The Bible talks about a lot of things. Its a big book and talks about many many aspects of human life and such. But does it say anything about smoking? or even more specifically about marijuana use?

Yes, it is believe to have been used in the annointment oil. Kaneh-bosm was wrongly translated as Calamus, when it was actually Cannabis (marijuana). The mistranslation still affects people today, and many people don't want to believe it, but there ya go.
google kaneh-bosm, and a bunch of stuff about it will show up.

The bible does not specifically mention marijuana. It does talk about herbs in general and it also speaks about treating your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

That stuff didnt become popular and an issue until after the Bible was produced. We can however deduce from Scripture though that things like drug use and tobacco have no place in the believers life.

YES there are MANY verses that make mention of an herb that is smoked or "drank the smoke" I'm sorry I don't have anything specifically from memory, but I'm positive that is doesn't name it as a sin. You're better off looking it up for yourself.

This one may be a little bit of a stretch, but Revelation 9:21 says "and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries (pharmakeia) nor of their immorality nor of their thefts."
The Greek word "pharmakeia" (from which we get the word pharmacy) can mean magic arts, like sorcery but it can also mean the use and administering of drugs. In that interpretation, John's vision tells us that in the last days people will not give up their drug use.

Not specifically marijuana... but it talks about drugs (narcotics) being a form of witchcraft allowing demonic spirits into your life.
It's in greek: narkotiko and farmako
I wish I remeber where it is.. Galations maybe

No. But there is something about those who take the Bible out of context.
