Not even close. Pot (well, hash) was being smoked in Europe centuries before the discovery of the new world (and tobacco). Way longer than that in the rest of the world. For centuries ship captains complained that the hardest part of their job was to keep the sailors from smoking the rigging.

In fact, you have inspired me to turn on some 13th & 14th century tunes about smoking the doobie I just happened to have in my office.

I will let the following stand in as my versification of the day:

Puisque je suis fumeux, plains de fumee,
Fumer m'estuet, car, se je ne fumoye,
Ceulx qui dient que j'ay teste fumee
Par fumee, je les desmentiroye.
Et n pourquant ja mais ne fumeroye;
De fumee qui fust contre rayson.
Se je fume, c'est ma compleccion
quolerique qu'ainsi me fayt fumer.
Je fumeray sanz personne graver,
C'est bien fumme: if n'i a point d'outrayge
Quant on fume sans fayre autruy damage.

BR(last two lines: "It's well smoked: there's no outrage done when one smokes without harming another.")C

Way, way way more sophisticated than "I Smoke Two Joints in de Morning". Bravo!
