When I lived in Illinois 48 yrs ago we had lots of these weeds but I have never seen this weed in TN until now. Google search for, farm weed pictures, yard weed pictures, garden weed pictures, wild weed pictures, hay field Weeds, google shows me, Marijuana.
How can I find this weed online?

I have similar weeds in my garden — pretty sure these are Fleabane or near cousins thereof … Multiple dime sized daisy-like yellow centered flowers develop at top of those 2~4 foot stalks.
I’m allergic to any daisy-family flower pollen so I try pluck them or uproot them as soon as I see them.
They have distinct smell to the green parts (flowers smell nice too). Not sure if they do repel fleas or not.

Epazote is another, similar looking weed (used in Mexican cooking) that grows all over, and even comes up in the cracks in sidewalks. It's got those sawtooth leaves, and has got a smell somewhat like turpentine. The stuff I grow is red Oaxacan epazote - I have some cuttings rooted in the kitchen, and might be planting them tomorrow.
