Plantene hos Botanisk hage i Oslo er geotagget, så hvis du vil besøke en av de få lovlig dyrkede cannabisplantene i Norge, finner du den her. Plassering i Vikinghagen er litt misvisende, ettersom cannabisplanten var en essensiell ingrediens i flere produkter helt frem til den ble erstattet av oljen.
