Dj Short has a small grow book that's worth grabbing for a few bucks. Not much history but its nice to see somone with cred take a jab at modern Cannabis standards.

Somone mentioned Chris Bennet, I've not read the book but the documentary Fire Baptism and The Lost Sacraments is a good one. Although its wrong on a few points, such as saying that anointing oil had weed flowers in it. No, those weights were for hash, not raw flowers!

About the anointing oil, it depends on the Biblical translation. I've seen versions where hemp is one of the ingredients. I'd be curious what a Biblical scholar would say. King James' translation contains many errors. Wonder what the ingredients are in the original.
The incense that was always burned in temples and churches for thousands of years, I'm pretty sure hemp or hashish was an ingredient quite often. In Hashish Robert Connell Clarke theorizes that incense makers may have been the first to screen cannabis for resin. It would make sense because they have access to the screens and raw materials.

Marijuana the first 12,000 years by Ernest Able, by far the best Cannabis history book.
Not to slight Cannabis Evolution and Ethnobotany by Merlin and Clarke. Which is great.

“Cannabis” by Chris Duvall is very good. It has some great material on Africa and busts some myths on hemp.
