Need Help Identifying, NOT Cannabis!

I need some urgent help identifying this plant.
They are growing in my friend's and neighbors gardens.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help identify them as they are having problems with his housing association officer who is claiming that they are cannabis plants, which from looking online do not look like any cannabis plants I can find, they have little to no smell with none of the sharp zigzag-shaped leafy edges of cannabis, or even look like any hemp plant, but they do look a little like the "curl dock leaf" but taller and thinner leafed, also, "Enchanter's nightshade" looks close...
But still, this housing officer is very adamant they are cannabis plants.
So if anyone can help identify them, or no any way of finding out what they are, we will be very grateful.

    Absolutely NOT CANNABIS plants ... (and I’m a former Art Student ... I’ve seen plenty).

    Rosebay willowherb? AKA fireweed.

    Yes, I would say Rosebay Willowherb. Get rid of before they flower, they are pretty but will seed everywhere.

    I think rosebay willowherb too. It's a common enough weed, I'm surprised the housing chap couldn't recognise it. It's easy enough to pull out. I can see worse weeds in there - bindweed and brambles - but no cannabis.

    You've got some cleavers in there too.

    It doesn't look anything like cannabis leaf. A completely different shape.
