Answer 2

It sounds like a Hardy Hibiscus; specifically- Texas Star. The leaves look almost exactly like those of weed.

Answer 4

too many leaves to be marijuana. your plant has 7 leaves and marijuana only has 5 :)

Answer 5

OK folks. Enough speculation! I have ID'd it.

It is Rough-fruited Cinquefoil (Potentilla recta). I have tons of it in my garden. Here's a link with lots of nice photos including of the leaves which match those of the questioner.  (TheGuru?).

If it looks like marijuana, smells like marijuana and if you dry it and smoke it, gives you a buzz like marijuana, then it's probably oregano.
