What kind of plant on this medal?

[ModernMiner]

I dug this today at an 1800's house. I thought it was a marijuana leaf on it, but another opinion said it was not. Possibly a pine of sorts?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
MM

FP,
No writing on the front or the back, but the back looks like there could have been a round disc in there originally as it has a deeper insert rim.

Not knowing anything about loco weed as you guys are refering,I thought marijuana was just 5 leaf?? Of course,like I said,I don't know anything about aunt mary,boom,etc.

 

[Felinepeachy]

I think marijuana has odd numbered leaves 5,7, 9 etc But it looks very similar to Japanese maple

UGH...

That would make more sense to me than a MJ leaf medal at an 1800's house.
Thanks FP.

Lots of detail to the design...doesn't appear to be any kind of leaf...

Let me ask my friend. He's a horticulture guy AND a hippie.

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

Many old houses were used as - uh - hangouts.

Besides, marijuana was used for medical purposes in the 1800's.

Been a looooong time since I seen it growing. ...looks familiar. LOL It has a Marijuana shape but it looks like pine needles not Marijuana leaves.

I think it is meant to be Marijuana but it is just not exactly accurate.

 

[warsawdaddy]

It does look more like pine needles.
