Thanks very much for the guess, but I don't think so by the
pictures I've found.
Plus, none mention the sharp hairs which are a very strong
feature.

since no one else mentioned it, i'd say it looks like
stinging nettle. when young the spines aren't too awful, but
it requires gloves when it's more mature.
it's actually good to eat in the spring. cooking destroys the
sharp little spines.
