Nice fly! Designed, no doubt, to give the wee trouts a case of the munchies. Probably illegal in the States, though.

I have seen plenty of hemp in my career but nothing like this. May be if it was marketed properly we could get some useful work out of some of these pot growers.

Looks to me that there are two old FT schools merged in this fly:
traditional spiders
technique from North Country and traditional
material (hemp) for wet flies from Bosnia. I'm aware that spiders are so much better documented in old books, than Bosnian (or Balkans') approach of fly tying.
Nevertheless, hemp mentioned above is "industrial hemp", used in textiles manufacturing in past centuries. It's not the specie that can be abused. Fortunately. (...or not).
