Rumi used to smoke weed?

In the ancient world wine used to be infused with psychedelic herbs and was very different from today's wine.

So Rumi may be referring psychedelic wine.

Re-reading the above poem several times, it seems like Rumi was speaking of weed as a tool for ego-transcendence. That would make a lot of sense to me.

Rumi lived in the middle ages, not ancient time.

He ultimately lives in Imagination.
