Ever since moving into our home there have been marijuana plants growing in our backyard. We slacked on yard work for the first couple years but started taking it more seriously last summer. I went outside and pulled all of these plants at the root and also sprayed areas with a general weed control spray hoping this would solve our problem however it has come back with a vengeance this summer and is now even spreading into our neighbors yard đ
Any advice on how to get rid of this? I have no idea what to do

Standard weed killer will kill it. Do not try burning it as others might suggest
Cool season starter guide wtf đđ
Looks like…yeah, never mind….

You have a serious weed problem man.
Youâve got to stop using the Scottâs spreader.
Are you sure ? Do you need some one to come verify ?
still searching for the problem
I stopped throwing my seeds out back and put them in the jar for safe keeping. That may help.

Where do you live? When I lived in England, I found hemp/cannabis growing in my garden. Turns out that they put seeds in the bird feeder mix over there. It spilled out, germinated and took root!
I once went camping in Wisconsin. The were marijuana plants growing everywhere. In the woods, in the fields, in the ditches along roadways. They call it “ditch weed”.
Do like me, convince yourself that you want to grow it, try to do that and it’ll probably die
Whatâs the problem?
Have you considered leaving things alone and buying an outdoor pizza oven?
What kind of havoc?
I’m headed over to help Dude.
Call the police, that should take care of it đ
Pour some diluted molasses on it, thatâll help
Might have to go over it with a broom.
Looks like mostly Mowiee Wowie with a little bit of Labrador to me
Unless you know what you are doing, growing it so that you get actual buds is unlikely.
Yeah something dropped those in your yard or youâve spread it yourself Iâm fertilizer/compost. Eventually youâll kill them all after a few years of battling they wonât all germinate the first year, but unless youâve got an active source for seeds, you should be fine. If itâs in your yard proper just mow it.
Use Weed and Feed.
I grew up on a farm. Weed grows naturally in MN cow pastures. It literally is a weed.
Donât you mean reeking havoc?
This is outrageous! Give me the location and I’ll properly dispose of this and all of the other plants like it.
Time for a disc golf course instead of a regular golf course.
NERD ALERT!
Your neighbors keep throwing their seeds and stems in your yard
Alright, alright, alllll riiiiight!
I don’t see a problem here…
Open the door man its me Dave
Noice.
Cannabis doesnât work like that. It is an annual that grows from seed. It doesnât spread and it doesnt regenerate after cutting as itâs an annual.
First world problems
Embrace it
That’s a little weird, you should be able to just pluck it as it grows from seeds. Someone must have dumped a fuck load of seeds there or something. As long as you pluck them before they grow up they shouldn’t come back.
As far as I understand they need to fully mature and there needs to be both a male and female for it to grow seeds and drop them.
Surprisingly happy looking plant though. Someone might also be nearby throwing seeds there all the time.
Just need to build your tolerance

Get yourself an ice cream truck!
Ha! SE MN here I was out weed whipping (ironic, I know) last week and found one lone weed plant where we had a tree split last year. Never had ditch weed anywhere on our property so my unlikely hypothesis is the tree guys may have had something to do with it.
