If you could sprout them first and plant them in little peat pots you'd probably have much better success
I always used plants in the wilderness because planting seeds alone will almost always fail. If you plan on planting seeds the way nature does, it would take millions of seeds because of the failure rate. Not only would you lose seed in bad weather conditions but to birds and small rodents. Mother nature drops millions of seeds in the fall before the major leaf drop. By Spring, the seed will have collected enough debris on top to cover the seed enough to germinate the seed.

Great way to feed snails slugs etc.
They LOVE sprouts - sprouts are extra Nutritious.

sombody said, he felt that if he germed directly in soil with no repotting, then less plants get eaten. He therorized that: "As soon as you repot once , even as seedlings they send out stresssignals(smells) wich snails can detect, and and they get more attacked"

Till lately i have also rarely heard about it. Ok, ive seen hemp growing multiple years in a small spot. Likely it was hemp, was weak weed
So, and lately there was someone who found Wild Weed in Canada. He found out that at this place where he found it there was 5 or 8 years ago illegal Cannabisseed producer...
So, they probably left alot seeds behind and therefore it survived. I think there were like 10 plants standing, and actually grew to a good size. So: it seems possible, i go with the others, you need ALOT seeds, atleast the amount of one fullseeded Plant, cause thats about the reproduction rate of a forthliving Species, that doesent expand nor shrik, logically right?
the cool thing, those were still potent he said, not weak , plus wild, perpetually forthliving.

It takes less time if you take a few snails & slugs home, as pets.
Then just feed them all your Cannabis seeds.
If you are serious about having some seeds sprout in the wild, you will need to give them an enclosure. Like the bottom cut off a plastic water bottle, to make a mini-greenhouse for the baby seed.

I had a guerilla growing Scandinavian friend who told me once that he accidentally one time started a self maintaining wild population. (He was producing seeds to sell). After a few years he saw those 'wild' plants start popping up all over the area.
He had to change location because of it due to safety risks.

Btw, I think the correct English terminology is 'feral' and not 'wild'.
(I'm non-native English speaker, so forgive me if i'm wrong).
Domesticated plants that revert to wild are referred to as escaped, introduced, naturalized, or sometimes as feral crops. Individual plants are known as volunteers. Large numbers of escaped plants may become a noxious weed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fer...ants that revert to,may become a noxious weed.

the wild strain that grew 5 to 8 years wild, with thc in it and an acceptable good/ok high
This story is about a wild cannabis crop in Australia discovered in the 60's and might interest some. Btw I have planted wild seeds in that area and none survived, but it clearly is possible to sow a wild crop.
Btw you "sow" seed, and "sew" clothes.
The wild story of the Hunter Valley cannabis infestation and its ‘weed raiders’
New South Wales
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
The Hunter Valley is now known for its fine wine, but it was once the scene of an enormous cannabis infestation that birthed Australia’s infamous weed raiders.
Cannabis was first introduced to Australia with the First Fleet in 1788, at the request of Sir Joseph Banks. The cannabis Sativa seeds were then planted and grown for commercial purposes. This continued until the 1925 Geneva Convention on Opium and Other Drugs, which scared Australia into taking a harsh stance on cannabis and other drugs.
NSW would then ban cannabis in 1935 – but this didn’t stop wild cannabis from growing. Over the next thirty years, the Department of Agriculture hunted down wild weed crops and destroyed them, burning large patches of land. However, as cannabis grows very easily in the Australian climate, new cannabis crops continued to grow wherever they were planted.
Cessnock area of Hunter Valley
Farmers first noticed the Hunter Valley cannabis infestation in the spring of 1963. After the Department of Agriculture and the police force were alerted, a ‘search and destroy’ taskforce was formed. The taskforce started pulling out the weed by hand, but this proved futile.
By 1964, the government introduced herbicide control into the region. By this time the Hunter Valley cannabis infestation had spread over thirty square kilometres – nearly the same size as the City of Melbourne, with patches dotted up and down 63 kilometres of the Hunter River.
The public then began to notice the infestation, with one newspaper even printing an article titled ‘Love Drug found in the Hunter Valley’. This inspired people to take advantage of the situation, birthing weed raiders who would sneak into the valley to claim free cannabis.
Over the next five years, police struggled to stop the raiders, as the infestation was so large a patch could reach up to 40 hectares. In Dr John Jiggens paper Marijuana Australiana, he quotes one raider, who said:
By 1971, the government had decided to take drastic action, using the herbicide 2,4-D on the cannabis. This was no small operation, as large patches had to be sprayed from crop dusters while officers battled the bush weed with backpacks of poison. A year later, however, it was finally successful – as the Department of Agriculture declared the Hunter Valley Cannabis Infestation over in 1972.
Experts now believe that the infestation had been there for over 150 years, as it was most likely planted by settlers William and Archibald Bell in 1823. This would have been a commercial crop, however, as the family loved growing cannabis so much their father argued cannabis should be Australia’s primary export in the 1819 Bigge Royal Commission.
