It is already grown as a commercial hemp fibre crop both here and to a
much greater extent in France. The farm cultivar has been bred to not
contain the active ingredient that you seek in any significant quantity.

China is the biggest producer with 80% and France second with 15% of the
world market. UK is mostly too cool for it to grow well. That is why the
enforcement guys use thermal IR cameras to find illegal farms.
(although the waste heat is usually a side effect of the growlamps)

No particular skill is required apart from obtaining the seed. It is a
rather large ugly and conspicuous plant. An elderly neighbour had one
growing from spilt birdseed and clearly had no idea what it was.
