Plant identification

We have recently moved house and found this plant growing in the garden.  It shows no sign of flowering and looks very healthy.  The only plant we can find that looks anything like it is cannabis!!!!!image

    That's a relief!  I won't have to sneak around looking over my shoulder all the time!  I'm not keen on hellebores and have never grown them which is why I didn't recognise it.  Thanks for replying so quickly.

    Yes1 I  have one that looked very like a cannabis leaf . I compared a picture and the hellebore has two more  leaves at the base of the composite leaf than a cannabis plant.

    I wouldn't know cannabis if it fell on my head but that is definitely the same as my hellebore.

    It gets weird little green flowers and doesn't mind being stood on. It's beside where I get out of my car and just sits there filling a big gap and keeping weeds away! Great plant!
