Weed. Coming to a city near you. To play a show. To blow your mind. West coast to the mid-west in almost less than two weeks. Look at those tour dates. Some of those drives are kinda insane/killer but totally doable. LA to Phoenix. They better have A/C. Then Phoenix to Albuquerque. Egads. Albuquerque to Denver isn't bad, I've done that. Then off to the Midwest which I don't know as that's the only part of the continental US I've never been. Still insane but once in Chicago/ Wisconsin looks alright. I like analysing this geographic tour journey.
These weeds grow all around my koi pond. I've pulled them up and planted other things, but they keep coming back, and they're TOUGH. If you uproot one, it has a bulbous, single root formation. I don't want to put poison around the fish-pond. What is this thing? Whatever it is, it is a rich foodsource for some kind of leaf-cutting insect!

ONCE in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
--Alfred Tennyson. The Flower (excerpt).
I've read that Joe-Pye weed, Eupatorium purpureum,is a member of the sunflower family and named after an Indian who used it to treat colonists suffering from typhus. The species here is sweet Joe-Pye weed, or green-stemmed Joe-Pye weed and belongs to the genus Eupatorium.
It grows in wet areas along rivers and lowlands and has a cluster of purple flowers that bloom from late summer into fall. It grows up to 5 feet tall and its leaves smell like vanilla when crushed. Taken along the banks of Cold Stream in the upper Kennebec watershed. The nearest cluster of homes is village of West Forks, Maine along route 201.

Jewel Weed in bloom. Also known as Touch-me-nots, as an herbal remedy it is used for skin rashes and irritation. The leaves and the juice from the stem of Jewelweed are used to cure poison ivy and other plant induced rashes. Jewelweed works by counter-reacting with the chemicals in other plants that cause irritation. Poultice from the plant is a folk remedy for bruises, burns, cuts, eczema, insect bites, sores, sprains, warts, and ringworm.

After being in Italy for a long time I came back to my house and found this 423652462 foot weed waiting for me.
I use this one for meals or feeling sick. Total body high that takes away all pain. Someone who went through chemotherapy said it was her favorite by far. easy grow, lower wield than i expected for suck a large plant, but plant required very little work. I can do this one and go anywhere cause it doesnt affect your head at all. I usually feel completely unstoned after smoking it cause it completely targets pain.
