Weed
A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, "a plant in the wrong place", or a plant growing where it is not wanted.Harlan, J. R., & deWet, J. M. (1965). Some thoughts about weeds. ''Economic botany'', ''19''(1), 16-24. This introduces the concept of humans and their goals in a particular setting.Holzner, W., & Numata, M. (Eds.). (2013). ''Biology and ecology of weeds'' (Vol. 2). Springer Science & Business Media. The concept of weeds is particularly significant in agriculture, where the aim is growing crops or pastures of a single species, or a mixture of a few desired species. In such environments, other plant species are considered undesirable and therefore a weed. Besides, some weeds have undesirable characteristics making them a plant pest in most human settings.Harlan, J. R., & deWet, J. M. (1965). Some thoughts about weeds.

''Cannabis'' has many different names, including more than 1,200 slang terms, and more than 2,300 names for individual strains. Additionally, there are many names to describe the state of being under the influence of the substance. This list is not exhaustive; it includes well-attested names. The first recorded name for cannabis is the Chinese 麻 (Má), which is prehistoric. Formal names Strains, cultivation and preparation Commercial cannabis growers and retailers have given individual strains more than 2,300 names. A 2022 study in PLOS One, drawing data from almost 90,000 samples from six US states, representing the largest quantitative chemical mapping of commercial dispensary-grade cannabis flower samples to date, found that “commercial labels do not consistently align with the observed chemical diversity.” In other words, many strain names do not necessarily reflect the actual cannabinoid content or its perceived effects.

Swing The Statue!
''Swing the Statue!'' is the second album by American singer/songwriter Victoria Williams, released in 1990 by Rough Trade Records. Background Williams’ debut, 1987's ''Happy Come Home'', received some good critical reviews but made zero commercial impact, selling only fourteen thousand copies. Her original label Geffen was unimpressed by the nonexistent sales and dropped Victoria, after she fired her manager by mail. Early in 1989 her marriage to Peter Case also fell apart. After her split with Geffen, Victoria would record “Don't Let It Bring You Down” for the Neil Young tribute album '' The Bridge''. She would record her second album in four days early in 1990, focusing on the more joyful of the dozens of songs she had written over the three years since the debut album. Williams would sign with Rough Trade Records early in 1990, as one of that label's last ever signings.Young, Rob; ''Rough Trade'', p. 176 Despite many positive critical reviews, the collapse of Rough Tr ...

Weeds (album)
''Weeds'' was the second album by Brewer & Shipley and was released in 1969. The album was recorded at Golden State Recorders in San Francisco and produced by Nick Gravenites using the pseudonym "Nicky Gravy". Gravenites assembled a group of highly respected musicians for the album recording sessions, including guitarist Mike Bloomfield, bassist John Kahn, pedal steel guitarist Red Rhodes, violinist Richard Greene and keyboardists Mark Naftalin and Nicky Hopkins. The final track, "Witchi-Tai-To," in particular, received a lot of FM radio play, contributing to the album's modest success. The duo gained a devoted underground following as a result of this exposure, which also prepared them for the commercial success of their upcoming album release. ''Weeds'' has been reissued on CD twice, both times coupled with Brewer & Shipley's third album '' Tarkio'', firstly by Collector's Choice records in 2004 and then by Acadia Records in 2008.

In 1964, Fred Cole ( lead vocals) recorded his first single, a R&B original with a group known as the Lords, but the band proved to be short-lived, and in 1966, Cole formed the Weeds. The Weeds consisted of Cole, Eddie Bowen (guitar), Ron Buzzell (guitar), Bob Atkins (bass guitar), and Tim Rockson ( drums). After releasing a single, "It's Your Time". on the local Teenbeat Club label, the group headed to San Francisco, where they had been promised a gig at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium. Upon arrival, however, they learned that nobody associated with the Fillmore knew anything about the gig.
