In Exodus 30:26-29 God tells moses to create a mixture of herbs and oils to consecrate himself with. This oil contains calamus which was thought to be cannabis because it was translated from the word canneh bosom. Both calamus and cannabis are psychoactive and can be transmitted via skin.
First of all, no where in those verse does God instruct Moses to anoint himself. He tells him to anoint Aaron and his sons. Also about the anointing it is less of a literal thing and it is about the priesthood and ordaining them with the priesthood.
As for the specifics on calamus you are mistaken. It, itself is not medically a psychoactive drug. However it is used the making of ayurvedic medicine which actually counteracts hallucinogens.
The thought that it can be a hallucinogenic is actually a urban legend as based upon two pages of a book written by Hoffer and Osmund entitled The Hallucinogens. So there is no medical evidence of this being true.
