    Looks like it desperately needs water. If you want any buds, you'll have to water it.

    Haha it’s just a scrubby bit of land there and yes not looked after at all!!
    maybe I will water it and see what happens...

    One of the research stations near our old house grew a small field of these for hemp research purposes as they do a lot to help 3rd world countries develop viable, alternative crops.   They put signs up in the end informing local chancers that it was hemp and not pot but people still tried it on.

    I wonder if they tried smoking it. Probably like old socks.

    Does it smell in the raw plant?
    i broke off a leaf and scrunched it up but couldn’t smell anything

    it should smell at least a bit but maybe the drought conditions have prevented it and also that it's nowhere near flowering

    Another plant has now appeared , I think maybe it is hemp from the bird seed....

    Hi 
    thanks for your info,  I will look it up, I’ve not heard of that before.
    does it grow in the uk?

    In my last house, we made an allotment and before we moved in, the local yoof had been growing cannabis. We fenced it and wondered why we kept seeing signs of intruders as at that point it was still wasteland - although we had unknowingly strimmed  all their plants to the ground. In Spain it’s legal to grow a couple of plants per household for personal use, but perhaps their mums wouldn’t let them at their own gaffes.
