covered the plant in long, sturdy, thick flower stalks. When processed for home use, these buds confounded even the most jaded connoisseur with the staggering wallop they packed. That sh*t knocked you on your a $$..
