Baal is a title referring to king or lord.
Canaan + Baal = Cannibal
Cain & Able = Cannibal
And it likely means the Lord of Canaan. The plant (Cannabis) was deified as it was in the RigVeda's Soma hymns. Plants and Rain are closely related to Lords and Gods because they provide life.

Has the familiar Egyptian headdress resembling a mushroom.
Baal is associated with the Bull. If you read the Soma hymns of the RigVeda, it also mentions a Bull. They seem to be connected in several ways.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_bull
Plants and animals were people's first words in language, so they based their concepts/hymns/texts around plants and animals. They didn't have as many abstract words as we have. Where we go wrong is trying to interpret that language with our additional abstract words and concepts, framing it in a way they probably couldn't have imagined, and thru that we lose track of its original meaning.
In the RigVeda Soma hymns the Bull represents the process/understanding of how the Sun's energy is being converted by the hemp plant into succulent stems and buds to produce the final divine product of "honey oil" or "sun's drop". Cows love eating hemp, and this takes the honey oil from the hemp into the milk and feeds the strong Bull. The oil from hemp is golden yellow, similar to the color of the golden calf / bronze bull.
Humans witnessed this entire process and replicated it. They witnessed how the majestic bee/bird/butterfly took the Sun's energy in the form of nectar/pollen and spread it around. They saw how the bee made intricate hexagonal structures (hives). They exalted these flying creatures. The hexagon isn't an origin symbol of Satan or whatever, it's the symbol of the holy bee. They were makin' hives before we were makin' stories of Satan.
Finally I'll point you out to the Baal cycle, which despite its elaborate interpretation, seems to hint at a fertility cycle, death and rebirth (of a plant or of the ego), and even a vision:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal_Cycle
We must remember that the words they use represent different meanings than how we use words today. They used plants and animals and people's callsigns as their "language". They likely did not have abstract meanings, such as a generic word meaning "king" so they just used the king's name in place for king. Or they might say "Mot kills Baal" but it probably just means something like one plant arrives and the other dies off (seasons).
Much of religion and symbolism derives its origin from divine plants and their uses. Medicine was perhaps the first science.
Even to understand how the seasons work, and the weather, was an attempt to know when plants would be available for food and medicine. So maybe they prayed "to the soil/sky" for some rain! It goes way back to India:
Dyaus, impregnates the earth goddess, Prithivi, with rain, causing crops to grow on her.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prithvi
The cow is important here too. Another word for Dyaus is Zeus.
