Cannabis lookalike plant

[Mortartube]

I've often wondered what plant is used to simulate cannabis plants in crime series etc, as I don't suppose they use the real thing. What varieties of plant resemble the cannabis plant for film use etc?

Tomatoe plant' leaves look very simular!

.. a plant which looks very similar to cannabis is a Dizicothica - this is probably not pselt right though - it has ver similar leaves...

They quite probably do use the real thing as the hemp plant is grown legaly by some farmers, although the variety grown has virtually no narcotic content, but still looks the same.
