beside legal reasons -- enough light per day? animals that will eat it? no reason why you can't gow in a forest if it provides enough light and the plants can survive.. that's kinda something you have to observe locally and not something anyone can answer from the internet.
DLI map for your region can help you determine if the time of year and amount of light provided makes it worth while... if trees or other obstructions reduce number of hours of light per day, reduce the estimated DLI in a proportionla manner. 22ish DLI is about as low as you want to go... 35-40+ will pretty much maximize yield outside with ambient atmospheric CO2.. any more the plant just builds up a resistance to it.. co2 is the bottleneck, here.
these things are weeds... don't get some weird, inbred esoteric strain and you'll be fine. i've seen a youtube vid where a pruned off bit meant for the trash was in a bucket with a small amount of stagnant, shitty water and it grew roots, lol... this plant is robust. it's easy to grow.
