How did MJ start being called Buddha?

[Toni Montana]

I understand most slang or abbreviations but was just wondering how or why the name Buddha is slang for pot?

Thanks

I found this on a random google search

2. buddah

slang for marijuana. used to draw parallel between the buddah's state of nirvana and that cool, laid back feeling you get when you smoke a fat bowl.
"yo, wanna smoke some buddah son?"
"word."

I always figured it was just slang for bud.
