That's why "native" is in quotes. Strains and variants suited to the weather, that sort of thing. I know the herb wandered out of the Himalayas about 20,000 years ago, I just wanted to know if any of it had acclimated to here yet. I did find some wild plants on a creek near my house, but I'm guessing it was hippie bag seed that over wintered. Or authentic ditch ruderalis. Either way, I'm fairly sure someone other than me has been working the issue of hearty outdoor stock in this state. I just wanted to get a few named cultivars so I don't have to start from scratch.
And law enforcement hasn't got shit. More weed outside now than ever. I've even heard discussion about bringing in industrial hemp to pollute outdoor crops. Does that sound like they have a handle on anything? They couldn't even find 5000 plants with drip lines. A cattle rancher had to find it and turn it over to them. Cheeseman Lake, Pike National Forest, last year. They're busier writing tickets for money and killing babies with flash bangs on house raids. Fucking pigs.
