Re: [mou-net] Chickadees on marijuana
And there must be many versions of hemp. I have a wild version that is impossible to kill off. My great grandpa in Morrison County used to have a difficult time getting rid of his version so livestock wouldn’t get into it. Grandpa had to slash n burn. I at least have the advantage of weed killers. And I would guess what is being licensed to grow for CBD and other commercial use is different too. From my farm publications it is a variety that doesn’t produce the THC that is mind altering. It’s pretty strictly regulated. Back to bird feeding I’ve not seen birds taking seed from what we have here that’s wild. But then I try to burn it down before it seeds. I do have another invasive weed that I watched white throated sparrows feed on seeds yesterday. I’m just glad someone appreciates that noxious invasive.

Re: [mou-net] Chickadees on marijuana
I was one of the people in Carrol Henderson's study offering the hemp seeds at my feeder in Duluth--didn't have any takers, either.
