What do Christians believe Kaneh Bosem translates to?

Lest any Cannabis lovers get too excited, the qaΜneh portion of this compound phrase seems to indicate the stem or stalk of a reed-like plant:
Brown-Driver-Briggs' Hebrew Definitions
- reed, stalk, bone, balances 1a) stalk 1b) water-plant, reed 1c) calamus (aromatic reed)
If anyone has ever seen a full grown Cannabis plant it is difficult to imagine calling it a reed. It really looks more like a bush than anything. Cannabis is the top picture and Calamagrostis/Reed Grass is on the bottom.
If Cannabis is in view here (which seems unlikely) it would be specifically referring to the stalk of the plant and not the leaves or buds. The stalk or stem of Cannabis contains very little, if any, of CBD, THC, or any of the "desired" chemical compounds.
This is not to downplay the medicinal uses of the Cannabis plant but only to say it was unlikely to have been used in the concoction of Holy Anointing Oil for temple use. After all, why rub the Ark of the Covenant, the altar, the candlesticks, etc. with medicinal or psychotropic compounds?
Additionally, even if Cannabis is the referenced plant, the items to be used in temple worship and indeed the priesthood and the very temple itself are rendered obsolete by the advent of the Christ to whom it all pointed.
Christians do not make use of "holy anointing oil" to sanctify either items or people. Sanctification under the New Covenant is the work of the Holy Spirit. No Cannabis needed.
