I didn't see anything in the bible that says you shouldn't smoke weed.

The word cannabis is derived from a Hebrew term from the Bible (qana bosem, which means “sweet reed”) and is an ingredient in the oil used to anoint the high (heh) priests.

Additionally, this passage from the Apocrypha exists (folks’ mileage will vary on how authoritative that passage is because, Apocrypha):

4 The Lord created medicines from the earth, and a sensible person will not hesitate to use them. 5 Didn't a tree once make bitter water fit to drink, so that the Lord's power might be known? 6 He gave medical knowledge to human beings, so that we would praise him for the miracles he performs. (Sirach/Ecclesiasticus 38:4-6)
