The U.K, they are very common, I always see them growing between paving slabs, down alleys, here and there on peoples lawns, in the parks.... they are everywhere. and they hurt too!! I would say as common as stinging nettles, only fewer numbers in comparison

Canadian thistles are not easy to kill, as its root will be right to the bottom....you can pull it out but it typically breaks off the tail-end of the root, which will resurface in time

good luck on the assassination of your uninvited predator

haha i had a plant like that grow out of one of my soil grows once, it started sprouting right next to one of my plants in the same pot, it was really weird. It was really deformed and when i pulled it out the stem was about a foot long no joke! have no idea how it got the energy to get all the way to the surface without any energy from leaf growth haha! was a pure fighter but none the less wasn't a mj plant so not my problem
