The only other explanation is it was spread in bird poo.
The two plants were spotted in Anglesea Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight yesterday (15 Jul).
The flower beds are managed by Ryde Town Council but were planted by the charity, Haylands Farm.
Plant recognition technology identified them as Kush — a variant of cannabis which is a Class B drug.
Haylands Farm admitted it is the case and it is removing them.

“As they will be gone by the morning.”
Ruth Meyer added: “How many people are walking around town right now.”
Lorraine Palmer said: “Brilliant.”
A Haylands Farm spokesperson said: “We looked it up and it said it was Kush, a cannabis variety.
“It will be taken out and it certainly isn’t something we would grow here.
“It has probably been put in by a local or came from a bird poop.”
Ryde Town Council has been approached for comment.
