Is this Marijuana?
I’ve been walking around my parent’s farm, and today I found this strange plant. I don’t plan to smoke it.. I’m just curious to what it actually is.
It’s rather small.. It has 5-7 leaves shaped like the marijuana leaf.. and it has yellow buds. I keep finding it in a couple spots around the field.

No it’s crack.
I don’t think so. Marijuana has 8-9 leaves.
Look at these pictures:

Many plants look like Marijuana, like these:

Where are you ? Would help . 1st guess would be Potentilla recta ( Five-finger, Five-leafed Cinquefoil )http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=PORE5&photoID=pore5_1h.jpg
2nd guess would be some other Potentilla . There are some Sticktights(Bidens sp) that fit , but the ones I know bloom later. That’s the plant with nasty 2-pronged, flat, triangular seed , that sticks to almost anything( esp. cats)
ps . Along time ago, my cousin from Colorado came east for a visit , and was estactic to find the ganj, growing wild all over . It was P. recta . I was 13 at the time , but old enough to know that THAT wasn’t it . Let him do it anyway, anticipating the look on his face when he fired it up. Unfortunately it was very humid the whole time, & he didn’t get it properly dried , ’til he got back home . Said it had ~ no flavor.
Its NOT marijuana so don’t smoke it. The female marijuana plant has flowers that look like compact leaves stacked on top of each other with white pistils (look like hairs) covering this flower. So we can definitely rule that out. On the other hand the male marijuana plant has small buds ( look like balls) at every node. These are green however, not yellow. It would help for some more detail, but it is definitely NOT marijuana.
Hope this helps

Oh and this is for all those people who answer these questions without knowing what you are talking about. You know who you are.
Marijuana plants do not only have 8-9 leaflets per leaf, depending on the genus (sativa, indica, etc.) The plant can have 7-11 leaves and not to mention with some genetic deformities due to cross breeding, I have seen them have 13 leaflets per leaf. Also he said the plants were small and therefore may not be mature and the marijuana plant does not reach 7 leaves until the 3rd node, sometimes more.
im pretty sure they are growing exstacy by the leaf aloccations youv stated
lol
Nice yellow flowers- Its cinquefoil. http://njaes.rutgers.edu/weeds/full.asp?potentilla
The plants on my campus have 3 leaflets for some reason, but still…
Other plants people mistake for marijuana, solely looking at the leaves and not taking any other diagnostic features into account include:
Mallows
Ambrosia trifida
Chaste tree
Star-leaved hibiscus
…And more recently tomatoes… I don’t know, I saw it on the news… What can I say, some police are just stupid.
if it has yellow bulbs (tiny,bunched together)it could be MALE marijuanna which is useless.
Only the female is good.
