I remember reading that through the centuries Muslims used pot to fuel assassins.

The word “assassin” comes from hashish, which was given to members of an Islamic sect during the Crusades. The original Assassins would kill either Christians or bad Muslims, confident that they had already seen a glimpse of paradise.

Ḥashshāshīn. Not pot.
