Unfortunately for its coolness factor they didn't smoke it. They just grew a lot of hemp for its many uses.
Still cool.
Afaik, it eventually got there before the USSR ended, so hemp fields were restricted areas, and its use was in decline starting at some point. Not sure if I can find sources for that
