Well, it could do any of these. I am thinking both in this case. I actually somehow doubt that mint would actually flavor the cannabis all that much. But it does tend to overzealous-ly crossbreed. You can do all kinds of crossbreeding with mint, and it often takes place unintended when mint is companion planted. Additionally, mint is known to add flavor to companion herbs in the garden.

Companion plants in gardens can do a variety of things. Many of the effects of planting various species of plants alongside each other are not entirely known or understood. I guess I'm trying to stir the pot of innovation, so to speak.

Anything anyone might be able to suggest, and why they think it might be a good idea?

Any hypotheses for the mint companion to cannabis?
