When I lived in rural Nebraska from '85-'87 "ditchweed" (as it was indeed
called) was as abundant as ever. What I found really interesting was that
none of the locals collected or smoked it despite the fact that it grew
absolutely everywhere. However, people from the East and West coast would
frequently come out and harvest it, occasionally getting busted for their
effort.
