It's not that we have receptors for plant chemicals, but that we have receptors for chemicals that are similar to ones found in certain plants. So when someone found the effects of smoking weed, it was a matter of time before genes that promote such behavior is favored among weed smokers. Richard Dawkins's The Extended Phenotype clearly applies in this case. I also recommend The Selfish Gene if you've any questions about evolution.
