Is marijuana a common garden weed in Southern California?

  It's pretty common in marshy areas like along rivers or washes

    "ditch weed" is not the same thing as medical/recreational marijuana cultivation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cannabis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cannabis SoCal is not one of the places you would expect to find much of it, according to the article. "the plant has re-seeded naturally and grown wild in states such as Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota, with Indiana reporting the largest concentrations nationally"

  Nit: I'm not an expert here, but I think cannabis or hemp more accurately describes the the plant, and marijuana is somewhat more likely to describe it as a drug. There's obviously a lot of overlap, and hemp can also describe the fibers, but never the drug.
