Very good analysis, and the same ratios apply to current WWW hits. Clearly that sense is not mainly クサ, and in fact クサ could probably be either hidden or simply dropped.

Sankoku doesn't mention the katakana form in its entry for くさ【草】.
The n-grams below make me question whether it's actually common at all. We might be better off dropping the note.

  Comments:
The hiding of a form and just having a note is usually when it's usually a less common alternative way of writing that sense. Here a cannabis/marijuana sense would almost always be written クサ. If it's not visible, it should be in its own entry.
I'll close this to shorten the queue and reopen for a bit.
