Because the other reply was a joke, just wanted to say YES. They absolutely can forbid you use or possess weed on the premises.

Defacto most probs won’t give a shit unless it becomes a “problem”, but the threat is always there. Also, not all things in the lease may be “legal” per se, but landlords have lawyers, renters typically don’t

I'm not sure if they can forbid you from possessing it on the premises, but I'm certain they can forbid growing and smoking cannabis on-premise.

I could be wrong about possession but that feels a bit beyond normal restrictions unless federal law applies somehow.

So are you saying they can only prohibit it if it’s clearly stated in the lease? What if someone grew it and the landlord said I don’t want this here but the lease doesn’t specify the tenant can’t grow it.
