Crop of the future?

Let me begin posting, after my long absence from the blog, with a shot of the mystery plant that popped up in my neighbor's little flowerbed next to our driveway. It's one of several that we've consulted each other on: "What is this? Is it a weed? I think I saw something like this flowering last fall. Let's let it grow & see what happens." What happened with this plant was: It grew huge, we realized it looked exactly like, shall we say, "hemp," and we had a plant-burning party at our firepit Saturday night. I wonder what the neighbors to the west thought of all the "fragrant" smoke. See the photo above and draw your own conclusions.
