What do different religions think about people smoking marijuana?
Many of the
religions globally were inspired by cannabis, with it being an essential ceremony that was practised globally:

In the Bible Exodus 30:23-25 the holy anointing oil should contain Kaneh Bosem (קנה־בשׂם) - This is where we get the
etymology of the word cannabis from, as on trade routes to Greece, they also called it Cana - Bis...
In 1980
Dr Sula Benet recognized this mistranslation in the holy anointing oil ingredients; yet none take it seriously enough - even though
it isn't translated properly in many versions of the Bible.
The design of the candle in Exodus 25:31-40 is the same shape as the canna leave, which is why the symbolism; that they had a cannabis leave candle holder, and a holy cannabis anointing oil ceremony.
When the oils are made specifically in the art of a perfumer (refined oils), because THC is fat soluble, it causes it to become a molecular compound, assisting in the healing of many illnesses.
Zoroastrian texts clearly define Haoma as a reed based plant, with spiky type aromatics sweet smelling flowers; that also match sacred geometry in its symmetrical design = Cannabis by definition.
Hindus, Buddha,
Sikhs all have/had
Bhang as ceremony, where it is cannabis mixed with milk as a food; which helps in deep meditation to reach enlightenment.
Take into account a Christ is an anointed King, and all prophets were anointed; it is the missing key in spiritual development globally.
The identity was removed from religions maybe at the time of Babylon; Yeshua tried to reinstate the whole cannabis anointing oil, where the early church were healing the sick with it (Mark 6:13, James 5:14).
It seems because cannabis helps remove demons from people, some people keep banning cannabis, and have had a war on human consciousness; whilst allowing us to have brain altering substances like coffee, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, etc, which impair our thinking in negative ways.
Whether it is for medical purposes or just for the recreational use of marijuana how do different churches view this?
A Christian was called this in Early Church writings because they were anointed, else they would be called Baptists like John's disciples.
James 5:14 was saying they used cannabis for Healing purposes, it was maybe as the Church became corrupted by Pharisee infiltrators, it became more Babylonian, drinking alcohol at ceremonies instead.
As the scriptures say in Isaiah 29:9-14 the readers of the Bible have become dumb by drinking alcohol; this is why it says it is not for Kings or Princes to Drink as they might distort the Law (Proverbs 31:4-7), and yet though our lungs be fills like a bottle in the smoke, we do not distort the Law (Psalms 119:83) is in contrast.
Babylonians got drunk in meetings; Israelites are advanced shamans.
could you make the argument that God made this plant and he made this plant for a reason, the reason being to be consumed by the human body?
We can show how the body has an endocannabinoid system, where cannabis is a superfood needed for regulation of neural firing of the brain.
They found when giving children omega 3, it increased attention; cannabis has a full range of omega oils, and thus is needed for human development.
Hemp can be used to heal the nations, it literally removes cancer from people, and the land we live on, as it can remove radiation from nuclear fall out.
It is stated in ancient religious texts, that the beings who put humans on this planet, gave us the plant to help us.
Cannabis is
one of the plants that shows it sexuality: females have none systematic branching systems, with arched backs, and males have little balls sacks, that release pollen.
In other words the idea the plant is unique from the rest, and acts as a superfood for humans, healing many things; isn't then a complex question, to say: it was genetically made that way, by advanced beings who put us here.
In my opinion.
