Pigweed, Amaranthus

I Google'd an image of that plant and it looks like a dead ringer for the plant I posted. I would say your guess is very good, It must have escaped cultivation from whereabouts I live because this is not a normal plant seen here. thanks

Hopefully this will be a larger picture. Here is a link that might be useful: Larger picture

I tried to google purple weed to id the plant and got nothing but pages and pages of marijuana pictures. That is so frustrating. I eventually quit looking because no matter how I tried to google in a way to avoid this I couldn't. Why is the internet so obsessed with pot ? Normally I don't get up on my soapbox but i felt the need to vent. I'm gonna have to bring out the old paper books and look in there.
