Question about wild pot

I just have a couple questions! I’m totally new to growing. I just bought my first house and decided to try growing pot for a hobby! It works out perfect since I smoke daily.. Around 4 months ago I started doing my research and slowly bought everything I need and started my first auto grow about a month ago! I love it and I’m glad I found this forum for all my questions!

let’s get to them.

So long story short, one of my friends has had wild pot plants growing in his fields since his dad can remember (50 plus years) and we’ve found plants with actual bud on them over the years but it’s hit and miss.. it’s really bad quality but we’ve smoked it and have got high. If I were to get the seeds and actually grow them in a controlled environment do you think the quality of the bud would be better? Do people actually find wild pot plants and try and breed them in home?Is it possible to find out the genetics of the plant to connect it with what it is? Is there a niche group of people that like experimenting with wild pot plants? Thanks!

(I know it’s bad bad quality) I’m just asking could growing it in a tent with proper lightning, nutrients, watering make it look and smoke better?

the only picture I could find is a screenshot I took from a video snip I recorded two or three years ago

It’s hemp. Probably not worth trying to grow because the potency will be low no matter if you can keep it from getting pollinated or not. Also if you do any kind of outdoor grow near those fields where wild hemp is growing the hemp will pollinate your plants too.

During world war 2 hemp was grown all over the Midwest as part of the war effort and its very common to see it growing wild. Summer time along I-65 in Indiana when you see big areas of green growth it’s wild hemp.

There are many breeders working with hemp. There are also many high CBD strains that were created by breeding with hemp. You're not going to get high THC from it though.

Only thing I'd use those wild hemp plants for is mulch, compost or dry canna meal to ammend soils with. What most would consider useless, I see as purposeful. I'm completely organic/veganic grower. I'll forage lakes, forests and fields. Sometimes in fall I take all the straw bales and rotting pumpkins out of the streets gutter from Halloween and compost it all. It's rewarding on a personal level, but my gardens provide the true reward!

you can find lots of videos on youtube they call them landrace. most will flower a long time some people say high is totally different than regular weed.
you should get better results than a plant that had only rain and shitty soil. but probably not soo much better than the original.

but as rest of people said america has a strong hemp history there is a huge chance its hemp

Thank you! This is the answer I was looking for. I know it’s dirt weed but I thought it woulda been a cool project to try and grow this wild plant and see what happens

Wild Hemp has most certainly built resistance to all the environmental and pest related ailments.I wonder if that would translate somehow,foliar or otherwise.JS

It is a weed
It isn’t hard to grow or worth smoking/growing
Get a couple bag seeds and grow those
You will learn nothing growing that stuff

I understand I won’t learn anything. That wasn’t the point of my post. The point was just to ask if it would be better quality if I grew it indoors. I have actual good genetic seeds that I’ll be using my time on. I was just curious

Back in the early 80's a buddy of mine brought back a crap load of that stuff . Nasty .

That stuff used to show up in Portland back then. Some dude would drive out with a load of it and sell it for dirt cheap and then leave town.

It's not without value. Some does have significant levels of CBD so it could be used for making a CBD strain.

It was definitely good for giving you a headache . I don't doubt that it has potential as a CBD producer , but probably much better options for that these days .
