It sucks that common mugwort is still illegal here in Indiana. Thankfully, there's a dispensary about 30 minutes away in Illinois.

Wait does it have psychoactive properties? First I'm hearing of mugwort, sounds like a witch should use it.

I think you need to take a closer look at the plant labeled as mugwort.

Oh I see the joke lol. It doesn't really look that much like weed and other plants do have psychoactive properties too sometimes, tbf! Haha.

Dude, that's literally weed.

This is mugwort.

Well, this is the weed I'm familliar with

and this is mugwort

No buds on the drawing, and some of the leaves go back down the stem in the drawing like the above picture of mugwort, not weed.

a scientific drawing of weed in a similar style would look more like this.

I guess I'm just too familiar with actual weed plants, so it doesn't look exactly right to me because it isn't.
