There is a point of view that the Hebrew word "ashishut" , which is translated as "raisin cakes", does not have any roots from grapes, and this is ordinary hashish.
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I [am] sick of love. —> Stay me with hashish, comfort me with apples: for I [am] sick of love.
Sustain me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, Because I am lovesick. (NASB)—> Sustain me with hashish, Refresh me with apples, Because I am lovesick.
(Song of Songs 2:5)
"… by the Egyptians is called Assis (Hashish (Arab.)), which is the poulder of Hemp, or of Hemp leaves, which is water made in paste or dough, they would eat five pieces, (each) as big as a Chestnut (or larger); This is used by the common people, because it is of a small price …" — Wikipedia
If anything, the hashish version seems more plausible in the context of Song of Songs. Also, what was mentioned by the prophet Hosea may indicate the intoxicating property of "ashishah", which attracted the Israelites to a cult alien to them. Perhaps the fight against this cult led to the destruction of the memory of ancient times, when King David used this product to treat the Israelites during the celebration of the Lord.
There is some similarity between the word "ashishut" and the Hebrew root "rejoice" - שוש.
Against the version that "ashishah" is hashish, there is an inexplicable gap in the references to the use of hemp resin as a narcotic substance in all historical sources, before 1123 AD.
In any case, the madness of Christians, prohibiting the use of wine and prohibiting the use of narcotic substances today, as a result of which we today have a drug mafia and senseless torment for patients who need painkillers, must be condemned by the Lord God.
Oh, vile creature, a blasphemous state, supported by the Babylonian harlot of the Christian religion, who drinks our blood! You won't have long to enjoy your deceptions.

They ask me: what is the practical sense in this question, about the interpretation of one word in the Bible?
The meaning is simple: we should not forcibly forbid people to use for their personal needs what they consider necessary for themselves. Any violence ultimately turns against us: Prohibition in the United States strengthened the mafia, the universal ban on drugs led to an unheard-of distribution of these very drugs, and to the flourishing of the drug mafia. The fight against heresies leads to the fact that religion itself has become heresy. "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." We must not interfere with the madness of the world until the days of the Judgment, 1335 days, are over.
