No, it wasn't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cannabis
sure it was! it left all the pure Columbian cocaine for the Tudors.
It was, because tobacco was very expensive in europe (being a colonial good), and cannabis was widely available (as a byproduct of the fabric and rope industry). Once smoking became fashionable, people looked for ways to smoke even if they couldn't afford tobacco. Cannabis was a popular replacement.
Can we get a source?
According to this article, we have no idea. It does not support OPs claim tho. (At least this article doesn't). Other sources might.

We talking weed here or hemp?
