I doubt if there would be any legal problems growing hemp-nettle. The
hemp-nettle wouldn't contain any appreciable canabis resin, and probably does
grow naturally in areas where hemp was once a field crop. I did not pay
attention to the seed, whether it was oily, or abundant.
Some areas in North Dakota and Minnesota still had wild hemp in the 1970's
because a friend of mine used to go gathering it. He said it was left from the
commercial crops. He moved away, retiring in the south, a few years ago.
The growth of hemp-nettle I had, that was over 6 feet tall, was in a low lying
part of my beach cottage grounds. It was growing in black loam, only a few
inches deep, over yellow clay. It was sheltered by trees, and a bit damp. The
clay is quite similar to the kind that adobe is made from in California. I am
located 120 miles north of the US border, above northeast Montana.

I wonder if this stuff can legally be grown in the US, it might provide a
alternative to hemp ( seed oil and fiber ) if it can. Does anyone know?
