The ancient Poo In Loos used it since ~1,200 BC, they called it "Soma" and it features in several holy books.

Most famous are probably the Assasins during the crusades. If they smoked or not I can't say but they were called hashish smokers

There was hash in the bazars in MENA being consumed/sold

Ancient Scythians burnt seeds to get high

^This.
If anything it was locally constrained, just like Aya. There's aya that's loaded to the gills with B. caapi and datura, while the tribe down the river has a brew that's essentially non hallucinogenic depending on availability, tradition, and location.

I IMAGINE Soma was likely the same, we have some indication of shrooms, some indication of ephedra, but most likely was made out of whatever handy for the person preparing it.

I find it more likely that Soma was a more-or-less standardized brew of multiple psychoactive substances that was passed down orally amongst the priestly castes.
