another question for buddhists: marijuanna as a meditation tool?

this isn’t just a dumb stoner question, either. do buddhist scriptures or stories about buddha mention marijuanna use? did people in buddha’s time smoke pot? did buddha himself, before or after enlightenment? do any buddhists agree that it is a good tool for meditation?
just responding to student for life…weed doesn’t act the same way for everyone; when i smoke it i get extra aware. sure, it makes some people seem dumb, but if used for a purpose it can have the opposite effect. personally, it helps me to concentrate and it never really “clouds” my mind, and some of my best ideas and revelations have come to me while high. anyway, thanks for the input.
