Almost certainly not. The ANE had no reefer. None. It was like a contemporary trailer park. Easier to get liquor and meth and opiates. That's the cesspool that abrahamism arose from, and still resides. Okay
In my defense, I took that comment more as a joke than a statement of historical fact.

Weird, right? We don't think of it. We can trace the introduction of marijauna to the ane in any meaningful way...to the joseon dynasty, 1392. There was minor infiltration beforehand - but then it became a flood. The two historically, culturally, and economically relevant strains (to drug use, anyway) are from se asia and c america. People pre contact with either of these two regions and their respective periods never knew it existed.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

They're like potatoes. Unknown, irrelevant, and then indispensible. Some anthropologists (and interested civvies like me) credit the presence or absence of the drug to the presence or absence of chill in native religions. A presence for living.
Carl Sagan, in contemporary times, would offer similar insight. That it was both strange and instructive when a culture would demonize a chemical that produced the lifeblood of civilized experience.
