I was surprised by this question, so I went ahead and looked it up:
Isaiah 43:24 711 BCE
“You have not bought any fragrant calamus [cannabis] for me, or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses.”

Hemp is mentioned a few times in the bible, especially in the old testament. It is mentioned as being used for incense for celebrations and a way to be intoxicated. There are arguments for hemp and marijuana because it is a plant made by God, so there should be no issues in consuming it.
Hemp reeds are also mentioned as being used as a material for rugs and other items used in homes.

We can see hemp-related topics and original Hebrew testament, the usage of it as the intoxicant manner, and incense for religious ceremonies. Some people define the words of genesis 1:29 to refer to weed, which is genetically suitable and certified for humans since God formed this earth and all plants.

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you, it shall be for meat.
The original Hebrew supposedly mentioned hemp by name, so some people interpret these words to mean it was created for us by God.

Hemp is mentioned in the bible, apparently in Genesis 1:29. It is said that Genesis 1:29 is implying that marijuana is edible because, like all plants, it was created by God. There is also mention in the Old Testament of hemp, in Exodus 30:8 and Exodus 30:22. Also, in the Old Testament, Song of Songs 4:8. There are many more references to hemp and cannabis in the bible.
