I have often wondered -- would they know a Dizygotheca elegantissima if they
saw one?  It's a nice-looking plant, but I hesitate to grow one given the
so-called "war on drugs."

well, i have Hibiscus cannabifolia and nobody has batted an eye at it. they
seem to know DOPE in the cultivated form, and do not know enough about
plants to make a mistake. which is to say, they know what they know. they
even know the difference between cultivated and wild. cultivated is pinched
back to make many flower heads, which makes the foliage tufted. whereas the
wild plant is all stretched out and rangy, Still, i think they have to
really IDENTIFY the stuff and if you say it is Dizygotheca
elegantissima, and bring your Exotica to them, and shrug calmly and
caution them not to smoke any, i think you are home free. i do not believe
the growing of plants which resemble marijuana is forbidden. it was grown
locally to make rope during WW2. perhaps i mentioned that. so it grows
wild, along with Daturas which are very potent, we have some Datura
overdose kids every year.
