They are from the wild to begin with and there are still some growing wild today.

We used to hunt down wild plants in Iowa when I was a kid. They were IMO more sativa "type" with thin leaves. Most of the wild hemp was from the war time movement when Iowa had a hemp plant and grew hemp for Victory, etc. We did find some at the right time, right place, right conditions, and accidently cured it. (long story) but it did get you high. The seeds thought were so thick that there wasn't much left over except leaves and some bud. It worked then but now I wouldn't think of putting that up to my lips. Oh yeah, they would get 12-14 feet tall.

^^^Exactly, and a lot of soilders from the war would bring back weed cuz american wasn't growing pot yet. Those bads of weed were not sensi so there were many many seeds. Those seeds found their way into the soil and grew the pot we smoke today. Yes, there has been a lot of hybrids made out of these and that is the indoor and outdoor dank smoke we get today. I would think things would just get better and better thru selection and now that everybody knows more of what they are doing in the grow scene.

The actual hemp for victory hemp can get you high? I was under the impression that actual hemp had such a low thc level that you'd have to smoke a whole crop to get anything off it.
Not quite true?

I'm with you Oregon! I have seen wild hemp growing all across the Mid-west and even in the East (not too sure if the Eastern stuff was wild). Never actually smoked any of it though. Everything i've ever heard, from anybody (with the one exception, above), said "you don't get anything from "Ditchweed" but a headache". I know that the current laws, in places where hemp is legal, limits it's THC content to something under 1% (Ditchweed quality). I'm not so sure about the "Hemp for Victory" campaign back during WW II - maybe their hemp had a little more bite to it back then!
Anyway - to answer the OP's question, it is my understanding that any cannabis, left in a ferral condition, will revert back to hemp eventually. How long is eventually? I have no fucking idea!!! I assume that if all of the environmental conditions are near ideal that it would take a lot longer (if at all).

but seriously there must be some sort of land race strain that is indigenous to north america. maybe the closest that we could get will be some type of wild mexican strain

I read some old paper once about there being a fourth type suggested...Sativa, Indica, ruderalis, and this one...I can't remember.....maybe afghan...but anyway, I think ruderalis is indigenous to the US.Figures.

Ur right Stoney, it's afghan. Afghan mostly gets lumped in with indica cause it's got really fat leaves. If you put one next to the other they look similar, but the afghan has some seriously wide blades on the fan leaves. I think ur right about the ruderalis too, it's the stuff that grows wild in places like oklahoma-tons of seeds and less than 1% THC. Too bad we got the ditchweed naturally, good thing we have imports!

ruderalis i think is just a generic term for that type of weed, just like hemp and marijuana are all verisons of the same basic plant. but there must be sometype of smokeable marijuana that is native to the US

daisies .... they usually grow by themselves and stuff like nettles lol na for real pretty much any outdoor strain it should adapt to the environment and grow well! as long as you get enough rain in theory you should be able to leave it to grow by itself but its always best to keep a good eye on your babies!
nd goodluck!

If you check out Mel and Ed's MJ "bible", it talks about 4 pure strains of cannabis-c. sativa, c. indica, c. afghan, and c. ruderalis. Ruderalis is classified as auto-flowering and has THC content of less than 1%-true ditchweed. Most of todays strains are hybrids of two or more varieties, some are pure. Lowrider is an example of a strain that crosses the ruderalis variety for the auto-flowering feature with a more potent strain to get the THC content up. The result is a plant that goes from seed to smoke in 2 months under 20 hours of light per day. I'm pretty sure all the good smoke came here from somewhere else-indicas sativas and afghans originate outside of the USA.
