What do you do if you see this growing in your garden or on a public footpath

I once took the dog in the park after work many years ago, and this young woman came up to me when I parked a sheepishly asked if I had any "tobacco" to sell.

I just said no and walked off with the dog, it wasn't till a few minutes after that it dawned on me what had happened, she had obviously agreed to meet someone, who she didn't know for a transaction.

 

There must be a plentiful supply nowadays because I hardly go anywhere without getting a massive waft of it. It seems so common that no one cares to hide the fact. Until recently there were stickers on local lamp posts where you could scan the qr and order it.

I think it's a nice looking plant and if it didn't come with legal complications, I'd probably give it a go as an ornamental. I'll stick to growing hemp agrimony in my pond margins for now.
