A List of plants that look like Marijuana

so let me get this straight you want to find more plants that look like marijuana to plant with it...

seems a little ass backwards!

first post!

this is going to my first outdoor grow and i have 97 seeds. I'll appreciate all the help i could get or just come by and check my grow journal out and subscribe. see how everything turns out for my gorilla grow!

okra kinda looks like pot

Found this thread while searching for decoys. I'm going to have some plants in pots on the patio this summer and would like to have a mixture of plants to break things up. One that I have a lot of in my yard is dotted horsemint (monarda punctata) or other mints. Just pulled these seedlings yesterday to transplant into pots. Smaller leaf structure than cannabis, but close enough, especially when it gets bushier. It's way different when flowering, but it's pretty easy to keep it cut back to prevent flowering if so desired.


Here's one by the gate going into the backyard (the cannabis will be just inside the gate on the patio).


Another option are the cassias. I had a privet cassia (senna ligustrina) that doesn't exactly look like cannabis, but it's close enough to help keep people's eyes moving. Here's a closeup of the cassia with horsemint (in flower) next to it. Both are quite different, but in my opinion will do the trick.


Cleomes are certainly a good option. A good landscaping website even addresses this fact and goes on to mention other look-a-likes. It offers this humorous anecdote:
"It's possible that this plant might freak out your friends and neighbors! Until it produces it showy blossoms, spider flower looks very much like a marijuana (Cannabis spp.) plant! A few years ago a high school student wrote to (this website) asking if there were any garden plants that looked like marijuana. They were conducting a mock drug trial at his high school and he was defending a client who an eye witness had testified had marijuana plants. I sent the student lawyer pictures of the spider flower, scarlet hibiscus (Hibiscus coccineus) and chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) all of which resemble the notorious weed in some way. We won - I mean he won the case by demonstrating reasonable doubt that it was marijuana and that the witness may have seen one of these "lookalikes". Case dismissed!"

As you can read, they also mention scarlet hibiscus (as others have) and chaste tree.

I don't recommend castor bean. It's invasive and quite a nuisance in many areas.

I was reading up today on trichomes and resin production. One site mentioned benefits from planting the stinging nettle alongside the cannabis plant. Apparently, for reasons beyond me, the stinging nettle "encourages" the cannabis plant to produce lots more resin, resulting in bigger buds.

mine has a fort of these around it

Nettles are the BEST detterent for a would be thief, but it sucks when you gotta get into your patch and the nettles are 5 ft tall! I put one plant in a nettle patch this year, and I DREAD going into there. This thread is great!

Tapioca plants , Hawaiian woodrose and bamboo look like ganja around here. The bamboo looks like giant colas sometimes I end up having to walk up to them to make sure they aren't herb.

Is the point of all this to plant your Marijuana with plants that look like it? I sort of get it, but it seems like you may be purposely attracting peoples attention by doing so. Just my 2 cents...

Im growing in the middle of a black berry patch, no dear proplem, also coyote urine works preaty good ,its just hard to get them to come around and piss where you want them to!! lol

Great photos btw, post # 28.. that is one of the 500 different plants known as Cinquefoilia/potentilla

Try this one: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Very easy to grow hardly needs any attention. Used as a fence/hedge plant in any soil imaginable.

Cassava cakes are the best cakes in the world too - I'll post a recipe if anyone is interested. Take care of your security and your munchies...

Great post!
+Rep!

not pot its not stinging-nettle it is a type of wild strawberries that we can eat thats what it is they will have yellow flowers all over the runners because they grow kind of like a vine some types of them taste like plane water

The Japanese maple looks beautiful..I would grow that just to have another kind of plant in my yard.

The Cleome definitely looks the most like a marijuana plant tho.

That looks alot like a ganja plant too lol

cedar trees shrubs bushes red wood cedar will grow any were they can take really dry weather or a lot of water and still grow fine

Lol, a thread similar to this saved my life once back in the day. Someone saw some clones I was vegging for outdoors and went apeshit. By the time they came back, I had replaced them with Cleome's with the flowers trimmed off.

Did the F****** trick. Hahaha.

I found these plants growing on my property that would camouflage marijuana pretty damn good. Maybe I'll try and get some seeds off it. I have no idea what its called tho.
