It's unlikely that Jesus Christ ever smoked cannabis out of a pipe, but if kaneh-bosm and cannabis are indeed references to the same plant, it is quite likely that he came into contact with it.

yes indeed... it was hemp that was used in the area but it was used as a material rather than a drug or medicine. it was used for all the things we could be using hemp for now.
any smoking done in the middle east was hashish and that was much later.
now i once read a book called The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross... that one's an interesting theory!
peace and blessings on your spiritual quest,
