Ha, I bought that 6ft Japanese maple tree there and man it looks great in my living room. People freak out over it all the time. I love posing for pictures in front of it. Great conversation piece. I just make sure to keep them out of the basement.

Pot leaves actually only have 7 leaves, not 9 like this picture portrays, so they do look very much alike.

Yeah it looks similar, but the pot leaf has an extra leaf on the bottoms.

I love the internet! Thank you for posting this site! My fiance and I were on a wonderful walk tonight and came across this tree with pot-looking leaves! I looked on internet to find what on earth is this plant (we figured it must be some form of maple) and sure enough, it is Japanese maple! Thank you so much for posting this and letting us know! I wonder if I could smoke it? Hmmmm.

This isnt a scientific website where everything needs to be perfect to look alike. Thats the point of “looks like”. They look similar. No one said they look exactly alike with no difference. You must see everything so very very critically.

Grandma: Here you go Tom, I made you some muffins.

Tom: Well, muffins aren’t frosted so this is actually a cupcake.

….Tool.

i agree with mary ivonoski on this one… just say what you need to say and leave it at that the only thing more stupid than sounding stupid is trying to sound smart…. and no one is saying they look identical they’re saying is looks similar! you’re an idiot… i learned the difference in grade school… F***in moron

Thank you! I was trying to figure out what kind of plant i had growing in my yard… It not only looks like a marijuana leaf but it grows the same too, the leaves are indirect each other just like the cannibus, however cannibus are rigid out-lined and the lines across the leaves are very dominant compared to the japanese maple.

Only a Stoner would think that they are in any way “Alike”. You must have an I.Q. Lower than George W. Bush, the Dumbest President Ever. (Reference: Harvard I.Q. Evaluation of the last 21 Sitting Presidents) Anyone with a Clear Head and Half a Brain can tell the difference immediately. POT makes You even more Stupid than You already are. Quit now before You Drool Your Life away.

You don’t smoke the leaves === you smoke the female flowers (“buds”). Just like with people, the female parts are the best

When times are bad, there’s always maple trees to smoke… Acutally I wonder if anyone has ever smoked the “japanese-home-grown-goooood-stuff”…

I know someone who tried to bring a Japanese maple leaf back from Japan, and the airport security confiscated it. Apparently they didn’t have science class either.

That reminds of something, my aunt’s house used to belong to drug dealers and there’s a pot leaf tiled on the bottom of the pool, and growing up they told us it was a oak leaf!

You might be surprised at some of the plants they eat in Japan. I believe I have experience chrysantemum leaves with a meal. Not bad, actually. Sort of bitter like most other greens such as mustard, collards and turnip.

In Japan, in the Osaka area(s) they deep fry the maple leaves.
Quite nice akshuly.
Which is a bit disturbing.

About time someone did this! I just forgot the name of the other plant (Japanese maple)

I always see a fake Japanese maple in Hobby Lobby and I’m always like “LOL POT”

Not many people have experience with the leafy form of pot you idiot. Every time I got it when I was young it was already processed and in a damn baggie!

My grandmother used to press leaves in books and save them. One year she gave my dad a book called “A Reverence For Wood” (not even gonna comment on that). Anyway, my brother, who was about 10 at the time, maybe a little older, just finished with D.A.R.E., opens the book and a Maple leaf fell out. He started freaking out and asking if grandmom was high…
Classic, and we still make fun of him to this day.

seriously…they don’t look that much alike. Clearly the submitter has not enough experience with the second of the two. First one -obviously maple leaf. Did no one do leaf projects in elementary school?

Whatever – you can smoke it if you want to, I guess.

There was this church in Sweden that used one of those Japanese Maple leaves on their newsletter recently, and somehow it became this big news story about “CHURCH ENTICES WITH CANNABIS”.

An article about it in one of the biggest swedish newspapers:

Aside from structure, color, number of leaves, and “medicinal” properties…

Anon, the poster, probably sees everything else so very, very poorly…

Anon: Here kitty kitty, I have a treat for you!

Wow…. uncanny! One of my friends took a pic of a leaf on a park bench and was all like “there was a pot leaf!”
No… No there wasn’t. Botany fail lol
