Man, I can't stand that stuff. One of few weeds that I pull out as soon as I see it.

It is in the same family that brought us coffee! Maybe that helps you appreciate it more :)

There are also other very similar looking herbs in the same genus that are really nice. Like Galium odoratum, which is used for its nice smell and flavor, e.g. in syrups or alcoholic beverages.
