After being very frustrated he decided to consume these cannabis leaves and it helped Shiva enter the alpha state of mind while meditating instantly and Cannabis became his favourite food
Cannabis is also mentioned in a very old tale of Lord Shiva which you must have heard of "The Churning Of Cosmic Ocean"

and a by product poison Halahala, most venomous poison in the whole universe, which was capable of ending entire cosmos with its power.

 Lord shiva drank the whole poison turning his throat blue giving him a new name NEELKANTH. The agony of the poison was to much for Lord shiva to handle and he consumed cannabis to give relief to his body.
