Is it true that marijuana is often found on the streets with seeds?

1. True

2. False

3. Only in certain regions

4. Usually without seeds

The correct answer is: True

The assertion that marijuana is often found on the streets with seeds is accurate, particularly when considering historical context and the evolution of marijuana cultivation practices. In the past, street marijuana often contained seeds due to the cultivation of male plants alongside female plants, which led to pollination and seed production. This was more common when marijuana was not bred for high potency and was instead grown for general use. While today’s marijuana varieties, particularly those from dispensaries or cultivated selectively for potency, tend to be seedless because growers primarily cultivate female plants to prevent seeds, there continues to be some street marijuana that may have seeds due to less careful growing practices. Additionally, in certain regions where illegal or lower-quality marijuana is prevalent, you might encounter products that still contain seeds, making the statement generally true. This knowledge underscores the variance in the quality and type of marijuana found in different locales and contexts.
